1930 Model A Sedan: This Hot rod has the 1945/1948 Ford Flathead, 239 cubic inch 59 AB 90-100 HP: 1937 Ford 3spd transmission: 1933 front end: 1931 rear end: 1939/1940 model brakes with frame mount master and pedals. Up-dated Alluminum radiator, new wiring, New brakes/master/wheel cylinders. Radiator Shell is new old stock from the 1960's. New Coker Classics: 560-15 on the front, L78-15 on the rear. This is not a new build but a restoration from a surviving vintage hot rod from the early 1950's. Many of the parts have been repurposed adding the 60 amp alternator that is not original to the Flatheads. The Lakes style headers are authentic to the period this car was built matching the design from the early A-V8 cars that were built. The Model a has a 4" chop with the body mounted back on the frame like it was originally built leaving the splash aprons attached. Painted in Satin red and gloss black PPG paint.
HISTORY: What is very cool about this Model A Sedan is that it was originally built between 1949 and 1952: After returning from the WWII many Vets wanted to go fast: finding the Model A servived the scrap drives, the 4 cylinder was modified many times to go as fast as possible on the back roads of Oregon and then North West Montana. With dreams of dry lake beds the Sedan began its transformation from family car to Hot rod in 1949 when the first of many Flathead V8's was installed. In 1950 a 1937 Flathead was installed and transmission:"the same tranmision still opperates today" also the 1933 front axle was installed. After a couple of years the Sedan was changed yet again to go even faster: a 1940 Flathead was installed along with juice brakes all the way around and by the end of 1952 the hood and fenders were removed along with front and rear bumpers and guards leaving the splash aprons. The result being the Model a A-V8 as they were called back then. The car opperated for many years between Oregon and Monatana where it was a daily driver. The Model A was never really all that fast, but it was loud and felt fast and that is all the mattered at the time. In 1987 the Sedan was once again torn down for a rebuild and restoration adding many new parts, the 4" chop and the 1945-1948 Flathead 239 59 AB along with many other plans were stalled for many years as the A V8 was passed from one family member to another finally being completed the last couple of years. I tried to get some old photos to pass on but due to illness and hospital visits I was unable to aquire any other than visits on the phone and stories passed on from the original owners family. I hope to who ever has the winning bid they keep the story about this car alive and pass it on. If you want to own a piece of Hot rodding history this is your car, a car we only read about but never find. An original Model A Ford A-V8 is a great thing to own! If you are looking for air ride suspension and air conditioning this is not your car! This Model A is priced to sell with a low reserve; anyone looking for a great vintage Hot rod can win this bid! Good luck and feel free to ask questions I will be happy answere them and if I can't I will do my best to find the answere for you!!

Ford Fusion demand outstripping supply
Sat, 15 Jun 2013The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.

Saab-powered Ford is the most unlikely drift car we've seen
Tue, Jan 19 2016Yes, you read that headline correctly. It's supposed to be a Saab-powered Ford, and not the other way around (although we fully support the notion of a Sonnet with a Flathead V8). Apparently, some lunatic in the UK took an ass-less 1953 Ford Anglia, paired it with a turbocharged Saab engine, and tuned the entire thing to go drifting. We like it. Called Urchfab, it's the subject of Carfection's (the blokes formerly known as XCar) latest video. Aside from looking like an extra from the British version of Mad Max, it has a problem with grip, in that there's just too much of it. This car is a fabber's dream, as we get to see its unnamed owner fashion new bits and bobs for the suspension before having an unfortunate encounter with a wall at Castle Combe. You can check out the full video up at the top of the page for a closer look at this monstrous Anglia. Related Video:
