1922 Model T Ford "doctor"s Coupe Excellent Driver No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1922 Mileage:99000
Location:

Augusta, Georgia, United States

Augusta, Georgia, United States


Up for bids is my 1922 Model T Ford "Doctor's" Coupe. If I'm not mistaken it also goes by several other nicknames, "Top Hat Coupe"," High Top Coupe" among others.

After twenty five years of restoring Model A Fords, I wanted to learn more about the "T" and bought a couple of "barn finds" got them running and driving then decided to buy a more reliable Model T. This is the one I chose.

This car has been around the Augusta area for years with a couple of owners who have since passed away. Knowing how nice this driver was, I bought it from the estate of the last owner and have enjoyed it ever since!

Even after the car had been stored for several years, it only needed the gas tank and fuel lines cleaned, a new set of spark plugs, plug wires a new battery and she cranked on the first turn! I also decided to install a fuel shutoff valve and replace the carburetor with a rebuilt Kingston NH from Lang's which made a world of difference. I also replaced the fan belt and water hoses. Now she starts easily every time and runs excellent both on battery and magneto!  All four wooden coils fire strong!

Unfortunately, the transmission bands needed replacing. Luckily I found a new set of Kevlar bands along with some extra parts that came with the car. Once they were installed, the car ran and drove as it did in 1922..... I would assume!

It also stops as well as it runs! Steering is tight. With the new Kevlar brake band  liner and the added optional Rocky Mountain drum brakes there is plenty of brake pedal and it seems to stop as well as my Model A.

Although I have no idea when or by whom the car was restored it is truly a very nice driver.

All of the glass is in excellent condition and the interior looks perfect especially with the beautifully restored steering wheel. Top is in excellent condition with no tears, worn areas or leaks. Do to the age of the restoration, the paint is showing some expected wear, nicks, etc. I have tried to picture most of the problem areas but the car still draws a crowd as is! I always receive many compliments!

Everything works on this "T" with the exception of the , "what appears to be," original speedometer. I would assume it would be operational but the cable and sprocket assembly that attaches to the right front wheel are missing. The formally kerosene cowl lamps have been cleverly altered to accept a socket and bulb and can be lit separately from the headlights. There is also an extra "STOP" light for safety.

I have never seen any leakage from the excellent radiator, engine, or drivetrain. No need to check the oil the old way by turning petcocks! Someone has installed a very helpful dipstick which works great and your hands stay clean!

The wooden spokes are in excellent condition, however, some of the tires are showing some surface cracking. No problem for short local trips but might be a concern for longer tours.

 

As much as I have enjoyed owning this "T" I need to make room for another recent vehicle purchase.

 

I strongly recommend anyone interested in bidding on this vehicle either visit Augusta, GA. or send their representative for inspection. I will be happy to show the car. anytime as long as arrangements are made in advance.

2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.

China takes lead as GM's No. 1 market

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

It's happened. General Motors' biggest vehicle market - at least in terms of new model sales - is China. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, GM and its various Chinese joint venture operations enjoyed a 10.6-percent sales increase in the first half of 2013, selling almost 1.6 million units in the market. That puts GM China about 200,000 units ahead of its US sales totals over the same period - this, despite indicators that the communist nation's economy is losing momentum.
TDB notes that like GM, rival Ford has also enjoyed a robust 2013 in China thus far, with its sales up a whopping 47 percent to 407,721 units sold - 75,254 of them in June alone. Between the two US automakers, passenger car sales for the first half of 2013 are up around 14 percent, well ahead of the rest of the industry's 10-percent growth estimates for the market. Some of the sales growth may come as a result of an overall anti-Japan sentiment in China, though the American brands have long outsold their Japanese counterparts in the country.
By The General's own predictions, China will only continue to grow in sales importance. The company has designs on selling over five million cars a year in the market before the end of the decade, a total that figures to dramatically widen the gap versus its US totals - even if America's auto market makes a full recovery to the the salad days of over 17-million units a year.

Is that the Ford GT Le Mans racer in the background of this Forza video?

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Shortly after the reveal of the new Ford GT in Detroit a couple of weeks ago, Microsoft announced that it was putting the new American supercar on the cover of the upcoming sixth installment of the Forza Motorsport video game series. Now it has put out a video of the process of digitizing Dearborn's latest. Whether you're into Detroit steel (or carbon fiber and aluminum in this case), exotic supercars or video games, the video is worth a watch in and of itself. But our eyes were focused on something else. In the background of one shot (around the 1:49 mark) you can see a design board with renderings of what looks to be the rumored racing version of the GT – complete with reshaped air intakes, deeper side sills, a bigger rear wing and a central rear fin like you'd find on the latest LMP1 racing prototypes. It wouldn't be the first time we've caught wind of the prospect of the Blue Oval's new supercar going racing. We first heard of the plans last October, further reinforced in December with reports of the new GT coming to Detroit. And as we reported just a couple of weeks ago following the supercar's reveal, a return to Le Mans could be in the cards – which would be fortuitous timing, since next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the original GT40 scoring its landmark 1-2-3 finish in the 24-hour race.
