This is a beautiful 1928 Ford Model A, Tudor Sedan. The car has been garage kept since restoration began 30 years ago. There is NO RUST on this car anywhere. The doors are straight, and close and open fully. Pretty much a top to bottom restoration including but not limited to: New tires, and a spare on the back, newly painted rims, new floor boards, new blue/black paint scheme, new roof, new upholstery, interior insulation installed, newly restored Zenith Carb, engine has been rebuilt and runs beautifully, no smoke at all. All lights, including brake light work. Has been updated to a hydraulic brake system which works great! All windows roll all the way down and up with no problem at all, Brand new battery as of 10/2012. Of course there are a couple dings on the fenders but nothing serious.


A few things to finish the car off: The seats have been reupholstered however the headliner, door panels, and rear panels have not yet been upholstered. The transmission shifts fine, and drives fine...but 1st gear is quite noisy, and 2nd gear is a little noisy. 3rd is as quiet as ever. Also has an "auto-lite" heater, which works very well! 

**Also - The car currently has a AA engine. This was an engine originally used just for commercial trucks. I believe it is a 30' engine. Serial is AA437217

A couple important things you need to know: The two biggest problems with the car mechanically are: The car seems to wobble, or shimmy left and right when driving more than 10 mph or so. Also the steering wheel has a bit of play. I am not sure how to fix this, but for the right person I bet it is not that difficult. I drove the car quite a bit last fall with no problems at all. This year, the problems started and therefor have not driven it much.

This is not a show car, as the paint and upholstery, as well as a few other things are not original...HOWEVER this would be a great car for someone that is mechanical and can fix the minor issues the car currently has. It is great for a drive around town. Starts every time with no problem at all!

I have described this to the best of my ability, I strongly advise you to ask any question you may have! I will get back to you ASAP. Also, please come and take it for a test drive if you are serious! Car is located about 45min west of Chicago in Wheaton, Il.

Thanks for looking!

Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.

Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.
