This is a just completed build on a very rare ride...Ford made almost 220k F100 pick-ups in '53, but only about 20k panels.
Engine is a Ford 289 V8 (low mile engine with fresh heads), backed by a 4spd toploader...they are a matched pair from a 1966 Mustang. Long list of custom and new parts: very solid body with a fresh paint job, '58 Corvette grill, frenched headlights and'59 Caddy taillights, new interior, new wheels and Silvertown radial wide whites, upgraded to power brakes with new lines, sits on a Chrysler adjustable torsion bar IFS that has been completely rebuilt (new bushings, ball joints, tie-rods, disc brakes, etc.), new wiring harness, electric fan, door poppers, reversed hood, custom dual exhaust (sweet rumble), new fuel tank, power operated vent, heat and defrost, rear lowered with reverse eye leafs and adjustable spring hangers, and on and on it goes.
This truck looks sinister and gets all the attention most people would ever want, but it is not a rat rod!! It is painted with real UV resistant satin paint...there are no rust holes...starts instantly...runs and drives and rides great...never overheats...you don't have to add fluids at every stop...and it's SAFE!
If you have questions or want to come see it, give me a buzz at 616-304-ninety-three thirty-seven. Thanks, Pat

Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing
Mon, Dec 29 2014The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.
