Very Nice! Head Turning & Remarkable, w/ Multiple, Well Deserved, Top Award(s) Won! 
Vintage, 1952 Ford F - 1  Truck, Oh, if she could talk!.... this Gal has had a great life, so far! Yeah she's 61 years young, no body work other than what was done at the factory back in the day with lead, but with a very good paint job and both a rebuilt for "unleaded fuel", stock 239 CU. flat-head V-8 110 HP and the upgraded, rebuilt, mercury 3 speed manual (as mentioned w/ the solenoid overdrive), also added was/is power steering, she rides down the road a bit faster than the standard transmission that came with it back in '52, so she just purrs down the highway, (must mention that the trans mounting did require some fabricated modification),
 ( excellent workmanship! ) looks like it's meant to be the way it is.
I was honored to be allowed to drive this wonderful machine, she's just as smooth as can be, clutching to the next gear is smooth and actually so is the ride. (considering the fact that it's a truck)
(though in truth I only took her up to about 45 mph or so, in respect to the ol' gal, as well for my neighbor allowing me to drive her)!
 Wow!... so cool! They just don't make anything these days to compare! Heck the metal alone could probably make 10 cars!
Back to the details; my neighbor Jim, is only selling this beaut' so that he can surprise his long loved & wed wife, with a special anniversary present, that she would not even expect! (it's well that her heart is strong!) (kudos, to him and their marriage!) she's been stored (the truck) during the winters in the garage within a moisture guard enclosure and in the summers garaged when not being shown or driven, as can be seen in the pictures both topside and undercarriage is in great shape! with just a bit of rust under her (see photos') but all in all very clean! Rebuilt in 2002, she's seen many shows and won her many well deserved trophies!
 (Jim's a stickler when it comes to keeping all his vehicles, nicely detailed (he is meticulous!) in all areas including; maintenance of wheel bearings, hinges, ball joints, oil changes etc... you name it, it's cared for, whether needed or not!  Hardly a day goes by, that he's not performing maintenance, or polishing his car(s)(including a mint condition '55 Packard Clipper) or this truck, tires in good shape, runs great, looks great, you can't ask for more, but wait, there is more, miles?
How about less than 12,ooo + - miles since the rebuild !!!
(speedometer out for a short bit of time,...no biggie!) since she was re-built!  Plenty of high end offers over the years, but never did he consider selling until now, with their anniversary upcoming, ... (No he's not thrilled with letting her go, but, his wife takes precedence!)
(as it should be!...Donna is such a kind hearted and giving lady)    (I wish I had the $$$doe! I'd gladly pay him his very fair price!)
Please by all means... ?s' are welcome!!! ... Last, but (by far) not least, words,
... you might be able to find as nice as her, in a museum somewhere!

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.

Ford recalling 390,000 cars over door latch woes

Fri, Apr 24 2015

Ford is recalling certain Fiesta, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles due to faulty door latches, marking the latest in what seems to be a recurring issue for the Blue Oval. This is the third door latch recall from Ford in 2015, following a 213,000-unit recall in March and a 205,000-unit recall in January. This one, however, is significantly larger. A total of 390,000 units are affected, including Fusions and MKZs from model years 2013 and 2014, as well as Fiestas from model years 2012 to 2014. A "broken pawl spring tab" is the culprit, potentially keeping doors from latching shut. According to Ford, even if the door does shut, it could come open again without warning. The affected Fiestas were built between February 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013 at the Cuautitlan, Mexico factory. The Fusion and MKZ siblings, meanwhile, were screwed together at Hermosillo Assembly in Mexico between July 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. Ford is aware of three minor reports of door malfunctions. In two cases, the door bounced back open, quite literally hitting drivers on their way out. In the third case, a door swung open of its own accord while a driver was attempting to park, hitting another vehicle. Ford will notify owners, who will need to report into dealers to have all four latches replaced. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: APR 24, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FOR DOOR LATCH ISSUE ON FORD FIESTA AND FUSION, LINCOLN MKZ Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 390,000 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta and 2013-2014 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles for a door latch issue. The door latch in these vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck an adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Feb.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well.
