Fresh Off Restore 1916 Brass Era Model T Truck Numbers Matching Car Block Also!! on 2040-cars
Algoma, Wisconsin, United States
For sale is my 1916 Brass Era Model T, fresh off a great
restore. This car is a great numbers matching car with not only
number matching but proof of this in the block date as well. Car started out in the early days as a roadster with a
farmer transforming it into a truck in the 30’s.
Story from the old gentleman I purchased it from is that in
the war area they were given gas rations in the order of 5 gallons if you had a car, 10 gallons if you were a
service member and 15 gallons if you were a Farmer and owned a truck.
This was the whole reason for purchasing the truck body from
the Cabinet co. from Des Plaines Illinois.
The number of the unit on a brass tag still on the bed of
the truck is number 167, a very early number as over 50,000 of these units were sold.
I purchased a brand new brass works radiator for this year
and no water pump is even needed In the warmest of summer days. I also put a battery box under it for starting power,
running the horns and street legal electric taillights in the oil lamps.
All 4 oil lamps are functional as oil lamps with just added wires and
reflectors and bulbs for street legal operation. Car runs best on magneto as there is no starter or
generator. Car starts easy on 1 or 2 cranks cold and less than that
warm. Headlights and one of the horns run on the magneto
also. Anyway, this is a great truck and has been completely
restored to the shape it was in at that time.
All metal fenders etc. and all wood stripped down, resealed
and varnished. Original Wood wheels were also taken down and sealed and
varnished also. This is a true find and would be a proud addition to any
person’s collection. I have entered this is many shows and always wins first in class and one best of show. Trophies do not go with the truck, Sorry. Since taking the photos I have added a drivers side rear oil lamp so both sides are matching in the back. Both oil lamps are functional but also have light lenses inside for a brake light & can easily be removed if you so choose. Also since pictures added a Ford Script for the back tailgate. Both are shown in the last photo. If needed, I can deliver for $1.50 per mile in an enclosed
trailer. Maximum 500 miles round trip. |

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
