1930 Ford Model A Chopped 5 Window Coupe with a four-inch chopped top and a rumble seat.  All the hard work has been very nicely done.  Brand new Model A boxed frame that was made for a Model A.  It has a new nine-inch Ford Rear End with new axles less center section, but has brand new coil over shocks and a four-bar rear end.  See pictures.  This car was a running, driving Henry Ford Model A in 2006.  Then the gentleman I bought it from decided to give it some updates.  He bought the brand new frame, chopped the top, did all the metal work to the car including all new floors and fire wall.  You are welcome to come see the car before the end of the sale.  I am in Des Moines, Iowa  50321.  Just give me a call at 515-250-9293.  The body on this car is very, very nice and straight as you can see in the pictures.  The top has been filled in, the doors open and close very nice.  The top needs finish welding.  The body is bolted to the frame.  I have most of the garnish moldings including windshield and frame, but they need to be chopped down.  Very nice original seat.  You can see all this in the pictures.  This car has a brand new Super Bell Speedway four-inch dropped front suspension that has eleven-inch brakes and the I-Beam has been drilled.  The four bars in the front need extended a few inches, but this front end is brand new in 2014.  It also has a 1932 Ford metal dash.  New Vega Steering box.  Really nice tires and rims to give it that nostalgia look.  This car has been mocked up only for Chevy motor and tranny that do not go with the car.  After the car is paid in full I can possibly deliver for an agreed upon price on a weekend.  As I said before I am in Des Moines, Iowa  50321.  So please give me a call any time at 515-250-9293.  Thank you.

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.

Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
