Beautifully restored 1952 Ford Marmon Harrington F2 All wheel drive 3/4 ton truck. This truck
went through a full body off nut and bolt restoration in the early 1990s by a well known 1952 Ford private
collector, parts and funding were not an issue when this truck was done and the results are obvious. I was a teen
at the time this truck was coming together and always admired its quality an detail. Then many years later I was
able to buy it out of his private collection. It's worth mentioning the
previous owner is very patriotic and wouldn't think of using foreign or any non OEM parts during its restoration so
all it's parts are USA made or NOS Ford, taken from his large inventory of NOS 52 Ford parts he was a large scale
collector. So you can be assured this isn't a restoration with a hodgepodge of foreign stuff today's market seems
to bring.
The engine is the correct era 239 V8 Flathead Ford and was rebuilt prior to the restoration and starts and runs
very nice. The only point I can deduct from the entire truck is that the engine block has a small repair near the
r/s water-pump that probably dates back to the 1950s and was obviously a good enough job that the rebuilder saw no
reason to replace it in after pressure testing in the early 90s when it was rebuilt prior to being installed in
this truck. This is not an issue it does not affect any performance or cause the engine to do anything unusual like
leak or run hot. The bed has been rebuilt using kiln treated, sanded and sealed hardwood, the trim is stainless steel and is show
caliber. The paint is one of the trucks many highlights, it is the factory color this truck was date coded with,
and is PPG Delstar Acrylic enamel, the finish is a 10 out of 10 I'm certain this paint job in today's market would
cost you over 20k to duplicate, which is one of the reasons I'm nervous to be around it. The interior is also
extremely nice and the seat has be reupholstered the spring set and even the burlap are were NOS 52 Ford, the
headliner replaced, all gages work even the dome light goes on and off with the doors being opened and shut, and
both spot lights shine bright. The odometer reads the mileage since the trucks rebuild.
To my knowledge everything on this truck works as
it should I have put a limited amount of miles on it with no problems, leaks,etc. It has been very well received
in the parades and shows I've had it in. The truck pretty much speaks for itself. This would make a wonderful
marketing tool for a large company to enjoy. I hold a clear title in hand.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

Ford abandons MyFord Touch, all hail Sync 3 infotainment [w/video]

Thu, Dec 11 2014

MyFord Touch has been among the most widely disdained automotive infotainment systems on the market, practically since its introduction in 2010. Consumer Reports was among the most vocal critics, all but advocating its lynching by an angry mob armed with torches and pitchforks. Not surprisingly, then, after such a critical walloping, Ford has finally decided to say goodbye to the unloved tech, declaring the end of MyFord Touch branding in favor of Sync 3 for its upcoming, all-new system. Ford is promising everything you would expect from Sync 3, including faster response time, better voice-command integration, easier controls and a more useable interface. The screen layout includes fewer items to make them easier to discern, and the icons are made from large, high-contrast buttons. There's also a dedicated tab for apps at the bottom of the screen in addition to those for audio, climate, phone and navigation. Another useful feature is the fact that Sync 3 can download improvements over your home Wi-Fi for easier updates. In addition to the revamped interface, the software running behind the scenes is a big change too. Rather than MyFord Touch's Microsoft-sourced system, Sync 3 uses the Blackberry-owned QNX, according to Automotive News. Such a switch was rumored earlier this year. Drivers still have to live with MyFord Touch a little longer, though. According to Automotive News, Ford said that the change to Sync 3 will happen during the 2016 model year with complete integration into the lineup by the end of the 2016 calendar year. It will come standard on Titanium trim models and as a separate option will be priced in line with the current MyFord Touch. The Sync 3 brand will carry over to Lincoln, too, but with a different look. The gallery above shows a few more looks at the interface, and we invite you to scroll down to watch a video of Sync 3 in action and to read Ford's press release about it, below.

2015 Ford S-Max adds all-wheel drive, adaptive steering

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

The Blue Oval's 'One Ford' mantra has seen rapid commonization of the automaker's products across markets, but North America still has to look from afar at most of the company's Max-branded people movers, including this new S-Max. That's a bit of a shame - we like the space efficiency and above-average driving dynamics of the C-Max models we do get, but seeing this updated seven-seat small minivan makes us want the One Ford initiative to extend even further.
The new model's changes include an updated powertrain range including a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four with 158 horsepower, and a larger, 237-horsepower, 2.0-liter model, along with a pair of revised lower-emissions 2.0-liter diesels. The big news, however, is the advent of available all-wheel drive, something that hasn't been offered since the S-Max first went on sale back in 2006.
On the technology front, the S-Max is the first European model to receive Ford Adaptive Steering, a variable-ratio technology we recently sampled in a prototype Fusion that is expected to go into production on the next-generation Edge. The S-Max also receives a new aluminum-intensive integral link rear suspension, packaged to continue to fit up to 32 different seating combinations. Safety equipment is always a prime concern in kinschleppers like the S-Max, and to that end, this new model receives pre-collision assist technology and LED headlamps.
