Up for bids is this 1939 ford truck. This is a very unusual not often seen truck. Most of these are gone by the way side. The few that are left are either rusted to the ground, fixed up into high dollar trucks, or have already been made into rat rods. The way this one sits you could do basically what ever you wanted to do with it. It could be restored into a show truck, rat rod, street rod, hot rod, or just a simple driver so its an open book on this one. I got the truck from another gentleman who had it sitting in his warehouse for around 20 years. He got it from another couple who had it sitting in there barn for 25-30 years previous to that so its been off the road and in storage for around 40-50 years. I guess thats why it is still here today. otherwise it would of probably been rusting away. The body is really pretty solid. It has several dents and dings but over all the main structure is solid. The frame, cab, doors, running boards, bed, hood, fenders are all pretty solid. The body is pretty complete except for the tailgate. The motor and transmission is gone. I guess it was a flat head V8 originally. It will steer and roll. The doors will need some adjusting to shut correctly. The hinges are stiff and need to be alligned some more. When I got this truck it was pretty much dissasembled. I guess this was going to be someones project along time ago and it never took place. I would love to see someone get this and make something out of it. You see alot of the run of the mill cars but not to many 30's model trucks left out there. I took pics of everything that goes with it. I have the windshield frame, some interior pieces, and a few other pieces. I have a clear title to it. If you have questions or need more info just let me know. I will require full payment within seven days of the end of auction. If you need more information and would like to talk to me give me a call at 318-278-1069.

Production Ford Escort heading for Beijing

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Ford's long-dormant Escort nameplate returned affixed to a sedan concept at last year's Shanghai Motor Show. While not exactly a beauty, it showed a clean, straightforward take on Ford's current styling. The Blue Oval said at the time that it wanted to create a model that was stylish "but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Job done. A year later, it looks like the minimalist vehicle might make its production debut at the Beijing Motor Show.
Autocar claims that the streetgoing version has been confirmed to it for the upcoming show, but so far, Ford isn't saying. If unveiled, the Escort is likely to be produced locally for the Chinese market with a domestic partner. Powertrain details remain a secret, but it seems highly likely that any production model would use a small three- or four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. Sales in other major world markets like ours are unlikely, but a test car was recently spotted in Europe.
Autoblog contacted Ford for confirmation, but the automaker demurred, with a spokesperson saying only, "At the moment, we are not confirming any vehicles planned for the show." It looks like we will have to wait to know for sure.

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.

Inside Ford's high-tech climate chamber

Sat, Dec 27 2014

There are two ways an automaker can test its vehicles in extreme climates: it can send said vehicle around the world – from Death Valley to the Arctic Circle – in search of the harshest weather, or it can recreate those conditions in an enclosed environment. We're sure that many automakers undertake some combination of both, but in this latest video clip, Ford shows us around inside it's state-of-the-art climate chamber. At its Driveability Test Facility in Allen Park, MI – inaugurated in 2010 just across the street from the Roush Technology Center – Ford can simulate all sorts of extreme conditions. It can drop the temperature down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit or raise it up to 130, and take it up to a simulated 12,000 feet above sea level or drop it down to 280 feet below. blast it with 150-mile-per-hour winds. It can control the level of humidity, approximate the intensity of the sun and even blast the test vehicle with artificial snow, just like your favorite ski resort. The facility strikes us as an engineering feat as impressive as some of the vehicles it's used to test, but don't take our word for it – scope it out for yourself in this brief two-minute video clip, which even includes some helpful tips for winter driving this holiday season and beyond.
