I am selling this 1930 Model A Tudor that I purchased from the heirs of a fellow who had died. I'm inclined to call it "barn fresh" but cannot as some restoration has been done on it. It has very nice sheet metal which makes it a good potential for restoration. You may not have to buy any sheet metal for it, but that is your decision. I, personally, would buy only new running boards/splash aprons for it. I would use all the rest of it - including the extra front passenger fender that I am including with it.

Following are my visual observations of it:

---Hood - nice, but two very small dents on one side which can be filled with body filler. The louvers are nice.

---Fenders - there are none of the "normal" breaks found on most original fenders, that normally require a weld. The drivers front fender, and both rear fenders are solid with some small denting. The passenger side front fender is pretty bad

so I will send another, much nicer fender with the car.

---Cowl - on the drivers side there is some rust out, which you can buy a patch for, or do what I have done, which is cover it with fiberglass (6 years ago-still nice and not noticeable) (see picture). Also 2 holes drilled - antenna??? Passenger

side is good.

---Doors - drivers side is good, no rust thru or holes on bottom. Passenger side has some rust thru on lower outside, but not on door bottom. Can buy patch for it or fix with fiberglass.

---Body - behind doors (both sides) and around the back - looks fine.

---Body frame - this part of a car, if it is rusted out, is difficult to fix. On this car, except for one place (the short 45 degree piece by the clutch pedal), this body frame is strong and looks fine. You can replace this one piece if you wish, but I

don't feel it is necessary as body frame is strong and this piece is covered by the floor mat.

---Gas tank - looks fine.

---Windshield frame - what I can see and feel look fine.

---Glass -- back window and 3 side windows look fine, one side window has a crack in it.

---Windshield - there is some separation between the pieces so it should be replaced, especially with safety glass so one doesn't severely hurt themselves in an accident.

---Roof -- a limb fell on it and dented it..

---Interior wood - Looks like it may have been replaced because it appears solid,, except for the piece over the windshield which perhaps should be replaced. The roof bows and chicken wire in the roof all look good as if they have been

replaced.

---Dash = is complete but rusted. The speedo reads 10,100 miles - original ????

---Floor boards - basically useable and solid, except for the piece in the back seat foot rest, which has a few soft spots which may or may not need replacing.

---Radiator - looks good, in fact it is an ORIGINAL which is unusual to find one still in use - maybe the mileage is correct???

---Radiator shield - very nice.

---Lights - nice buckets but seal beams. All original internal parts are available from vendors (repro parts which are fine). One tail light is present.

---Tires - four (4) NEW tires on the car.

---Horn - one present but not original Model A type.

---Wiper - original vacuum type Model A style.

---Steering wheel - not bad, is restorable.

---Interior moldings --side windows and back window are present.

---Handles - missing one door handle.

---Firewall - decent with couple of extra drilled holes, and larger hole for heater manifold plus one extra approx. 2" hole

---Motor - stuck but complete with generator, starter, water pump, coil, carburetor.. No restoration here that I can see.

---Chassis - complete with differential, tranny, clutch housing, and frame. But no visible restoration done on it.

---Title -none, heirs were unable to locate it.\

---Running Boards - solid, no rust thru, but horizontal parts (that you step on) are welded on plates. This will require

you do drill holes in them for bolts to fasten them to frame braces/ You can still cover these with normal rubber covers

but there would be small bumps in the rubber where the bold heads are.

---Seats - front seat frames present and look okay, rear seat wooden frames also present and look fine. Some springs are present, but I wouldn't use them.

This car is the basis for a nice restoration because the sheet metal is in such good condition. The mechanical parts are such that

a "Sunday mechanic" can do much of his own work, especially with the number of restore/repair manuals available.

THERE IS NO TITLE TO THIS CAR. THE HEIRS OF THE OWNER COULD NOT LOCATE IT. I HAD TO FILL IN THE TITLE BLANK IN ORDER TO LIST IT. IN MY PERSONAL PAST, I HAVE HAD A TITLE CREATED FOR A CAR I HAD PURCHASED, SO I KNOW IT CAN BE READILY DONE. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS FACT DETRACT FROM YOUR PURCHASE OF THIS CAR, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A TITLE CREATED. I wanted to put "No title" in the title spot, but it wasn't allowed.

A tribute to William Clay Ford

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.

Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.

What to see at the Detroit Auto Show 2023

Thu, Sep 14 2023

The 2023 North American Auto Show — also known as the Detroit Auto Show Â— is underway downtown. If you want to attend the public days of the show taking place September 16-24, hereÂ’s what you need to know about attending. But now that Autoblog has done our reconnaissance during the showÂ’s press days, we can tell you about the actual cars (and other things) you can see and experience. WhatÂ’s new? Ford The big new item from Ford is the 2024 F-150 pickup. You can check out the new trick tailgate, and see what the fuss is all about. The 2024 F-150 Raptor also debuted at the show, if you like high-power, off-roady full-size pickups. The show will also be a good opportunity to see the Mustang Dark Horse and Mustang Mach-E Rally up close and personal. Unfortunately, we only saw the wild 2025 Mustang GTD at an offsite event during press days, but it's quite possible Ford will roll it out for the public. Cadillac Cadillac revealed its refreshed 2025 CT5 at the Detroit show, and you can get a look at the revised front and the new tech-focused interior. Cadillac recently unveiled the all-electric 2025 Escalade IQ, so you can stop and see the most powerful Escalade ever while youÂ’re there. It wasnÂ’t on the floor during media days, but Cadillac told us theyÂ’d bring it for the public part of the show. Jeep Jeep unveiled its 2024 Gladiator at the show, and you can check out the new interior and trim levels in person at the Jeep stand. Jeep also has an indoor track set up for ride-alongs. If you havenÂ’t had the chance to see the refreshed 2024 Wrangler yet, you can see that, too, along with examples from the rest of the Jeep lineup, along with its Stellantis sibling, Ram. GMC GMC showed off the new, larger 2024 Acadia SUV for the Detroit Auto Show. ItÂ’s bigger than before, but does more to differentiate itself from its Chevy cousin, the Traverse. GMC also has its Sierra EV on display if youÂ’re interested in catching that in person. What else to see A number of automakers have large displays at the show with many of their models represented. In addition to those who debuted something new at the show, Buick, Chevrolet (check out the Silverado, Blazer and Equinox EVs, as well as the Corvette E-Ray), Lincoln with the new Nautilus, Toyota (get a look at the new Tacoma), Volkswagen, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, Mini, Volkswagen, Honda, Chrysler (the Airflow concept is there), Fiat, Ram and Dodge (see the Charger Daytona SRT concept) all have a sizable presence.
