This replica of a 1929 Model A Ford was built by Shay. Shay was a the only company ever authorized by Ford to build a fiberglass replica of their Model A. They were actually sold in Ford Showrooms in the 80’s and warranted by Ford. Car is titled in TN as a 1980 Ford Shay. Upper body is Royal Blue in color with the fenders and running boards in black. The spoke wheels are painted in a light baby yellow. Interior is black in color. Also has some pin striping in dark Gold Chrome shines up nicely. This Shay is equipped with the automatic transmission, that is a rare option requested by buyers and is a great convinces. Only 200 of these were made. It has disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, and a lot of other options that make this Shay a lot more reliable than the originals Model A’s from 1929. This car actually starts up faster than my or my wife’s new cars. This roadster has 70,000 original miles. It starts every time, runs perfectly, and puts a smile on everyone’s face that sees it, especially the little kids. Please view all of my pictures below and let me know if you have any questions.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
