A lot of newer street rodders don't appreciate the vintage ‘29 Ford as much as their 32's but this one is sure to give them a run for their money. It is done in such a way as to combine the two looks into one cool machine. The major difference is you can get this one for a fraction of the price! A lot of the street rods around nowadays are new age fiberglass but this one is an ALL STEEL Henry Ford body. That means it was created and rolled out of the factory 85 years ago! The fact that it is still around and laser straight is absolutely amazing! The 1929 Ford body is nicely mounted to the 32' Ford frame giving it some extra length for the chrome spreader bar. The front end looks even more like a 32' with the addition of the 32' steel grill shell. The chrome grill has a great shine along with the Ford logo and trim. The body, frame, and grill shell are all coated in bright yellow and is buffed out to a great shine. Pin striping by the legendary Larry West who designed the Coors graphic on Bill Elliott’s NASCAR T-Bird. When we say this is a nostalgic old-school hot rod we should probably explain what we mean. It's not that this car was done in this style recently. No. This style actually started the trend in the late 50s and early ‘60s! Being built in the late 50's this is what people are after when they are currently building "old school" rods. The car was later restored in 2000, refreshed in 2011 and refreshed again in 2013. Large chrome front headlights and circle frenched purple-dot taillights. The trunk utilizes all chrome hardware including the hinges and is louvered. In true nostalgia style the car rolls around on American Racing Torque Thrust D wheels with white wall tires (all with fewer than 300 miles). And 4-wheel disc brakes added last year.

Engine was torn-down and rebuilt by TDS in Covington (Travis Domini, who has built 4 motors for me, both for street and strip. I swear by him.) replacing what needed to be replaced. Runs GREAT! Less than 300 miles since rebuild.

The interior of the car is nicely finished out with two Black bucket seats that are very comfortable. The dash is topped with Stewart Warner wing gauges mounted in a nice brushed bezel. On the floorboard is mounted the Lokar shifter. An aftermarket steering wheel is nicely mounted in place with a nice chrome horn button. To the column a tachometer has been added and works just as it should. All of the rubbers have been replaced on the car when it was entirely gone through.

So, what’s wrong with it? A minor sign of wear on the left rear upholstery panel (see pic). The speedometer is not accurate. There is a gizmo to correct that but I have never bothered with it. Parking brake is not working. It is the drive shaft parking brake variety.

This is NOT a show car. It is a fun, nostalgia hot rod meant to be driven and enjoyed.

Cars of this age are not titled in Georgia where the car resides. It does have Texas title.

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards

Thu, Jan 15 2015

The annual EyesOn Design Awards at the Detroit Auto Show allows some of the greatest designers in the world to weigh in on the best production and concept debuts at the big event each year. For 2015, the large panel of judges included luminaries like Frank Stephenson of McLaren, Ralph Gilles from FCA and Moray Callum of Ford. Apparently the editors at Autoblog had a good eye because the winner of 2015's Best Designed Production Vehicle award went to the Ford GT, which was also our favorite debut from the show. The new supercar beat the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe for the honor. The judges described the Blue Oval's shape as "capturing the original GT40 in a modern interpretation," according to EyesOn Design. The Buick Avenir was also a big winner in the awards this year and received the nods for both Best Designed Concept Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials. In the concept category, it beat out the Chevrolet Bolt and Mercedes-Benz F 015, and in the latter group, the sedan triumphed over Audi Q7, Mercedes F 015 and Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE. The Q7 received its own accolade for Best Designed Interior, and it beat the Avenir and Infiniti Q60 for the honor. This year's Lifetime Design Achievement Award went to former Renault designer Patrick le Quement, and Bob Lutz received the EyesOn Design Catalyst Award for the second time. The honor is for an executive "who has empowered great design," according to the organization, which describes Lutz perfectly. Scroll down to read the announcement with more comments about the winners.

The awards honor the most significant automotive designs revealed at NAIAS as determined by the North American and global leaders of design from automotive manufacturers, along with academic chairs of transportation design programs and design leaders from other fields.

Ford profits soar as problems mount

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
