1931 FORD ROADSTER W/ RUMBLE SEAT

 

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL HOT ROD THAT WAS BUILT BY A RETIRED AIR CRAFT MECHANIC. THIS CAR WAS HIS BABY THAT HE DROVE UP UNTIL HIS HEALTH MADE HIM PART WITH HER. HE DEVOTED A LOT OF TIME AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL MAKING THIS LITTLE BEAUTY STAND TALL AND SEPARATE IT FROM ALL OF THE OTHER HOT RODS THAT WAS BUILT WITH AFTERMARKET PARTS.  HE TOOK HIS ALL STEELE HENRY FORD BODY AND SIT IT ON TOP OF A 1932 FORD FRAME THAT WAS BOXED FOR STRENGTH. THEN HE ADDED A 1948 FLATHEAD FORD 59AB MOTOR THAT WAS BORED AND BALANCED. THEN HE ADDED A LIGHTENED FLYWHEEL AND STROMBERG 97 CARBURETORS, OFFENHAUSER HEADS AND INTAKE MANIFOLD , AND A MALLORY IGNITION. HE BACKED THAT MOTOR UP WITH A CHEVY 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND A 9? FORD POSITRACTION REAR END W/ 4:11 GEARS. HE THEN CUSTOMIZED A 12 GALLON FUEL TANK SO THAT HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AND HE OVERHAULED THE 1950?S INSTRUMENTS TO SET THE DASH OFF.  THEN HE MADE ALL THE FINAL TOUCHES THAT ONLY A REAL OLD SCHOOL RODDER FROM BACK IN THE DAY COULD PULL OFF TO MAKE THIS JUST AN OUTSTANDING HOT ROD!!!

First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
