Otho, Iowa, United States
fresh out of dry storage since 1969 is this old model A coupe. i bought it from the person that had it from the early 60s. he rebuilt motor and installed a jc whitney 3/4 cam as he described it. he claims motor has probably 500 miles on it since rebuild. was last driven on his wedding day then put into storage. car is a rumble seat car with extra trim added along with a side mount antennae[ probably for a coontail as there is no radio]. i bought the car out of his storage shed brought it home and checked it over. the gas tank was dry and super clean-i had to replace the wheel cylinders and shoes along with a couple of steel brake lines to get the juice brakes working has good brakes now. the coupe has what looks to be 35 ford headlights for the sealed beams. car has 16'' rims. this is a old hotrod and the paint shows it with plenty of cracks and patina. the roof has been filled but has a false textured insert painted on and looks pretty nice. all the glass looks to be replaced back in the 60s with safety glass. car runs and drives down the road and all the lights -gauges-electric wipers etc work. car is a rumble seat cat and has been reupholstered again back in the 60s. car has very little rust in lower cowl that is typical and fenders have some dents. please feel free to email me with any questions or call my cell# 515-570-5646. buyer is responsible for shipping cost but i will help load etc as much as i can. has clear title. i require a 10percent deposit thru paypal within 48 hours of auction end. will make a perfect car to restore as it is complete or hotrod it. too nice of a car for me to use for my project so decided to sell. thanks and good luck marty

2015 Ford S-Max adds all-wheel drive, adaptive steering
Fri, 03 Oct 2014The Blue Oval's 'One Ford' mantra has seen rapid commonization of the automaker's products across markets, but North America still has to look from afar at most of the company's Max-branded people movers, including this new S-Max. That's a bit of a shame - we like the space efficiency and above-average driving dynamics of the C-Max models we do get, but seeing this updated seven-seat small minivan makes us want the One Ford initiative to extend even further.
The new model's changes include an updated powertrain range including a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four with 158 horsepower, and a larger, 237-horsepower, 2.0-liter model, along with a pair of revised lower-emissions 2.0-liter diesels. The big news, however, is the advent of available all-wheel drive, something that hasn't been offered since the S-Max first went on sale back in 2006.
On the technology front, the S-Max is the first European model to receive Ford Adaptive Steering, a variable-ratio technology we recently sampled in a prototype Fusion that is expected to go into production on the next-generation Edge. The S-Max also receives a new aluminum-intensive integral link rear suspension, packaged to continue to fit up to 32 different seating combinations. Safety equipment is always a prime concern in kinschleppers like the S-Max, and to that end, this new model receives pre-collision assist technology and LED headlamps.
Ford Australia goes miniature with Beachkhana 1.0 video
Tue, Mar 3 2015Ken Block's Gymkhana franchise may have started with Subaru, but it's most closely associated with Ford, which the rally star joined way back in 2010. That fruitful partnership has spawned a number of Gymkhanas, and Block even showed up to help introduce the new Focus RS. To honor this, Ford Australia has come up with an adorable parody (for lack of a better word), starring the hero Sun Block. Rather than a full-scale rally Fiesta piloted by a Vegemite-munching Aussie, though, Ford of Oz has gone tiny for its tribute. Really tiny. The product is Beachkhana 1.0 – Wild on the Beaches of Australia, is a funky little stop-motion feature using tiny, 1:43-scale cars in much the same manner as Mr. Block drives his Fiesta rally car. It even pokes some fun at Mercedes-Benz's hilarious Magic Body Control ad. Check it out.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
