1930 Ford Model A Coupe, California Car, Solid, Virtually Rust Free on 2040-cars
Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, United States
|
Up for auction is a very solid running, driving Model A Coupe fresh from sunny and dry California and ready for any purpose you might want it for. I bought this car from a fellow who bought it in Bellflower, CA in 1963 and who has owned it ever since. Two years ago he moved to Kansas City, MO to be closer to his daughter and brought the car along and put it in a mini-storage complex. He has reached the point now where he is going to "officially" retire in Arizona and decided to sell his trusty old coupe. In my opinion the car looks just as it should. It is pretty much all original with a real nice non-original interior that looks to have been installed long ago, but still is in nice shape. It fires up, runs, steers, and brakes as it should. It could use new tires, but they are fine for a town cruiser. It has after market brake drum cooling fins which were a pretty cool oil accessory from back in the day. Going over the car with a magnet and visual observation the only rust I could find was in the very front of the reveal on the passenger door, and a bit on the lower front cowl. (see pictures) The floor pans, trunk pans and frame are excellent. It looks to have had all new side glass installed at some point, but the windshield looks original and has some fogging along the bottom. The main body portion is pretty nice and straight with a few bumps and bruises but all and all pretty nice. The fender for the most part look presentable but have some repairs in the beads. They are totally workable. The radiator and grille surround are nice, along with the headlights which have sealed beam conversions. I have the original "pink slip" title from California in hand. That's about all I can think of. If you think of anything else I can be reached at 507-456-2957. If you are looking for a nice, honest, solid Model A here you go. Good Luck Bidding! |

Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.
