 An argument can be made that the Ford AV8 was the first true hot rod.  Emulating the Lakes and street racers of the late 30s and early 40s,
 this little roadster definitely fits the bill.  True to its tradition, it was recently honored with the Joe Mac Memorial Award at the annual
 Antique Nationals in Pomona, CA.

 Motivation comes from a fully-balanced, ported, polished, and relieved 1946 59a flathead; 0.060" over with a Merc crank for 266 cu. in.  
 Timing is handled by a rare and potent Iskenderian 1007 LD (long duration) Track Grind camshaft, the "Impacter".  Fuel and air are
 churned by an original pair of 97s and delivered to a rare and original Edelbrock Block Letter manifold.  Firing the mix is a Kurten dual-coil, 
 dual-point ignition with original Ford coils converted to 12v.  Containing the explosive gasses, is an ultra-rare set of original Edelbrock
 Block Letter heads.  Spent fuel exits through custom-made headers and a pair of Smithy's.  Cooling the motor is an original Deuce
 radiator rebuilt by the Brassworks, Paso Robles, CA.

 Rowing the gears is a '39 Ford box delivering torque to a very rare Culver City Model A quick change (final gear:  3.46), both assembled 
 by Nick and Ken Smith at Hot Rod Works, Caldwell, ID.

 The gennie Ford chassis was TIG welded for strength with further mods made by Derek Bower to improve rigidity.  A modified Ford F1 
 crossmember and Heim-jointed pedal assembly make for smooth braking and shifting.  Steering is by a rebuilt F1 steering box with
 NOS sector shaft and worm gear and original Deuce pitman arm.

 Handling the front suspension chores is an original Deuce 4" dropped axle, spindles, wishbone, and spring; rebuilt courtesy of Jay and Joe
 Kennedy at the Bomb Factory, Pomona, CA.  Pete and Jake shocks finish the package.

 Slowing things down are rebuilt '47 Ford hydraulic brakes with '40 backing plates.

 Rolling stock comes from '39 Ford wide-five hubs and wheels, 16 x 4" front and 16 x 5" rear, wrapped in Firestone 5.50 ribs and 7.50 bias-belts.
 NOS '39 Ford standard caps and '40 trim rings complete the look. 

 Monitoring the motor are rare, curved glass Stewart-Warner gauges:  3 & 1/2" mechanical tach with complete S-W brass-arm tach drive, 2 & 5/8"
 oil pressure and water temp gauges.  Completing the interior is a cut-down Glide seat with ultra-cool vintage Beechcraft airplane seat belts.

 The body is original Ford steel in PPG black base/clear coat with original Ford Deuce grill shell and insert.  NOS B-L-C 682-J headlamps with 
 Halogen conversion.  Final detailing by Bill Larzelere, Burbanl, CA and Joe Kennedy.  Chrome and nickel plating by Christensen Plating,
 Vernon, CA.
 
 A $2000, non-refundable deposit is due within 3 days at end of auction.  Total payment is due within 14 days (PayPal, cash,
 Cashier's Check).  Successful bidder is responsible for shipping.

 For any questions, feel free to call me @ 213 703 3638.  Thanks, mike.

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
