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.

This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood

Fri, Jan 30 2015

Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year

Sat, Dec 27 2014

It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change.
