40+ Photos of this 1923 Ford Model T 3 Door Touring (on Photobucket)

NOTE:  When reviewing the photos, please be aware that many of the photos were shot while I had the car on display at a local Ford dealership. It is now in my garage, and I can send you pictures of any angle or specific place on the car. (also, if I don't have all of the photos uploaded at the beginning of the auction, they'll be on by Sunday, Nov 10th).

HISTORY:  I purchased this car 6 or 7 years ago, from a well regarded Michigan dealer.  They had acquired it from the original builder (who worked for a top quality East Coast rod shop) - they had put on over 9,000 miles in only a few years, taking it to a number of East Coast shows.  The car was certainly built to be driven, and it was!  However, if you want a car that has not been seen by everybody - it is UNKNOWN on the West Coast!  I have only taken to 3-4 small local shows, and driven it in a few parades.  It's never been to a Good-Guys or NSRA show west of the Rockies......but it can drive to any one of them if you wanted.  I have 18 cars, and I've come to accept that it is time to start thinning the herd.  And it's time for someone else to enjoy her and show her off.

TITLE:  Clear, California title (as a 1923 Ford), in my name.  Currently registered and insured.  If you are a sincere buyer, you can call me at 805- three nine one -0509 (cell), or email me directly at hotrodranch@live.com.  I am happy to answer questions about this car, or any of my other cars that will be going up for sale soon also.  I only request that you ask questions BEFORE you bid!

DONATION:  I have planned that 5% of this sale will go to one of my favorite charities - Focus on the Family.  If you have an alternative ministry that you would like to donate to, call me to review how we can donate in your name instead!  It's just my way of giving back!

Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins

Sat, Jan 18 2014

Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.

Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.
