Fresh Off Restore 1916 Brass Era Model T Truck Numbers Matching Car Block Also!! on 2040-cars

Year:1916 Mileage:100

Algoma, Wisconsin, United States

Algoma, Wisconsin, United States

For sale is my 1916 Brass Era Model T, fresh off a great restore. 

This car is a great numbers matching car with not only number matching but proof

of this in the block date as well. 

Car started out in the early days as a roadster with a farmer transforming it

into a truck in the 30’s. 

Story from the old gentleman I purchased it from is that in the war area they were given gas rations in the order

of 5 gallons if you had a car, 10 gallons if you were a service member and 15 gallons if you were a

Farmer and owned a truck. 

This was the whole reason for purchasing the truck body from the Cabinet co. from Des Plaines Illinois. 

The number of the unit on a brass tag still on the bed of the truck is number 167, a very early number as over 50,000

of these units were sold. 

I purchased a brand new brass works radiator for this year and no water pump is even needed

In the warmest of summer days. 

I also put a battery box under it for starting power, running the horns and street legal electric

taillights in the oil lamps.  All 4 oil lamps are functional as oil lamps with just added wires and reflectors and bulbs

for street legal operation.

Car runs best on magneto as there is no starter or generator. 

Car starts easy on 1 or 2 cranks cold and less than that warm. 

Headlights and one of the horns run on the magneto also. 

Anyway, this is a great truck and has been completely restored to the shape it was in at that time. 

All metal fenders etc. and all wood stripped down, resealed and varnished. 

Original Wood wheels were also taken down and sealed and varnished also. 

This is a true find and would be a proud addition to any person’s collection. 

I have entered this is many shows and always wins first in class and one best of show. 

Trophies do not go with the truck, Sorry. 

Since taking the photos I have added a drivers side rear oil lamp so both sides

are matching in the back.  Both oil lamps are functional but also have light lenses inside for a brake light & can easily be removed if you so choose. 

Also since pictures added a Ford Script for the back tailgate. Both are shown in the last photo.

If needed, I can deliver for $1.50 per mile in an enclosed trailer.  Maximum 500 miles round trip. 
I have 1 bike and about 7 or 8 other antique cars and trucks, if interested in getting more than 1, I will combine the
enclosed shipping for the same rate. 
I can fit 2 cars or trucks and 1 bike into a single load, 3 max. 
Call, email or text with any questions. 
thx.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
