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.

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs
Sat, 14 Jun 2014He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
Ford decides C-Max shoppers not interested in fuel economy
Sat, Oct 25 2014If you say a car – the Ford C-Max Hybrid, for example – is "fun to drive," can anyone really come up with some empirical evidence against your claim? What about calling it "versatile"? We wonder if Ford has been thinking along these lines when it talks about the green little hatch. Ford is refocusing its sales strategy for the C-Max Hybrid after the model took a sales hit on both sides of the Atlantic recently, Automotive News reports. That sales dropoff may stem from the fact that Ford has had to revise its fuel-economy figures downward for the C-Max twice since last year, most recently in June. That made the company's once-proud fuel-economy comparisons with the Toyota Prius kind of pointless. Ford is going a different route, calling the model versatile (which, to be fair it was also doing a year ago), technologically advanced and fun to drive. Since the C-Max has about 50 more horsepower than the Prius, that last part may be true. Ford representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the mpg-mention-free advertising direction, but we will update this post if we hear back. Sales of the C-Max Hybrid have suffered in the US. Through September, Ford sold 15,245 C-Max Hybrids, down 36 percent from last year. We shall see if a new focus away from the car's lowered mpg numbers helps. At least Ford can be pleased with sales of the C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid, which are up 51 percent compared to 2013.
Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft
Tue, 07 Jan 2014In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.
