Hello, I'm selling my 1926 Ford Model T roadster pickup. This is a mostly unrestored original vehicle. Over the years it has been painted, rewired with a correct replacement harness and the interior redone, but the running gear, frame, and axles appear original. There are a couple of cracks in the fenders. The bed has new wood in the floor. I think the bed is actually from a 1925, which is a little longer. The engine may never have been out, and appears to have never been rebuilt. The spark plugs are Wards that look to be from the 40's. It runs and drives perfectly. It has an electric starter, as well as the hand crank. It always starts, hot or cold, and always runs as it should. The original generator and cut-out regulator work fine, and you don't have to worry about the battery. The only modifications under the hood are an added modern fuel filter, and a modern flat tube radiator. They could be easily removed if you wanted 100% original. I have the original fuel screen that fits in the tank shut-off valve, and also the original radiator, which is perfectly functional. I put in the new radiator because I live in Tucson, where it regularly gets over 100 degrees, and T's don't have a water pump. The only gauge is amps, and it works fine. The original ignition/ light switch works fine. You start the car on the battery, then switch it to magneto. It all works perfectly. The planetary transmission shifts smoothly, and it has a desireable Ruxtell two-speed rear axle. I added two tail lights and a brake light switch for safe driving. The 21" wood spoke wheels are in good shape. The tires are older, but have good tread and are matching. The non- matching spare is in good shape and mounted on a rare original running board mount. It runs down the road at 40-45 MPH, and stops fine for a Model T. They are not at all like a newer car, but it is very driveable anywhere and any time if you know how to drive it. The throttle and spark advance are on the column, and the three pedals on the floor are 1st/ high gear, reverse, and brake. Look up driving a T on youtube for a lesson. It needs nothing, has recently been lubed and serviced, and is ready to go anywhere. The 6 volt battery is good. Please ask any questions before you bid. It is sold in as-is, where-is condition. I will drive it on to a transport, and give the driver a short lesson on moving it if you would like.

2020 Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair ace crash tests, earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS
Fri, Nov 15 2019The redesigned 2020 Ford Escape and its platform-mate, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair, have both just completed their bout of crash tests at the hands of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and while they did not emerge unscathed, they did come away with the agency's Top Safety Pick Award. One caveat: The rating only applies to the Escape equipped with the available LED headlights, which were deemed Acceptable. Similarly, the Corsair needs the available curve-adaptive LED headlights, also rated Acceptable, in order to achieve Top Safety Pick. The Escape's standard halogen headlights scored only a Marginal rating, while the Corsair's base LED headlights were deemed Poor due to glare. Those low headlight ratings knock the vehicles out of contention for Top Safety Pick. Had either vehicle offered headlights able to achieve a Good rating, that would have been enough to get them the agency's Top Safety Pick+ rating. Outside of their headlights, the 2020 Escape and Corsair acquitted themselves well. The Escape saw a big improvement in the difficult small-overlap front crash test, going from a Poor result in the previous generation to Good with the new one. The Corsair performed identically, and both achieved Good ratings in all six crash tests. The IIHS also tests automatic emergency-braking systems, and the standard and optional systems in the Escape and the Corsair both earned Superior ratings.
Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.
