The headliner is a PVC backed with faux red suede. All artwork was done by the Son. Some pieces were hand painted. New carpet/padding. Bench seat was torn down and custom filled with new foam and added height and thickness to the bench. It sits very comfortably. The bed was carpeted. The carpet sits down with snaps so it can be removed. The side walls have hand made PVC panels covered in satin black vinyl. Completely waterproof. The body was straightened and customized by the Son. The paint has been done in gold over the original yellow. The painted was sealed and has been enhanced over the last 5 months to bring out the true history, character, and beauty of the way the truck naturally aged. A series of 800 grit all the way up to 2000 grit, buffing and polishing techs were used to enhance the natural aged patins and character to truly make this a ONE OF A KIND . The original tailgate was badly bashed up. It was repaired without using any body filler to maintain the same theme. The gate was de-seamed and disassembled, then worked back to shape and re welded together. The truck is very dependable, safe, and drives supper, and gets looks everywhere we go. When we come out of a store, there are always people around checking it out. So if you are ready to instantly be The Cool Guy, this is truly a fun, safe, reliable, go anywhere ride. Plus, she really stirs the soup.  photo JB37_zps8c761300.jpg  photo JB36_zps5c0a3693.jpg  photo JB33_zps8eecc4c4.jpg  photo JB31_zps7b5b8894.jpg  photo JB30_zps18ea55e7.jpg  photo JB28_zps72e366bd.jpg  photo JB26_zps8dd7cd61.jpg  photo JB25_zpsd457e299.jpg  photo JB24_zps900d30a8.jpg  photo JB20_zps22bdced7.jpg

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The 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.

Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.
