This speedster is a genuine 1925 Ames-bodied Ford.
The F.A. Ames Company of Owensboro, Kentucky produced this very popular Model 815 Racer Body from 1915-1925 as a replacement body for the Model T Ford of the day that was "a favorite with red-blooded men- the young men who set the pace in every community- the young men who like snap, style and speed." It was ordered with the optional Double Panel Windshield and Water-tight Trunk. True to the spirit of its purpose, this speedster is not just another delicate, cute little Ford speedster. There are plenty of those for sale out there if you want a namby-pamby parade car so you can putt around the block and wave at the neighbors. But as you consider the following list of equipment, it will be very apparent to the discerning speedster fan that this thing is as they would have said in the early days of motoring, "a real Scorcher!" If driving this car doesn't put a smile on your face, I suggest that you should probably check to see if you have a pulse! Check out these features: 1) Real 1925 Ames-Bodied Speedster 2) Ruckstel Rear Axle (Smooth as Silk) 3) Wire Wheels and Stylish Mounted Spare 4) Steering Box for positive control 5) Heavy Duty Radius Rods 6) Fronty 2-Spark, 2- Carburetor Model S-R Racing Head (For Racing Cars Only) 7) Dual Winfield Model SR Carburetors 8) Bosch Dual Spark ZU4 Magneto W/Impulse 9) Townsend Alumimum Oil Pan W/Aluminum Engine Side Covers 10) Jahns Alumimum Racing Pistons 11) Side Drive Aluminum Water Pump 12) Racing Header & Exhaust 13) Pressurized Fuel System 14) Electric Starter 15) 12 Volt Electrical System W/Alternator 16) 5 Tube Radiator 17) High Volume External Oil Supply Line 18) Connecting Rod Oil Dippers When the Chevrolet brothers introduced the Fronty Model R Cylinder Head in 1921, it absolutely astonished the racing world by its performance and dependability, winning practically every race it entered, including races at Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne, South Bend, Chicago, Graham, Texas and Ventura, Calif. Qualifying in the 1923 Indy 500 at 86.92 MPH and defeating all the foreign entries such as Mercedes, Bugatti, etc. and many of the American entries, it demonstrated what a Ford car can really do when equipped with the Fronty head. The racing community of the day took notice. The Model S-R 2-spark plug 2-carburetor head configuration like this speedster sports was brought out to "meet a demand of the fastest drivers for something faster than the regular Model R." With its dual Winfield Carbs and dual spark Mag, what a combination! So here it is, the one you've been searching for all these years. How long would it take to locate correct period parts and assemble such a car? This is not a bunch of reproduction stuff made to look pretty. What we have here is the genuine article!

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.
