Model A Sedan Ride

Up for bid is a 1930 Deluxe Town Fordor Sedan that has undergone a complete high quality body off nut & bolt restoration to a very high degree. I have owned this car for about seven years and purchased the car a few of years after restoration from the man who did it. I had sold the car to a friend for his museum collection in New Jersey and he only had the car a few years when I purchased it back from him. Except for starting the car and moving it from time to time not to sit in one spot it was hardly used and very few miles have been put on the car. This car never saw the rain and every time I used it I went over the car from top to bottom detailing inside and out. This car was restored from a great example using the original Ford Model A color of Ford Maroon for the body with a black roof and belt line and black fenders with aurora red wheels with vermillion red pin stripe as per judging standards as was the entire car. This body is strait as an arrow with great door fit with no sagging or anything and these doors close like a new car and line up perfect. This is of course an all steel car with every Ford option at the time when new with dual side mount’s, dual side mount mirrors, cowl lights, moto-meter with the wings, Ford Script windup rear view clock mirror, stone guard, deluxe luggage rack with the correct contoured trunk that is made for this body style, Firestone white wall tires, like new with the correct metal tire stems as per judging standards, all the correct shades on the three windows, pull straps and the correct LeBaron Bonney brown town sedan mohair interior with the rear fold down center arm rest including the two side arm rest as well as the correct interior dome light that works of course. I have a traffic finder and compass as well in the car. There are directional signals properly installed for safety and the original pop-out ignition that works great is still in the car and gone threw when the restoration was done. The engine was done to a high level using the correct valves for unleaded fuel and all balanced and is one of the best running engines I have ever had in a Model A car in over 40 years of owning these lovely cars. The transmission shifts smooth and the steering is tight and does not wonder. I have also installed a hood prop inside for ease of having the hood staying in place and an air cleaner is on the correct Zenith carburetor that was just rebuilt. This car has never overheated on me no matter how hot it may get and will always run cool. Everything is in top working order and just recently the horn stopped working but I found out what it was. The horn itself is perfect but the soldered tip on the horn rod down at the box came off so that will be the only thing that needs to be done unless I can do it before its sold, if not I will make an allowance for the purchase of a new horn rod. Overall this car is a show quality automobile and ready to tour at a moments notice without hesitation that rides and drives like a quality Model A should and will score well and is one of the nicest examples of a town sedan you will find both in restoration, color , body fit, etc. You could take this car to an AACA event and with little detailing still come in the running and win a prize. As you can see I took the movie and pictures before the weather turned colder but waited before putting it on Ebay as I thought I was getting a building to put my collection but that feel through so now I must make room or I would never have put this car up for sale. Best of luck to all.

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.

Ford recalls 1.48 million F-150s for transmission, plus other models

Wed, Feb 13 2019

Weeks after recalling more than 800,000 F-Series pickup trucks for a fire risk, Ford has issued another separate recall for approximately 1.48 million 2011-2013 F-150s for a transmission fault. The six-speed automatics could unexpectedly downshift into first gear without warning. Ford and Lincoln tangentially issued much smaller recalls for the Mustang, Continental, Nautilus, and Navigator. According to Ford, some 2011-2013 model year F-150 pickups with six-speed automatic transmissions could "experience an intermittent loss of the transmission output speed sensor signal to the powertrain control module." This could potentially cause the trucks to temporarily downshift, which could be dangerous if it occurs while driving. Of the 1.48 million affected trucks, 1.26 million are in the U.S. while 221,000 are in Canada. Thus far, Ford knows of five reported accidents involving the issue. To remedy the problem, owners can take their trucks to dealers to update the power control module software. Ford also issued recalls for about 4,350 2019 Mustangs, Lincoln Nautiluses, and Lincoln Navigators in the U.S. and Canada due to a possible fault with the instrument clusters. Although there have been no reports of accidents, Ford says the instrument panel clusters assemblies might be blank or not turn out when the vehicle is started. Additionally, Ford issued a third recall for 28,200 2017-2019 Lincoln Continentals in the U.S. and Canada. Ford says silicon contamination might build up inside the door latch motor, causing it to malfunction. As a result, the door latch might not always fully engage, and the doors could possibly open unexpectedly. Despite no reports of accidents, Ford will remove and replace door latch assemblies on all doors for those affected by the defect. If any of these apply to a vehicle you own, contact Ford to discuss whether it is included in any of these recalls and have the vehicle checked out at a Ford dealership.

Malcolm Gladwell reflects on engineering, recalls, and compromise

Thu, Apr 30 2015

Journalist Malcolm Gladwell has made a career taking on big, complicated topics and humanizing them to make the unwieldy understandable. He has already done this in bestsellers like The Tipping Point and Outliers, and now he has brought the same approach to automotive recalls in a long piece for The New Yorker. The article titled The Engineer's Lament is framed around an interview with the former head of Ford's recall office about the famous Ford Pinto campaign where the position of the compact's fuel tank could cause it to explode in rear-end collisions. Plus, there are detours into Toyota's unintended acceleration cases and the General Motors ignition switch problem. While all the history is illuminating, the heart of the story comes from an examination at the thought process of engineers, and how their thinking differs from other professions. Gladwell comes off as sympathetic to auto engineers in this piece. While he admits that they often approach problems in a sterile way, the writer doesn't try point that out as a failing. It's merely a fact to be understood. The story itself is quite lengthy, but well worth a read if you have the time for an insiders view into how these recalls are assessed on the inside.
