Up for auction is this nice little Model A Coupe with a rumble seat. It has an older paint job & restoration that looks to be about 10-15 years ago.  The paint is pretty nice, good for parades but not show winning quality.  It has some  extras like a radiator stone guard, moto-meter heat gauge, luggage rack on the back and a very expensive overdrive built in to the drive shaft giving the car 7-9 MPH higher top end speed.(see pics) ($1200.00 to install) Engine rebuilt during restroation.  Engine starts easily every time, with no smoking at any time. It runs nice & cool.  It is very peppy and cruises nice with the over-drive! It has never left me stranded & is very dependable.Tires are in nice shape with no need to replace.  The top is nice with no leaks.  The interior has been redone in green vinyl, clean with no rips or tears.  The rumble seat is also in nice shape and fun for the grandkids to ride back there! The bumpers are in decent shape.  The doors open and close nicely as does the hood and trunk.  The glass is all good.  The lights and gauges work and the horn blows.  The cowle lights need new bulbs.  It has dual taillights for better safety after dark.  There are vacuum type wipers, but not positive if they work. Again, not a show car, however a nice daily driver.  It runs, drives, and stops just great. Dependable in good shape as a parade car or advertising piece.  Always gets a thumbs up & smiles when out cruising.  Complete with the rumble seat for the kids.  The reserve is below $9K so it is affordable.  The mileage is not known. The car is currently in a garage and can remain there till spring to allow for transportation.   Please contact me to ask questions & further discuss this car prior to the end of the auction. I think you will enjoy driving this little Ford coupe.  Good luck and bid with confidence.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

Most American Cars | Honda Makes the Top 10 List

Thu, Oct 14 2021

The car built with the most American/Canadian parts content is the 2021 Ford Mustang GT – with the manual transmission, specifically, no less – giving Ford a second consecutive year atop the American University Kogod Business School annual "Made in America Auto Index. We already knew that it doesn't get much more American than a V8 pony car, but now we've got the numbers to prove it.  Ford's iconic coupe takes the number one slot pretty convincingly this year, with 88.5% of its components coming from U.S. or Canadian sources. Appropriately, though perhaps confusingly, 21 models made the top 10 list in 2021. As you may have surmised, this is the result of multiple ties. Note also that many models appear more than once to account for variants built with parts from different sources. The top-ranked Mustang is a perfect example; The automatic drops into into a tie for 10th, right next to the EcoBoost model and Ram's 1500 Classic with the 3.6L V6.  The "America" theme runs pretty strongly through the top "10," with the Chevrolet Corvette sitting pretty in second place, followed by all three variants of Tesla's Model 3 electric car. Honda also makes several appearances thanks to its rather significant U.S. manufacturing footprint. Here are the 21 vehicles that make up the top 10 this year – don't worry, it feels just as weird to type as it does to read. Last year's winner, the midsize Ford Ranger pickup, cratered to 16th place, dropping from 70% American parts content to just 45%. Keep in mind, however, that the pandemic has forced automakers to source parts outside of their normal supply chains, and such drops should be taken with a grain of salt. Kogod noted that the overall proportions of content between manufacturers remained relatively unchanged despite what appear to be significant shake-ups such as this one.  "While the trend TDC for cars assembled in the US is consistent over time, both Daimler and Subaru saw significant drops in their average US content," the summary said. "This may be the result of US shortages of parts and components as the impacts of the covid pandemic created significant disruptions in automotive supply chains."
