Gleaming 1937 Ford Coupe All Steel A Very High Quality Award Winning Masterpiece on 2040-cars
Huntington, New York, United States
1937 FORD COUPE VIN: SD9283F THERE OVER 200 HUGE IMAGES OF THIS STUNNING CAR SHOWN BELOW! DESCRIPTION: This auction is for an amazing 1937 FORD Coupe that defies written descriptions, but with the help of hundreds of photos, we'll give it a try. This gorgeous car was professionally built, it is ALL steel, and it is a masterpiece of quality. It was constructed with the most intricate and detailed workmanship imaginable. Major modifications began with the fitting of Tudor sedan doors (that are 6" longer than stock) on hidden hinges and the tipping of the "B" posts forward to enhance the look. The rear quarters were lowered, custom running boards were fabricated and raked forward to match the modified lower edges on the front fenders. The roof has been welded and leaded in place and enhanced with a custom shaped rain gutter. In addition, a special rear roll pan was designed and constructed. The remaining stock body sheet metal was all carefully straightened by old school spot heating and quenching resulting in arrow straight panels and almost no filler. The exterior of the car speaks for itself, and the powerful blown big block engine was designed for high performance while drinking only pump grade fuels. The transmission is a modified 400 Turbo and it ends up at a full Mark Williams 9" Ford rear end. It is cooled by an oversize Griffin radiator and 16" SPAL fan and that is augmented by another water cooler and fan under the car (see images)! The brilliant stainless steel 3" exhaust system has .060" walls and the left and right side are mirrored imaged from the headers to the custom polished stainless wrapped Flow Master mufflers exiting centered out the back of the car. Another really trick feature is the linear actuated exhaust cutouts located at the end of the collectors along with front and rear license plates that instantly disappear under the car at the touch of a button. The extra tidy trunk space is taken up by a pair of boxed batteries and a custom 21 gallon fuel tank all of which was neatly upholstered. The graphics and paint scheme came from Thom Taylor who supplied concept drawings prior to the build. The underside and exterior of the coupe are finished with House of Kolors base and clear coats, Silver White Pearl, Kosmic Kandy Purple and Hot Pink Pearl. The graphics inspired cloth interior is beautifully detailed and fitted with high quality wool carpets. The 12 point full roll cage and Pyrotech 5-point harnesses work to keep occupants safe and secure in the event of a mishap. To help illustrate the level of detail in this project, the harnesses were taken apart to facilitate the chroming of the hardware and then sent back to Pyrotech to be stitched back together! Doors open remotely from a chromed mechanical arm hidden under the floorboards and a rear view mirror articulates out of the open drivers window from inside, if needed. The car is a real pleasure to drive because it behaves well and is easy to operate. The engine temperature is in the normal range under all conditions. There is a remotely controlled Sony 10 disc CD player with 4 speakers, Cerullo GT seats, Auto Meter pro comp gauges in a removable dash section and power windows. There is a breakdown list below of most of what went into building this treasure, and at the end of our dozens of current images, there is also a lengthy archival photo review to help illustrate the extent of the work in this coupe. The ONLY nit that we were able to pick on the entire car is some barely noticeable bubbling of the paint between the rear pan and the body below the trunk, that's it. This car is used on rare occasion, always garaged and exceptionally well cared for. For every trick thing that you can see on this car, there are 10 more bonus ideas and items that you really need to search for. You can stare at and study the workmanship for hours and still be amazed. The full photo and parts inventory history comes with the car as will CAD drawings of many of the custom parts, detailed wiring diagrams and many other extras. There are two different sets of engine side panels (shown hanging on the wall). BODY Modifications: 1937 FORD Coupe, All Steel.

Ford Explorer problems gutted third-quarter sales
Tue, Oct 22 2019In early September, the Detroit Free Press published a feature noting numerous problems Ford's having with the 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator launches. Issues with both SUVs, built at Ford's Chicago Assembly Plant, were so rife and dire that the automaker was trucking the vehicles 275 miles away to Michigan for repairs. Bloomberg reported earlier this month that Explorer's third-quarter sales dropped 48 percent compared to the previous model in 2018, with dealers unable to get enough units on lots for customers. Nor is the snafu over: Automotive News reports that another "batch of about 2,500 Explorers in need of repairs" arrived recently in Michigan, and sales through the first nine months of 2019 are down 31 percent. Sales dips during model changeovers are to be expected as old inventory gets sold down and new production ramps up, but this is different. Ford U.S. sales boss Mark LaNeve told Bloomberg earlier this month, "We’ve got adequate inventory in our stores. For Q4, availability wonÂ’t be an issue. WeÂ’ll be able to hit our stride with Explorer starting now." It's hard to know whether that's true, with thousands of Explorers still piling into Michigan; the batch AN mentioned represents about 5 days of sales during an average month in 2018, before the drawdown and interruptions hampered matters. And when Consumer Reports tested the Ford Explorer it bought this summer, it titled the review, "2020 Ford Explorer drives nicely but has many flaws / Poor interior quality and a high price overshadow the SUV's improvements."Â Â On top of that, the AN piece mentions a new impediment to uncorking the Explorer sales stream: Worker strife in the Chicago plant. Allegedly, "Roving groups of workers are intimidating other employees, creating a hostile environment, the people said. ThatÂ’s driving up turnover and leaving some vehicle assembly unfinished, contributing to the company having to complete the work at the Michigan factory or at dealerships, the people said." Ford's been fined twice before for the same kinds of issues at its plants, once in 1999, again in 2017, but a spokesperson said Ford isn't aware of any such problems now. The pressure otherwise has got to be unpleasant for everyone on the Explorer team, from CEO Jim Hackett down. The automaker was meant to be "turning the corner" in April, but as of now, shares are down, credit rating is down, earnings are down.
How privacy fears are driving automakers in the age of the connected car [w/poll]
Wed, Aug 27 2014A recent GAO report concluded car companies don't adequately disclose how and why they share location data. As cars collect and store more and more data about the whereabouts of their drivers, automakers are responding to critics who say they should be more transparent about how those details are used. Ford is hiring a global privacy policy attorney to craft the company's customer privacy policies in the era of connected and autonomous cars. "In this emerging space, there is an important need to address customer privacy policies," reads a job description posted on the "people and careers" portion of the company's website. "As part of our compliance and ethics organization at Ford, this person will have an immediate and direct impact in shaping existing and future policy and corporate thinking in this area." Ford is creating the new position, based at its Dearborn headquarters, at a time technology advances are outpacing privacy protections. Earlier this year, a report from the federal government concluded car companies don't adequately disclose to motorists how and why they share location data. That report, from the Government Accountability Office, found many car companies did not describe how they shared location data, did not allow consumers to request their data be deleted and that there was a "wide variation" in how car companies retained vehicle-specific or identifiable location data. It noted there is increased risk of location data being used in ways "consumers did not intend." Ford was one of 10 companies the GAO surveyed while compiling its report. Customers are opting to share that data largely by using features like maps and turn-by-turn direction that are run by a vehicle's telematics unit. Depending on the company, it can be unclear how that data is collected, retained or shared. At the time the GAO report was issued, AAA, the nation's largest motoring club, urged carmakers to be more transparent in how they handle data and to offer stronger security protections. Shaping Autonomous Car Regulations At Ford, the new hire could change how the company handles that data. According to the job description, the successful applicant will, "demonstrate visionary thinking around privacy strategy – imagine how consumer and employee expectations around privacy may evolve and how business should adapt, develop approaches that maximize the benefit of data sharing for consumers and business, etc." (Emphasis from Ford).
Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US
Sun, 23 Feb 2014Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.
