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.

First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
