Backyard Barn Find In Backyard #2! This Car Was My Favorite! on 2040-cars
Oneida, Wisconsin, United States
|
This 5 Window Coupe was restored in the early 90s and while not a show car it still looks very good. Personally, I think this was the best car pa did. I loved this car. It was my favorite. I always told him I was going to drop a V8 in it, like American Graffiti. Since I sold my 34 5 window coupe, I would love to keep this car and rod it out, but I can not wreck this beauty. I plan to take the money from this and finish the car I started for my pa - a 1959 Impala. He said it was his favorite car of all times. My father built this car and a half dozen other cars from the ground up. I have driven this car from time to time over the years and it is mechanically sound, unfortunately it has not been driven in the past three years. For this reason I recommend cleaning the gas tank. (unless I get it done ahead of time :) I will try my best to get it running before the auction ends. For those of you who know these cars, Henry built them so the average man could repair them and keep them running. You have to love Henry for that! Few cars get more attention than an old Model A Ford with a rumble seat. This 1930 is no exception. The green two tone paint is in good condition. The original style mohair interior, which was replaced, is like new. The body, frame, fenders, wheels, motor are all reconditioned original. This is not fresh molded parts ordered from a magazine. It has not been that long since this car ran, so getting it road worthy should be not big deal. Again, I will do my best to get it running by the end of this auction. I am posting a lot of pictures so you can get a good sense of the car's condition. I just washed it for the pictures. I know it is difficult to buy a car off of pictures, so personal inspection is welcomed. I have many Model A parts and more cars to sell. Please contact me with any questions. Thank you.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
Ford Claims Focus As World's Best-Selling Car For Second Year In A Row
Mon, Jan 27 2014Ford Motor Co. has claimed its Focus sedan beat out the Toyota Corolla for the title of 'best-selling car in the world' for the second year in a row. The declaration was based on independent sales figures from January to September of 2013, according to USA Today. Last year, Ford used data from the analysis firm Polk to support its claim of having the best-selling car of 2012. Toyota objected, stating the Corolla sold more units. The numbers eventually showed that the Ford Focus was the best selling nameplate of the year, but may have been second to the Toyota sedan overall since multiple variations of the Corolla are sold under different nameplates around the world. Data from the analysis firm R.L. Polk found Focus registrations from January through September 2013 reached 856,587. Ford can thank booming car sales in China, where the automaker sold 303,481 units, for a sizable chunk of that number, which was a 16 percent increase over 2012. "Our success with Focus is the result of Ford's connection to our customers all over the world," said Jim Farley, an executive vice president at Ford. The Focus and Corolla both compete in the popular small sedan segment, along with other hot-selling cars like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Cruze. These vehicles make a up a large portion of sales for their respective automakers, as they tend to hit a sweet spot for many consumers, coming with a starting sticker price under $20,000, solid fuel economy, plenty of cargo and passenger room and, lately, sharp exterior design and sportier driving dynamics.
