1951 Ford F-1 Five Star Extra Cab package. This 51927 mile scarce Five Star Extra cab package has been given the attention it deserves. It has been treated to a complete ground up no expense spared restoration. It took a year and a half to bring it back better than the day it hit the showroom floor. Attention to detail is what sets this truck apart and you will not be disappointed! This truck sat in heated storage for 20 plus years and it shows in that the body was incredibly rust free- see photos/video. The low mileage was evident when it came apart in the amount of original untouched/original equipment parts. Every bit of this truck was stripped down and brought back up with attention to original factory details. The body was completely stripped and has been restored to its original color as well as Five Star Extra Cab package interior colors. A accent color tweak really sets off this original Meadow Green color as well as setting it apart from the rest. The 239 CID flathead V-8 was completely gone through, fresh valve job and guides and magnafluxed with a clean bill of health. The 3 speed transmission and rear axle have been freshened up and treated to new seals as well as a new clutch. We wanted to make sure this truck lasts well beyond our days and the inside of cab and underside of fenders were treated with bedliner as well as a full powdercoat treatment to the frame. All chrome and stainless has been restored. fresh glass all around. The Five Star Extra Cab package included a good many things a normal Five Star Cab would not have....stainless windshield trim, dual visors, upgraded interior trim, driver and passenger locks, dual horns, dome light with door switches, upgraded heater, full door and kick panels....the list goes on and was ordered complete less the radio. 6 volt electrical system completely gone through and restored with brand new cloth wiring throughout with an addition of turn signals/4 way flashers. Generator refurbished, regulator replaced and lead acid battery replaced with 6v Optima to ensure battery tray stays good as new. The bed is breathtaking...oak hardwood replaced and treated. Original hard to find bumpers restored. The original 16" wheels were powder coated and wrapped BFGoodrich wide white rubber with fresh tubes as well as new trim rings/caps. The list goes on and a collector will truly appreciate the attention to detail as well as the fit and finish of this truck.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
Ford F-150 Tremor to pace NASCAR Truck Series this weekend
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ford's bro-tastic F-150 Tremor will be pacing this weekend's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway. The Tremor fills a gap in the Ford F-Series lineup that we imagine the NASCAR set have clamored for - a hot-rod pickup truck.
Where the F-150 Raptor is designed to go quick on anything, the Tremor and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 are designed to tackle the road. The 365-horsepower and 420-pound-foot EcoBoost is unchanged from the rest of the F-150 line, but it combines the shortest drive ratio with the lightest two-door body, making it a bit of hot rod.
Ford will be offering hot laps with Michigan native Brad Keselowski behind the wheel of the Tremor for fans that arrive in the Irish Hills on August 14. The main showing for the new pickup will be the August 17 race, though, when it'll lead the field at the start of the race and through cautions.
Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown
Sun, 18 May 2014A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
