This is a car that was built as a labor of love. The beginning was a clean,straight, rust free body, made by Henry Ford himself. Everything else was new, no expense spared. The frame is a TCI ordered as a stage III, with stainless independent front suspension, disk brakes,Ford 9",coil over springs. The engine is a brand new 350 Chevy ZZ4. These engines include aluminum heads with roller cam. The transmission is a T350 built by a local shop with a shift kit. The interior is leather, as is the rumble seat. The bottom cushion lifts out so the trunk can be used for storage. The car has power windows, vintage air conditioning (works great!),cruise control,Pioneer sounds,electric door latches. The car does have louvered hood sides, but the owner likes to show off the engine,so they are not shown in the photo,s. 
And then there is the matching trailer. It is painted to match the car,as are the wheels. There is room for the cooler on a rack on the tongue, and inside room for chairs,suitcases,pop-ups,etc, This takes care of the problem that Model A,s are not big cars. Although there is enough room in the trunk for day trips, if you are going to travel any distance,the trailer is perfect. It tows along like it is not there. In fact there is a small radio antenna that sticks up so you can assure that it is still back there. It has a custom bra which helps keep it clean as well as assure that the inside stays dry. 
There is much more to be told about this car, but I think this sets the tone. The car was built in 1998 and has always been stored inside in a very nice garage. It has been on several long cross country trips and always performed flawlessly. This car is ready to go. It is set up for traveling. Treat yourself to a fresh hot rod this year,get out and see America.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.

Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
