  Conclusion

 

  Up for bid is my 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Town Sedan. I purchased this beautiful car from the same family that owned it since 1955. I knew the son who is now 62 years old and who’s father purchased this car for his wife as a second car in 1955. This car started life out just as you see it and was restored about six to seven years ago from a beautiful strait example as you will see from the pictures using all the original sheet metal from what I can tell and is just stunning throughout. I am sure I do not have to tell you how hard it is today to find cars like this but when you do and they are done like this is the results are just beautiful and will last a life time.

Let me begin that when this car was restored they did a complete body off the frame nut & bolt high quality restoration from bumper to bumper and all the mechanicals as well with less than two thousand miles since. This is a Murray factory body and still has the tag on the firewall. It is an early 1930 example and one of the first cars built in the year and was always a complete black car. The paint as you can see is just stunning in everyway anyplace you look with no cracking or spidering or shrinkage of any kind and the results are of AACA show quality level. The mileage of 79,736 we believe to be original since new in 1930 looking at notes and talking to the family. You can see that the brake & clutch pedals and little ware to them that would back this up and this was the reason I did not want to cover them with the add on rubber pedals, which by the way if the new buyer wants I will include a set with the car, just remind me. The fit on the entire body is of the very best I have seen and there is not a wave or sign of any body work to be found. I had the red pinstripe done as per judging and because of this being an early 30 car and all black it calls for Red Vermilion stripe as later in the year around September Ford went to Apple stripe. The interior in this car was also done to a very high correct level with over eight thousand spent just on the inside and has all the correct three sets of shades and pull straps along with the original rear interior light that came only on the deluxe town sedan. The top is the same level of quality and to be honest I don’t I have had anyone sit in the back, it’s that new. All the stainless is in great shape with no dings and the bumpers are all stainless rather than chrome plated and in my opinion much better even though they cost a lot more they are well worth it. The car comes with the moto-meter with the wings and has the running board step plates as well. The car is equiped with a 6-Volt alternator for better driving during evenings with the lights on. The underside right now is a little dusty and I took the pictures before I really did a good detail as I like to do but so far is coming out beautiful as there are not many miles on the restoration. The cars runs and shifts just beautiful as you can see & hear from the videos and all the glass and windows are perfect and everything is in top working order. The one thing that you should do is put a windshield wiper motor. The original was sent out to be restored and we never got it back. I will go through what I have and if I have one I will give it with the car. Just to add another note, there was directional signals installed and done properly with no ugly extra add on lights and work through the cowl lights and double tail lights and with cars today on modern roads I think it is a must for safety so long as they are done right like this.

Well I know I am going on here but this car is so special of an example that it will be very hard pressed to find and example like this for the money. I have priced this car low with a reserve under $ 20,000 and the reason I am mentioning this is to let you know its here to sell and you may never find a beautiful example like this car for the money. The last one I sold that I had owned sold for $ 4,000 to 5,000 more than the reserve I have here and this is better in some ways and the fact it was not passed to many owners and keep all original and not pieced together. Best of luck to all.

Weekly Recap: An '80s encore in the auto world

Sat, Jul 11 2015

The '80s returned in a big way this week, as National Lampoon's, Ghostbusters, Miami Vice, and even Tetris were back in the news. While there were far more serious topics (see below), nostalgia mingled with modern marketing to put these Reagan-era favorites back in the spotlight. The '80s were alternately cold and corny at times, but their cultural touchstones can still generate big money. That's why Infiniti recreated an iconic scene from National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) for an advertisement that hawks the QX60 crossover. Actor Ethan Embry, who played Rusty Griswold in a later Lampoon's movie, pilots the Infiniti – which is serving as a modern Family Truckster – for a trip to Walley World. A blonde pulls alongside in a red Lamborghini. They flirt, and she drives on. Christie Brinkley, who played the original girl in the red sports car (she drove a Ferrari in the '83 flick), is riding shotgun and chides Embry with: "A blonde. In a convertible. Seriously?" Okay, it's hardly on the level of "here's looking at you," or even "you can't handle the truth," but it should resonate with '80s babies, many of whom are now having children of their own and moving into three-row SUVs like the QX60. Naturally, Hollywood is going back to the well, too, with a Vacation remake that premiers July 29. Meanwhile, Ghostbusters is returning next year, and director Paul Feig offered a peak at the new Eco-1 in this tweet. In the 1984 classic, the team drove a modified 1959 Cadillac. Now, it will drive a late '80s Cadillac. As expected, the announcement generated support and controversy from movie and car enthusiasts. His tweet had generated several thousand retweets and favorites in the days following the news. Though the '80s Caddy looks, uh, less elegant in comparison to the now-iconic fins and curves of the original Ecto-1, it's about the same time lapse into the past as the '59 Caddy was to viewers in 1984. Speaking of 1984, Miami Vice, which debuted that year on NBC, is seeing one of its hero cars hit the auction block, Mecum Auctions announced this week. The 1986 Ferrari used on the show will be offered for sale Aug. 15 during Monterey classic car week. The white supercar runs a 390-hp flat 12-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission and was in storage after the show ended in 1989 until earlier this year. It has 16,124 miles on the odometer and is authenticated by Ferrari North America and Classiche.

Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang - the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.
That might not be correct. According to Road & Track, citing a report from Mustangs Daily, the new range-topping Mustang will bring back the Shelby GT350 name - currently used on an aftermarket version of Ford's Pony produced by Shelby American (take a look at our recent Quick Spin of that car). Expect the new GT350 to be quite a bit different than the current GT500 - it will be all motor, using a V8 that's derived from the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engine (though it will no doubt have a higher displacement). The GT350 will be a lot more powerful than the next Mustang GT, which is expected to offer something like 450 horsepower, but won't be quite as absurd as the 662-horsepower GT500 we currently enjoy.
The Shelby GT350 will reportedly bow with the rest of the new Mustang range at the 2014 New York Auto Show, which coincides exactly with the original Mustang's debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. If that seems far out, don't worry, we'll be seeing the rest of the 2015 Mustang range before then, but Road & Track reports that the 2014 Detroit Auto Show stage will be reserved for the reveal of the next Ford F-150 pickup.

Gary Cooper's 1935 Duesenberg SSJ fetches record price at Pebble Beach

Mon, Aug 27 2018

The 1935 Duesenberg SSJ formerly owned by Gary Cooper sold for a jaw-dropping $22 million over the weekend at the Gooding & Co. Pebble Beach auction, setting a record for the most valuable pre-war car ever sold at auction. It also appears to have become the most expensive American collector car ever sold at auction, eclipsing the very first Shelby Cobra ever made, which sold for $13.75 million in 2016. The Duesenberg was also the lone American-made entrant in the list of top 10 sellers, which was crowded with the names Ferrari and Porsche. You have to go all the way down the list to No. 21 to find the next American car: a 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Phaeton, which sold for a mere $1.127 million. All told, Gooding & Co. said it realized more than $116.5 million in auction sales over the weekend, with a whopping 25 cars sold for north of $1 million, an 84 percent sales rate and an average transaction price of $947,174. Clearly this is how the other half 1 percent lives. Gooding & Co. said there were five world-record sales at the auction. Joining the Duesenberg were a 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Series II, which sold for $5.005 million; a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta, $6.6 million; a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale, $3.41 million; and a one-of-two 1966 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta GT, $3.08 million. Oh, and that 1969 Ford Bronco test vehicle we told you about? The one that was rebadged by Holman & Moody as a Bronco Hunter? It sold for $121,000, which was well below the expected range of $180,000 to $220,000. Perhaps it was the presence of all those gorgeous Porsche Spyders and Ferraris that meant collectors weren't interested in boxy, utilitarian off-roaders. View 24 Photos Gooding and Co. had expected the convertible Duesenberg coupe to go for more than $10 million. It was one of only two of its kind built by Duesenberg — the other having gone to Clark Gable — with a specially shortened, 125-inch wheelbase and a supercharged straight-eight with double overhead cams, able to produce around 400 horsepower and a top speed of 140 miles per hour. It features a lightweight open-roadster bobtail body produced by LaGrande out of Connersville, Ind. The car was also owned at one point by race driver Briggs Cunningham.
