 Up for auction is a real nice example of a late 31 Ford Model A rumble seat coupe with the indented firewall.

I bought the car from a widow who said it was her husbands main obsession and play thing for the last few years.

It was bought as an old restoration that he was improving upon.  I loosened the inner panels for inspection and it looks to be extremely solid with the only repairs I could find was in the bottom of the front cowl, that was fixed very nicely with metal or lead, nothing else was found. 

At some point the car was treated to a frame off, as everything on the undercarriage looks to be rebuilt and detail painted.  And a plus is the fact it has been converted to hydraulic brakes that appear to be 46-48 vintage.  It has a new battery, 15 inch ford steelies with rings and caps and Firestone tires.

The interior is an older redo possibly a Labarron Bonney that is still in nice condition. It has good glass that appears to have a 60's greenish tint.

The car has nice bumpers and some of the nicest fenders I have ever seen on one of these.

I fired the car up in the shop and it seems to run fine, but with us being in the dead of winter I did no more than drive it around the yard.

I think it would be cool as can be with a flathead eight in it, but that's just me.

So if you are looking for a nice solid, straight model A coupe that has a great look already, here you go.  Good Luck

If you have any questions I can be reached at 507-456-2957.

P.S. The car has a clear 31 Ford Title.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.
