1929
Ford Roadster Nostalgia Hot Rod No “replica” in
fiberglass or metal. It’s the real deal. Looks like a ’32 because of the frame
and grille (which are ’32 REAL DEAL). A lot of newer street rodders don't
appreciate the vintage ‘29 Ford as much as their 32's but this one is sure to
give them a run for their money. It combines the two looks into one cool
machine. The BIG difference…you can get this one for a fraction of the price! A
lot of the street rods around nowadays are new-age fiberglass but this one is
an ALL STEEL Henry Ford body. It was
created and rolled out of the factory 85 years ago! The fact that it is still
around and laser straight is absolutely amazing! The 1929 Ford body is nicely
mounted to the 32' Ford frame giving it some extra length for the chrome
spreader bar. The front end looks even more like a 32' with the addition of the
32' steel grill shell. The chrome grill has a great shine along with the Ford
logo and trim. The body, frame, and grill shell are all coated in bright yellow
and buffed out to a great shine. Pin striping by the legendary Larry West who
designed the Coors graphic on Bill Elliott’s NASCAR T-Birds. When we say this
is a nostalgic, old-school hot rod we should probably explain what we mean.
It's not that this car was done in the style recently. No. This style
actually started the trend in the late 50s and early ‘60s! Being built in the
late 50's this is what people are after when they are currently building
"old school" rods. The car was later restored in 2000, refreshed in
2013. Large chrome front headlights and circle frenched purple-dot taillights.
The trunk is louvered. In true nostalgia style the car rolls around on American
Racing Torque Thrust D wheels with white wall tires (all with fewer than 300
miles). And the only modern update for safety sake…4-wheel disc brakes that
were added last year. The mechanical details” 1956 CHEVROLET

REAR END Engine was torn-down
and rebuilt by TDS in Covington (Travis Domini, who has built 4 motors for me,
both for street and strip. I swear by him.) replacing what needed to be
replaced. Runs GREAT! Less than 300 miles since rebuild. The interior of the
car is nicely finished with black bucket seats. The dash is topped with Stewart
Warner wing gauges mounted in a nice brushed bezel. On the floorboard is
mounted the Lokar shifter. An aftermarket steering wheel is nicely mounted in
place. Oh yes, an ooogha horn. To the
column a tachometer has been added and works just as it should. All of the
rubbers have been replaced on the car when it was entirely gone through. So, what’s wrong
with it? A minor sign of wear on the left rear upholstery panel (see pic). The
speedometer is not accurate. There is a gizmo to correct that but I have never
bothered with it. Parking brake is not working. It is the drive shaft parking
brake variety. This is NOT a
show car. It is a fun, nostalgia hot rod meant to be driven, envied and enjoyed. Cars of this age are not titled in
Georgia. It does have a Texas title. Bob 404-210-7753 |

VW walks away from Aurora after self-driving startup partners with FCA
Wed, Jun 12 2019BERLIN — Volkswagen has ended its partnership with self-driving car software firm Aurora, two days after the Silicon Valley start-up said it would build autonomous platforms for commercial vehicles with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. "The activities under our partnership have been concluded," a VW spokesman said in a statement on Tuesday following an earlier Financial Times report on the move which said VW now wanted to work with Ford Motor Co on autonomous driving. Ford's majority-owned subsidiary Argo AI is building an automated "driver" that could compete with Aurora's technology. Aurora said Tuesday "Volkswagen Group has been a wonderful partner to Aurora since the early days of development of the Aurora Driver." The company's statement added that it continues to work "with a growing array of partners." The autonomous vehicle industry is still in its infancy, and alliances and strategies are fluid. Aurora has sought to remain independent and serve a number of would-be autonomous vehicle makers rather than be acquired. Aurora, which said in February it had raised $530 million in new funding, also has partnerships with Hyundai Motor Co and China's Byton to develop and test self-driving systems for automakers, fleet owners and others. After announcing its partnership with Aurora in early 2018, VW last June began discussions with Ford to develop a range of commercial vehicles, later extending the discussions to include electric vehicles and Argo's autonomous driving technology as part of an alliance designed to save billions in costs. VW and Ford have not announced partnerships involving electric or autonomous vehicle technology. Green Chrysler Fiat Ford Volkswagen Technology Emerging Technologies Autonomous Vehicles
SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building
Wed, 31 Oct 2012After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
