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

Ford Australia pulls the ol' talking car prank

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Siri from Apple has proven that being able to talk to your technology doesn't always work perfectly. But what if it could eventually go far enough to give a personality to inanimate objects like our cars? Ford took just this path to comedic effect by playing a prank on many unsuspecting Australians, in a new commercial for its EcoSport compact crossover.
The Aussies seem very nonchalant about having a random parked car talk to them, and they seem surprisingly game when it asks them to get in, call a celebrity and tell a joke. (We're guessing there are some hilarious outtakes, too.) Scroll down to watch some folks from Down Under have a conversation with Ford's CUV.

Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
