1922 Ford Model T huckster with custom oak body, all original steel body panels, and drivetrain. The builder was a hot-rod man, and built this for shows and parades, so it is very user friendly. It has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system using a single coil and modern distributor. The spark advance lever on the steering wheel is still functioning as it should. It has the usual drips that any old car has, but everything works as it should, and gets serviced regularly. I don't know how many miles it has on it, but it's at least 10 when you figure that our local parade routes are all about a mile long, and it's done that 5 times!!
It comes with what you see in the pictures, the tools, original jack, spare tire with tube on the rim, another spare tube, spare wheel, and a spare correct fan belt. There is a manual, a spare parts price list from 1922, and a spare parts list from 1984. I don't know if the first 2 are originals or reprints, but the 1984 manual is from a company that sold restoration parts.
This little truck runs great, would be a nice parade or advertising piece, plus it's really fun to drive and gets a lot of attention when you take it out. I also have it listed locally, so it is subject to being sold before the auction ends, but not if it meets the reserve first. I require a $500.00 deposit by paypal as soon as the auction ends and the rest within 7 days. Cash in hand works best, but if you send certified funds the vehicle can't leave until the funds have cleared. As long as it's paid for, I can store it for up to 2 weeks for you to arrange shipping. After that, storage can be negotiated for a longer period if needed. I can also assist in loading it here. Please let me know if you have any specific questions or need specific pictures and I'll do what I can.

Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
