Sacramento, California, United States

You are looking at a real California Custom Cruiser Pickup! This 1952 Ford F1 has the right "Kustom Kulture Look” The body is straight and solid shot in Red with a light pearl effect. This truck starts, drives and stops very well, and gets a lot of attention every where it goes. The body is not perfect but is good for a driver. The suspension feels like a stock truck and goes down the road straight. It has a low mileage Buick V8 Crate Engine with a side draft 2 barrel Holley carburetor, great on gas. The 350 Automatic Transmission shifts well. New aluminum Radiator and 12V wiring functions well.
Purrs like a kitten, runs like a cheetah, and stays cool like Fonzi.   

 The top was chopped 2 inches with leaning the back window forward slightly to make up for the shorting of the roof. There is no overlaid metal and everything is completely welded. This Custom is a lowered ride with the 9” axle swapped to top of spring in the back, and a dropped tube axle swapped to top of spring in the front. Big and little BF Goodrich Long travel Wide White Wall Tires on 16” Black Steelies with original trim rings and smooth rippled Ford hubcaps. The door glass is not installed but the passenger side is cut. All the other glass is there, wing windows back and front. One wing has a small crack and the rest of the glass is chip and crack free. New dual exhaust all the way back.

This "One of a Kind" Pickup Truck has many new and upgraded parts, well over 15K invested! 

 The interior is very comfortable, new black naugahyde wraps the plush seat, the rest is pretty bare bones, stock dash and metal with a rubber floor mat.

The body and running boards have no visible rust. It has new wood and tunnel over notch in the bed.

 Many Kustom pieces and touches including extra teeth added to the grille, 1950 Packard taillights, shaved bumpers and badges. This is a California truck and has always been to the best of my knowledge, a daily driver with clear California title. Visible Vin and Black and Yellow Folsom Prison plates. Drive as is or restore it, must see to appreciate!!! CALL (916)308 zero eight seven 4 or message me for details

Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model).

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
