Up for auction is this nice little Model A Coupe with a rumble seat. It has an older paint job & restoration that looks to be about 10-15 years ago.  The paint is pretty nice, good for parades but not show winning quality.  It has some  extras like a radiator stone guard, moto-meter heat gauge, luggage rack on the back and a very expensive overdrive built in to the drive shaft giving the car 7-9 MPH higher top end speed.(see pics) ($1200.00 to install) Engine rebuilt during restroation.  Engine starts easily every time, with no smoking at any time. It runs nice & cool.  It is very peppy and cruises nice with the over-drive! It has never left me stranded & is very dependable.Tires are in nice shape with no need to replace.  The top is nice with no leaks.  The interior has been redone in green vinyl, clean with no rips or tears.  The rumble seat is also in nice shape and fun for the grandkids to ride back there! The bumpers are in decent shape.  The doors open and close nicely as does the hood and trunk.  The glass is all good.  The lights and gauges work and the horn blows.  The cowle lights need new bulbs.  It has dual taillights for better safety after dark.  There are vacuum type wipers, but not positive if they work. Again, not a show car, however a nice daily driver.  It runs, drives, and stops just great. Dependable in good shape as a parade car or advertising piece.  Always gets a thumbs up & smiles when out cruising.  Complete with the rumble seat for the kids.  The reserve is below $9K so it is affordable.  The mileage is not known. The car is currently in a garage and can remain there till spring to allow for transportation.   Please contact me to ask questions & further discuss this car prior to the end of the auction. I think you will enjoy driving this little Ford coupe.  Good luck and bid with confidence.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
Scroll down for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.

Ford books $2.6B pretax quarterly profit

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

While its crosstown competitors at General Motors are smarting over a drastic drop in net income to $200 million in the second quarter, Ford has reason to celebrate. The Blue Oval has announced its own Q2 financial results, including a growing net income of $1.3 billion, a $78 million increase over last year. Pretax profits for the company reached $2.6 billion, up $44 million from 2013, but total revenue dropped slightly to $37.4 billion, down from $37.9 billion. Profits per share before one-time charges totaled 40 cents per share, beating Wall Street analysts' expectations of 36 cents a share.
Regionally, the Blue Oval performed strongly, as well. North America posted a record quarterly pre-tax profit of $2.4 billion, a $119 million increase. Europe also showed signs of turn around with its first profit in three years of $14 million after a loss of $306 million in Q2 2013. Ford is actually predicting profitability in the troubled region in 2015. Asia Pacific operations also performed well with $159 million in profits, up $29 million from last year. The only region where the business posted a loss was South America.
According to Automotive News, Ford also announced more precise plans about the changeover to build the aluminum-intensive 2015 F-150. In August, the Dearborn plant will shutdown for eight weeks to retool and its Kansas City plant will do the same next year.
