1930 Ford Tudor Sedan restored from an exceptionally solid, straight, rust-free original. A very lovely Model A that always receives glowing compliments, particularly regarding the razor straight body, show-worthy paint and '31 style deluxe mohair interior. The car has been driven very sparingly since the restoration, always kept covered indoors and never exposed to inclement weather and truly shows no noticeable aging or wear. The chassis and drive-train have also been completely rebuilt. The brakes feature accessory floaters which significantly improves their efficiency. Vacuum wiper motor restored and works perfectly. The instrument panel features a NOS speedometer. It still shows all zeros as I haven't been able to bring myself to hook it up (there is a speedometer cable included). Would estimate the car has been driven less than 1000 miles since restoration. Non-original features include the '31 style deluxe mohair interior and a '32 style stainless-strip hood hinge on a Rootlieb reproduction hood. Had a very nice original hood but even nice ones are difficult to restore to Rootlieb reproduction quality. Those guys make outstanding products. The later hinge eliminates the annoying paint chipping normally seen with an original hinge and ties in nicely with the stainless cowl band and stainless radiator shell. I'm sure Henry would approve (why didn't he think of it sooner?) and it wouldn't be difficult to revert to original should new owner prefer. The radiator shell shows a small wrinkle on the upper left edge. I have a very nice, straight replacement to install before it goes to a new home. Also, not shown in the pictures are a very nice original horn (not installed) and a locking Moto-Meter (with wings) radiator cap (not installed) that will go with the car. The car cold-starts instantly with a 6-volt sealed Optima battery. If you have a 6-volt vehicle without one of these you're missing out! My only complaint about the car is that it (like every other Model-A??) leaks a bit of oil, making a garage-floor drip pan an essential accessory. It does have a "leakless water pump" which is a great feature, as Model A owners can attest, for keeping the engine bay nice and clean. The auction involves a very reasonable reserve; significantly less than completing a comparable restoration. As a used car, it is offered for sale as-is where-is with no warranties stated or implied. The buyer is responsible for all costs and arrangements for shipping or pick-up of the vehicle. A $500 pay-pal deposit will be due from the winning bidder within 72 hours of auction conclusion and the remaining balance by direct wire transfer to my bank within 7 days. Other certified-funds may be acceptable (contact seller through eBay). The car and/or title will not be released until all funds have completely cleared all banks involved.

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles

Wed, Jan 15 2014

We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting

Tue, 13 May 2014

It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
