This is a beautiful 1928 Ford Model A, Tudor Sedan. The car has been garage kept since restoration began 30 years ago. There is NO RUST on this car anywhere. The doors are straight, and close and open fully. Pretty much a top to bottom restoration including but not limited to: New tires, and a spare on the back, newly painted rims, new floor boards, new blue/black paint scheme, new roof, new upholstery, interior insulation installed, newly restored Zenith Carb, engine has been rebuilt and runs beautifully, no smoke at all. All lights, including brake light work. Has been updated to a hydraulic brake system which works great! All windows roll all the way down and up with no problem at all, Brand new battery as of 10/2012. Of course there are a couple dings on the fenders but nothing serious.


A few things to finish the car off: The seats have been reupholstered however the headliner, door panels, and rear panels have not yet been upholstered. The transmission shifts fine, and drives fine...but 1st gear is quite noisy, and 2nd gear is a little noisy. 3rd is as quiet as ever. Also has an "auto-lite" heater, which works very well! 

**Also - The car currently has a AA engine. This was an engine originally used just for commercial trucks. I believe it is a 30' engine. Serial is AA437217

A couple important things you need to know: The two biggest problems with the car mechanically are: The car seems to wobble, or shimmy left and right when driving more than 10 mph or so. Also the steering wheel has a bit of play. I am not sure how to fix this, but for the right person I bet it is not that difficult. I drove the car quite a bit last fall with no problems at all. This year, the problems started and therefor have not driven it much.

This is not a show car, as the paint and upholstery, as well as a few other things are not original...HOWEVER this would be a great car for someone that is mechanical and can fix the minor issues the car currently has. It is great for a drive around town. Starts every time with no problem at all!

I have described this to the best of my ability, I strongly advise you to ask any question you may have! I will get back to you ASAP. Also, please come and take it for a test drive if you are serious! Car is located about 45min west of Chicago in Wheaton, Il.

Thanks for looking!

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
