For Sale this original 1946 Ford 59AB Flat head V8. This is as original as it gets. Original seats, cab, motor, drive train, horn, vacuum wipers, door locks, steering column lock with key, parking brake, dimmer light and switch. Original tailgate with chains. I was the second owner of this vehicle. I have owned the truck for 43 years. This is the truck I drove when I was in college. Had a lot of beautiful girls in the original front seat as well as lounging around in the bed box. All floor boards are good as well as the floor box which is metal. Doors are clean and all work properly, no rust. Have not driven the truck for over 15 years however I put a new battery in it and it turned over and fired up. All gauges were working as well as turn signals and brake lights when driven last. It is definately a one of a kind original survivor and has not been messed with. To go with this I have a brand new set of factory equipment running boards that I purchased 40 years ago. Does not need new running boards at present but they would be nice to have. Also have a brand new bought 40 years ago left front fender. In addition I have a matching Ford 59AB flat head motor that I also have had over 40 years. Ran beautifully and has been kept in my basement. With that I have two original equipment carbureators, starter, coil, original oil bath air cleaner as well as 2 original equipment coils and wires and other odds and ends that could go with this vehicle. A lot of memories with this truck but getting older and am trying to downsize since I have quite a few other beautiful vehicles so if I get the right price I will go ahead and sell it. I haven't seen another 1946 Ford in original condition like this one in this shape anywhere. I have posted pictures of the running boards, extra engine and parts. I you have any questions email me back through e-bay or you can call me at 618-893-4343.

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue
Tue, 28 May 2013We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.
