This beautiful 1929 Right Hand Drive Ford Model A RS Roadster was built new at the Ford plant in Argentina. Ford began producing cars in South America around 1925 and it is my understanding that most of the cars built there were Phaeton's and it is rare to see a Right Hand Drive Roadster, especially one that retains so much of it's original parts. Many of the mechanical parts including the oil breather cap, bell housing, intake manifold, generator, crank pulley, along with many of the internal parts are stamped Industria, Argentina. Even the timing gear which I changed was stamped Argentina. The original water pump was an enclosed pump and comes with the car. The tires are 450 21" Good Year, also stamped Industria, Argentina and in overall good condition for the age. The running boards on the car are the early Brazilian Walnut running boards and in exceptional condition. Even the rear axle housings are the correct South American cast style. The rear bumper clamps are the original cast with the Ford script in them. The front ones are also the correct original cast with no script.The interior of the car appears to be the original leather and in great shape for the age. The car is in overall beautiful condition and runs smooth and strong. 

The car was brought to the United States, (Texas) back in the early 1980's. A title was issued for it in Texas with the VIN number listed above. The original Ford VIN number is still visible on the block and is *AF2763598* The car was serviced at that time and repainted. The top was probably replaced at that time also. There is an original Texas inspection sticker from 1987 still on the windshield. A gentleman from New York bought the car and it was part of his private collection for many years. I purchased the car from him a little over 5 years ago.

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.
