1930 Model A Sedan: This Hot rod has the 1945/1948 Ford Flathead, 239 cubic inch 59 AB 90-100 HP: 1937 Ford 3spd transmission: 1933 front end: 1931 rear end: 1939/1940 model brakes with frame mount master and pedals. Up-dated Alluminum radiator, new wiring, New brakes/master/wheel cylinders. Radiator Shell is new old stock from the 1960's. New Coker Classics: 560-15 on the front, L78-15 on the rear. This is not a new build but a restoration from a surviving vintage hot rod from the early 1950's. Many of the parts have been repurposed adding the 60 amp alternator that is not original to the Flatheads. The Lakes style headers are authentic to the period this car was built matching the design from the early A-V8 cars that were built. The Model a has a 4" chop with the body mounted back on the frame like it was originally built leaving the splash aprons attached. Painted in Satin red and gloss black PPG paint.

HISTORY:  What is very cool about this Model A Sedan is that it was originally built between 1949 and 1952: After returning from the WWII many Vets wanted to go fast: finding the Model A servived the scrap drives, the 4 cylinder was modified many times to go as fast as possible on the back roads of Oregon and then North West Montana. With dreams of dry lake beds the Sedan began its transformation from family car to Hot rod in 1949 when the first of many Flathead V8's was installed. In 1950 a 1937 Flathead was installed and transmission:"the same tranmision still opperates today" also the 1933 front axle was installed. After a couple of years the Sedan was changed yet again to go even faster: a 1940 Flathead was installed along with juice brakes all the way around and by the end of 1952 the hood and fenders were removed along with front and rear bumpers and guards leaving the splash aprons.  The result being the Model a A-V8 as they were called back then. The car opperated for many years between Oregon and Monatana where it was a daily driver. The Model A was never really all that fast, but it was loud and felt fast and that is all the mattered at the time. In 1987 the Sedan was once again torn down for a rebuild and restoration adding many new parts, the 4" chop and the 1945-1948 Flathead 239 59 AB along with many other plans were stalled for many years as the A V8 was passed from one family member to another finally being completed the last couple of years. I tried to get some old photos to pass on but due to illness and hospital visits I was unable to aquire any other than visits on the phone and stories passed on from the original owners family.  I hope to who ever has the winning bid they keep the story  about this car alive and pass it on.  If you want to own a piece of Hot rodding history this is your car, a car we only read about but never find. An original Model A Ford A-V8 is a great thing to own! If you are looking for air ride suspension and air conditioning this is not your car! This Model A is priced to sell with a low reserve; anyone looking for a great vintage Hot rod can win this bid! Good luck and feel free to ask questions I will be happy answere them and if I can't I will do my best to find the answere for you!!

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Ford F-150 Tremor to pace NASCAR Truck Series this weekend

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Ford's bro-tastic F-150 Tremor will be pacing this weekend's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway. The Tremor fills a gap in the Ford F-Series lineup that we imagine the NASCAR set have clamored for - a hot-rod pickup truck.
Where the F-150 Raptor is designed to go quick on anything, the Tremor and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 are designed to tackle the road. The 365-horsepower and 420-pound-foot EcoBoost is unchanged from the rest of the F-150 line, but it combines the shortest drive ratio with the lightest two-door body, making it a bit of hot rod.
Ford will be offering hot laps with Michigan native Brad Keselowski behind the wheel of the Tremor for fans that arrive in the Irish Hills on August 14. The main showing for the new pickup will be the August 17 race, though, when it'll lead the field at the start of the race and through cautions.
