Museum Car: 1928 Ford Model A Rumbleseat Roadster

Ford released the Model A in a time where all of the working class was in search of a very reliable mode of transportation to get to and from work. Recognizing the opportunities that were there Henry Ford created the Model A to accommodate their needs. He created, in my opinion, the easiest car in the world to maintain, find parts for, self-service, and customize. When people noticed these features bundled into one fine automobile they jumped in and increased the demand for Ford to produce these cars. At the time that The Model A came out the car was a fairly new piece of machinery to the world and to people’s garages. The world had not yet invented businesses such as quick lube that had the means to help you with the maintenance and repair work of your car. No, Ford sent all of his cars home from the factory with a service manual and made it possible for the individual owner to create a bond with their car that would impact history to an immeasurable degree. Out of this spawned race cars, gear heads, motor specialists, and car enthusiasts that make up this wonderful, community based, hobby of cars.

This example of Ford’s 1928 Model A has been in a humidity controlled museum of convertibles for the last several years. It is a solid car with a good drive train and hydraulic brakes. This is a good car with a strong engine. The paint is in fairly good condition; however it is cracking in places. We have enjoyed owning this car. The wind deflectors that attach to the windshield are in the trunk because one of the brackets needs replaced. Furthermore, this car is not offered with a top. We purchased this car without the top. It is such a fun Sunday driver that we have never wanted a top on the car, as we do not get this car out in the rain. The only thing that a new owner would want to do to make this car roadworthy would be rebuilding the starter.

Before I list anything on eBay I like to get it out on the road and test it to insure that nobody will be paying for buyers remorse. This car has been on the road several times throughout our ownership, but when I went to start this car and get it out of the museum the starter seemed extremely weak. I cranked it the first time and it was struggling to turn the engine over right towards the end the engine made the noise like it was getting ready to fire. I turned the key off and pumped the gas again and adjusted the choke. When I turned the key again all was silent. There was no clicking, pecking or grinding noise. It was simply working one time and not the next. When I was trying to start it I knew that it had a weak starter and tried my best to be extra careful not to mess it up, however there is not much a person can do to be easy on a starter other than avoiding holding the key in the start position for an extended amount of time. I am the one that got the last crank out of this starter. If this car finds new ownership, I will see to it that there is a new battery installed. I can possibly lend some assistance with the started. The best thing about Ford’s Model A is that parts can be found easily for them. All cars have their own personalities; I believe that, all quirks aside, ownership of this car will be pleasurable for whoever it may be. It would be my pleasure to show the car in person. If you would like to see the car in person, or would like more information or pictures, I encourage you to contact me by phone, text, or Email. I will consider any offers that are made. Thank you for your interest in this fine automobile.

Ford celebrates 1 millionth Mustang built at Flat Rock

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Yesterday, the Ford Mustang turned 49 years old, and Ford didn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the one millionth version of the Mustang rolling off the assembly line at the Flat Rock Assembly plant. Production of the Mustang at Flat Rock coincided with the fifth-generation design launching in 2004, and the one millionth car was the car shown above, a 2014 GT convertible painted in Ruby Red.
In total, Ford has sold more than 8.5 million Mustangs since the original car went on sale, but some of the key milestones over the car's nine years at Flat Rock include the Shelby GT-H, Bullitt, Boss 302 and, of course, the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500. Scroll down for a press release celebrating Flat Rock's milestone Mustang.

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.

8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. Â– Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip Â– let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives Â– you can use more of the car more of the time.
