1950 Ford F1 Pickup Truck, Nice Solid Body, V8 Flathead on 2040-cars
Acworth, Georgia, United States
1950 Ford F-1 Truck I got this truck from a lady, and it was her great grand fathers truck, and it appears to have been keep inside most of it life because it is so solid. The wood in the bed appears to be the original wood, and it is still in good solid condition. It has the original ford windshield, one vent window, and back glass, but the back glass needs to be replaced because it has a crack in it. The V8 flathead runs great, and doesn't smoke, you just hit the starter, and it fires right up, and the brakes are in working condition. I just changed the oil, oil filter, and spark plugs. It has the rarer 3-speed on the column, you just don't see many 48 to 50 ford trucks with this option most where floor shift. It has a older repaint in the original color, and it still looks good with the normal paint chips here and there. The body is in great solid condition with no rust repair are patch panels, it does have some small beginning places that are in the lower front of both doors, and one small spot in the lower right front fender just below the grill, but these places are small, but did want to point them out, I took pictures of these three small areas. All the fenders where they meet the running boards are solid, and rust free. All the doors, hood, windows, and front air vent work as they should. Everything works except the speed-o-meter, the gauges, heater, lights, and wiper all work. The gas tank, and radiator are clean, and in great condition. The front rims, and spare are the original ford 15" rims, but the rear rims are a later 15", the tires need to be replaced if you are going to drive it on the road, they have some dry rot, and some flat spots from sitting in the garage for the past 7 years. The truck is being sold on a bill of sale only, but I can get a current Georgia tag for it if you need it to get a tag are title in your state. Georgia didn't have titles until 63 so I can't get a title for it. All zero feedback bidders please check with me before bidding are I will have to cancel your bid. I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you have any questions you can email me are call my cell at 404-867-3163 |

Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
