This is a sweet 1928 Ford Model A
Sedan! The car has been driven
regularly over the past ten years and it really rips.
Spend less time cleaning, polishing and tinkering and more time
cruising.
This is as finished as a Rat Rod could
go without looking hokey and you won’t find another like. The paint is flat black with old school
scallops in white and outlined in red, finished off with beautiful pinstripes
laid down by Paul Straus and Ron Lasker.
The roof has been chopped 5 inches, all the wood has been replaced with
white oak and finished with a dark stain and sealer. The car comes with a removable waterproof
canvas top that can be buttoned on or off in a few minutes and secured in the
back with custom leather buckle down straps.
The front end sports a 1930 grill shroud with traditional BLC guide head
lights on each side. The rear tail
lights are 1939 Ford. The 1930 Chrysler side
door handles, vintage peep mirror and 50’s bumpers give the exterior just the
right amount of chrome to go faster.
The interior is finished in wood and
stainless steel, hidden under the deck lid is a 15 gallon fuel tank made by
Tanksinc. You might question the comfort
of the seats, but they’ve got just enough spring to them that they are comfortable
and look great. The red center console
is made up of 1967 Buick fenders flipped around and welded together. A fully chromed 1932 style dash is inlayed
with black Stewart Warner Wings gauges and one enormous vintage speedometer made
by Maring and Company.(Maring and Company was based out of LA and made high
speed speedo’s back in the day) The
other gauges consists of water temp, oil pressure, oil temp for engine oil, oil
temp for trans oil, air pressure(for air-ride) and volts. The 15 inch wood steering wheel is mounted to
a 60’s VW bus steering column and gear box with a quick release so it can be
removed for security purposes. The
Enfield rifle is not included in the sale of the vehicle, it currently is slid
over a shifter rod that protrudes approximately one foot out of the center
console, I would recommend if you want to maintain the look you could find a
stage gun for a few bucks on-line.
The drive train consists of a 1965 Chevy 327 that was fully rebuilt about 5,000 miles ago putting out approximately 375 hp and topped off with a 3x2 Offenhauser intake. The transmission is a 350 turbo automatic followed by a Chevy 12 bolt rear end with fresh 3.73 gears. The front suspension is a late 30’s strait axle and split wish bone set up suicide style with disc brakes. The rear consists of an old school hairpin radius rod set up sprung with adjustable coilovers and Chevy drum brakes. The wheels are reproduction artillery style wheels in a clear finish wrapped in reproduction Firestone tires.

Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150
Wed, 09 Apr 2014The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
Cheap gas has Ford investors nervous over 2015 F-150
Wed, Dec 17 2014Gasoline in the US continues its weeks-long descent with prices down about 13 cents a gallon over last week to $2.544, which is lower by around 69 cents/gallon from this time last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Many drivers are welcoming the lower bills at the gas station as a fantastic holiday gift, but Ford investors are somewhat spooked over the potential sales implications for the 2015 F-150. Market analyst Rod Lache of Deutsche Bank recently downgraded Ford's stock from a buy to hold, according to TheDetroitBureau.com, and his report to investors may have played a part in a drop in the company's share price. Lache praised the truck's powertrain and lightweight technology, but wrote, "We question whether consumers will pay the price for this content with $2-$3 gas," in his report, according to the website. Whether buyers actually turn away from the F-150 is mostly speculative at this point because it only recently began production. With around 700 pounds of weight loss thanks in parts to its new aluminum parts, the latest Ford pickup offers up to 26 miles per gallon on the highway, plus segment-best payload and towing ratings. Prices are up somewhat in part to pay for additional standard features, though. Still, any further dip in Ford's stock is bad news this year. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the company's shares are down about 7.5 percent this year. On December 15, the price fell to $14.28, the lowest since November 10. Related Video:
