1930 Model A Standard Rumble Seat Roadster Original Never Restored on 2040-cars
Elmira, New York, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1930 Model A Ford Rumble Seat Standard Roadster. This is a well maintained, original, never restored Model A that has had only three owners and has been owned by the same person for 65 years. This car was given to the grandson of the original owner who traded it in to Clute Motors, then at 118 W. Church St. in Elmira, NY toward a new 1949 Ford Sedan. The present owner was a salesman for Clute Motors at that time. He purchased the then 19 year old car and has owned it ever since. So this is the SECOND time this car has ever been for sale to the general public, the first time being when it was new in 1930, amazing! The owner in a letter to his Grandson states that the car was in good condition at that time. He had it painted in 1954 when it was 24 years old. Since that time it was well maintained by the Lincoln Mercury dealership that was owned by the owner of the car. Sometime in the past 14 years the wheels were repainted and new tires were installed, a Lebaron Bonney seat kit and a new top was purchased. The seat kit was installed but the top was not installed. The new top still in the box comes with the car. The rumble seat is original. The owner passed away in 2010, his estate still owns the car and it is currently New York State registered to his son. All transferable paper work is in order. This car has been well maintained, it starts, runs and drives as it should. This car gets lots of attention because of its survivor status. If you like unrestored, driveable, survivor cars you will love this car. It has been garaged and never driven in the winter since 1949!! I am listing this car for the family. Please feel free to email me with ANY questions. I am a life long car collector and have sold a number of collector cars on ebay. |

How and why Ford is rolling out Vignale in Europe
Wed, 09 Oct 2013
We know that Ford is positioning the new, upscale Vignale brand in Europe to fill a niche market of customers who want a bit more luxury, a lot more service and the same reliability and dependability that a non-Vignale Ford offers. But so far, we've been in the dark regarding how the Blue Oval will sell Vignale vehicles, how many of them will be created, and what the new sub-brand has in store for the future.
Gaetano Thorel, Ford's European marketing head, recently was interviewed by Automotive News and shared details about Ford Vignale. Thorel says, "The Vignale trim line will be priced like an ST model but attract a completely different type of customer." Specifically, he says it will attract customers in the upper 15 percent of the price band who don't want a performance-oriented ST model. He adds that Vignale cars will be about 10 percent more expensive than Titanium-trim cars. About 500 of Ford's European dealers will sell Vignale Fords, Thorel says, "in areas that make sense." The automaker expects 10 percent of its European sales to be Vignale cars, which equates to about 5 percent of its global sales. When asked if there are any other Vignale models planned beyond the Mondeo, Thorel said, "There is nothing written in stone yet."
Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time
Fri, Aug 15 2014Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.
