Covington, Georgia, United States

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.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.

Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo

Sun, 02 Nov 2014

Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
