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.

Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford

Thu, 22 May 2014

It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.

For thousands of US auto workers, the downturn is already here

Thu, Jun 22 2017

LORDSTOWN, Ohio - Wall Street is fretting that the auto industry is heading for a downturn, but for thousands of workers at General Motors factories in the United States, the hard times are already here. Matt Streb, 36, was one of 1,200 workers laid off on Jan. 20 - inauguration day for President Donald Trump - when GM canceled the third shift at its Lordstown small-car factory here. Sales of the Chevrolet Cruze sedan, the only vehicle the plant makes, have nosedived as consumers switch to SUVs and pickup trucks. Streb is looking for another job, but employers are wary because they assume he will quit whenever GM calls him back. "I get it," said Streb, who has a degree in communications, "but it's frustrating." Layoffs at Lordstown and other auto plants point to a broader challenge for the economy in Midwestern manufacturing states and for the Trump administration. "This is about economics, not what Trump says. Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." The auto industry's boom from 2010 through last year was a major driver for manufacturing job creation. The fading of that boom threatens prospects for US industrial output and job creation that were central to Trump's victory in Ohio and other manufacturing states. "This is about economics, not what Trump says," said Robert Morales, president of United Auto Workers (UAW) union Local 1714, which represents workers at GM's stamping plant at Lordstown. "Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." Last week the Federal Reserve said factory output fell 0.4 percent in May, the second decline in three months, due partly to a 2 percent drop in motor vehicles and parts production. Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has compiled data from government sources that show the auto industry punching higher than its weight in job creation in recent years - accounting for between 60 percent and 80 percent of all US manufacturing jobs added in 2015 and 2016. In the first quarter of this year, the auto industry accounted for less than 2 percent of the 45,000 manufacturing jobs created. "There's no argument with the idea that auto has been pulling the manufacturing sled up the mountain for the last three or four years," Muro said.

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
