From Harrison, Maine;

In remarkable preserved condition I am offering a genuine New England Farm Truck.

BODY; This truck has no rust issues. The body has been refreshed with minimal body filler used to

smooth surfaces. All repairs were old restorations and done in metal. Lines are excellent, body is solid, and a fresh coat of paint has been applied. The truck is a 10 footer.

INTERIOR. The dash, doors, and gauges are in original condition with no restoration being done. Floors had an older patch job at some point and are solid. Headliner is circa 1958 and appears old

but serviceable. I did recover the original seat. The truck does have an excellent aftermarket heater.

BED; This Ford F1 has the deluxe metal bed that was inserted over the wood bed. Both are in good condition.

UNDER CARRIAGE. The frame and under carriage are clean. Only surface rust appears in some spots on the axle and springs. At some point the truck had a very serious re-conditioning of the entire frame and rear bed. It is still in very good shape.

ENGINE. The deluxe model in 1946 offered the Ford Flathead V8-29A compression 6.4:1 power 100 hp. This has a single carb. The motor runs flawlessly. Exterior the engine is clean but age appropriate dirt and grim.

TRANSMISSION; Again the Deluxe has the four speed stick tranny with square gears (double clutch). Tranny does not leak and runs flawlessly.

BRAKES; I was told that they were recently redone. I have driven the truck (about 400 miles) with no issues.

EXHAUST; There is a new exhaust installed. It is a dual pipe system that sounds excellent.

OVERVIEW; This truck came from a well maintained home. It has had an older restoration which seemed oriented towards protecting the originality of the vehicle. I purchased it in presentable shape and have done preservation work to the truck to insure it's longevity. This is a wonderful example of the post war era vehicles that graced America's farmlands. This is a no issues parade ready truck that has immediate equity and drivability.

VALUE; HAGERTY, KELLEY, NADA, have a high book value of $42,000.00. Average book value is $17,900.00. This truck is in Very Good Condition and should be worth in the mid-twenties. I preserve and flip vehicles (30 years) so my reserve reflects a desire to find this truck a good home. Bid with confidence. This is a gem.

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.

Plug In 2014: ALTe ready to join Ford's EQVM to convert, sell F-150 PHEV [w/video]

Mon, Aug 4 2014

It's been a while since we've checked in with ALTe and its plans to convert big work vehicles like the Ford F-150 into plug-in hybrids. So, when we saw a demonstration vehicle sitting outside the San Jose Convention Center at the Plug In 2014 Conference last week, we had to get a closer look. When we did, we realized that it's been quite some time since we've been in a Ride & Drive vehicle that was all beat to heck. It's been quite some time since we've been in a Ride & Drive vehicle that was all beat to heck. The reason for the well-worn F-150 with 30,000 miles on it is that ALTe has been showing off its extended-range EV technology to lots of people all around the country, and Kyle Maki has been the man on the scene more often than not. "This one, I've taken all over the country," he told AutoblogGreen. "I've wore out that seat, I think. The only reason this one wasn't driven here was because we were in Charlotte [NC] last week and I didn't want to take a chance and not make it in time for this event." In other words, ALTe is out there, ginning up excitement for the idea of a plug-in hybrid Ford with an electric range of up to 40 miles and which can then continue on gas for another 360 miles at around about 25 miles per gallon. ALTe wants to not only convert new vehicles but it also offers retrofits for fleets that are happy with their current fleet. The company offers converted versions of the Ford E350 and E450 utility vehicles now but the near-mythical F-150 PHEV is still "coming soon." Yes, orders are now being accepted, but you will be forgiven if you think this is all happening on a slow time scale. There are simply a lot of things to do before ALTe can sell the truck. ALTe is currently attempting to join Ford's EQVM program, which is the electric version of the standard Qualified Vehicle Modifiers program. The QVM program requires coachbuilders to "be successfully evaluated by Ford Motor Company on criteria such as engineering, the manufacturing process, quality control, and adherence to Ford and Lincoln Divisions guidelines." Qualified applicants must also meet all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, conform to Ford/Lincoln conversion guidelines and agree to be inspected annually as well as have a "commitment to continuous improvement." Maki has a simpler explanation. "It basically means you're a preferred supplier, a Tier 1, if you will," he said.
