I purchased VIN 99T456622 1936 COMMERCIAL in June, 2002 from a very old guy named Bob Stark in the San Fernando Valley. The town name is Receda which is a suburb of Los Angeles.

The truck frame, fenders, bed, glass, etc was in quite bad shape. The front right cab corner was caved in, but other than that the cab, doors, and hood sides looked pretty darn good. Almost every part on the old Ford pickups is available from an assortment of reproduction parts houses. One of the things other than the styling of the ‘35 and ‘36 Ford pickups that keeps the desire and price up is that the cabs, doors, and hood sides are not available from reproduction sources. The 1936 Ford pickup was the last production year for the “heart” shaped grill. 1935 was the last car. The parts house that I used was MAC’s Antique Auto Parts in Lockport, NY.

Bob told me that in 1933 the California Legislature passed the Central Valley Act which would bring water to the Central Valley and to the Bay Area. But in the midst of the Great Depression, revenue bonds were unmarketable so no funding could be found to begin construction of the Central Valley Project. The federal government took over the CVP as a public works project to provide jobs and its construction began in 1935. Bob said that the ‘36 pickup was part of the original fleet purchased for use to build the CVP. This bit of history, and that the pickup had never left the Central Valley in all of that time, and of course the final agreed upon price was the beginnings of the resto-rod that I would build in California style. Resto-rod is a term given to a street rod where the vehicle resembles the original stance. In this case, the body is as original. The solid steel wheels resemble the 1950’s street rod. The uncut body sits about 5 inches lower than the original pickup did with high wire wheels and linkage brakes.

The ’36 is used on a regular basis. It has never been used as a daily driver, but that is how it was built. The project was finished in 2003 and currently has 4,700 miles on. It comes with a photo build book, all of the build receipts, and a quality dust cover. The complete pickup weighs in at about 2,200 pounds. With 330 horse power that is less than 7 pounds per horse power.

The ’36 is nicely built. It is dependable and useful. It hauls ass. I am very proud of it. Circumstances force sale.

Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.

J Mays' legacy

Fri, 15 Nov 2013



Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".

Hot-selling Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator get production boost

Mon, Feb 12 2018

Ford is investing an additional $25 million in its Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville to increase by 25 percent production of the hot-selling and all-new Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition SUVs. The investment adds to $900 million in previously announced spending at the plant, which also builds F-Series Super-Duty pickups and employs 8,400 workers. Assembly-line workers are putting in overtime and working voluntary weekend shifts to keep up with demand. The new investment will cover upgrades to the assembly line but does not involve further hiring, Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker says. The popularity of the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator is a bright spot as Ford stock has been battered by Wall Street amid concerns concerns about the automaker's future vision and slowness to detect trends. Ford says the investment is an example of its bid to improve "operational fitness," one of CEO Jim Hackett's common refrains. Ford says Navigator retail sales more than doubled in January, and Navigators are spending an average of just seven days on Lincoln dealership lots as customers trade in vehicles including Land Rovers and Mercedes-Benz. Nearly 85 percent of buyers are opting for high-end Black Label and Reserve trim packages, contributing to an average transaction price increase of more than $21,000 in January compared to a year ago. The 2018 Navigator won the North American Truck of the Year award and also topped a Detroit News poll of public favorites at last month's Detroit Auto Show. Sales of the Expedition, meanwhile, were up almost 57 percent last month as the full-size SUVs also spent an average of just a week on dealer lots. Platinum trim models represented 29 percent of sales, pushing transaction price increases up $7,800. Ford gave the 2018 Expedition an all-aluminum body to save mass in its first significant redesign since 2007. The plant last year got nearly 400 new robots, mainly in the body shop, to help increase line speed, and Ford added a robot lab where employees can test software tweaks or troubleshoot issues away from the factory floor. The Louisville plant also benefits from extensive new data analytics, with seven big-screen monitors providing minute-by-minute updates showing progress against hourly targets or alerting workers to pending parts shortages. A huge spare-parts "vending machine" lets workers more quickly locate needed parts and keep inventory at necessary levels.
