1929 Ford Model A 4 Door Town Sedan on 2040-cars
Worth, Missouri, United States
1929 Model A 4 Door Town Sedan. While looking for a hot rod project, I ran across this Model A in January of 2008. The car was in a "Barn" where it had been parked since the owners passing. I purchased the car from his 88 year old Widow. Since the car was so complete I didn't have the heart to do anything but restore it. A local Model A/T enthusiast helped me get it running. I had trouble with it overheating, I had the head checked, installed a new head gasket, installed a new water pump that looks original without the need to adjust packing, still having problems, I ordered a new replacement radiator from "Snyder's"... PROBLEM SOLVED! I then proceeded to "Juice" the brakes where I ran all over the country side to swap meets finding the parts so I could maintain its original integrity. I have only made mechanical upgrades/improvements. With the exception of the wheels (which were orange) the interior and exterior is how I found the car. It is not a perfect show car, but is a fun show and parade car that I have driven (not hauled) as far as 150 miles to show or just to drive. I drove it approximately 80 miles on May 4th, 2014. It has a couple of mouse holes in the passenger front seat as shown. Paint has a few chips. It might puff a little smoke on a long hard uphill pull, All and all a pretty good old car. Young and old alike love to see and hear you drive by! Any Questions call 660-448-2708. $500.00 down payment. Buyer responsible for shipping. 85 Year Old Car AS IS.

William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88
Sun, 09 Mar 2014William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."
Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
Mustang Cobra Jet prototype garners $200k for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Wed, 02 Oct 2013A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.
