1931 Model A Ford Flathead V8

Car was built in 1959 like it is. I've tried to keep it as close as possible to that. I have replaced the following: new Coker bias ply tires, all wheel cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, inner and outer rear axel seals, full dual exhaust, magna flow stainless steel mufflers, 6 volt battery.

Glass is in great condition, all windows roll up & down, doors close nicely. New roof. I've added turn signals and right rear tail light for safety. Still running stock gas tank which has been boiled out. All factory gages work. Oil and temperature gage are from a 1957 Jaguar and both work. Engine is a 1948 Ford flathead, runs strong - pulls 20 inches of vacuum at idle. Tranny is 1937 Ford 3-speed. Rear end is stock banjo. Frame is Stock Model A. 1949 Mercury reversed rims. 1960 Chevy truck master cylinder also has original ansen swing pedals. All lights and charging system work great. Stock front seats. I have front and rear bumpers, spare tire and mount and rear seat upper spring frame - I have lower seat springs, not correct but will go with car anyway. I also have hood sides. I've put a super bell 4 inch dropped axle and all tie rod ends, needle bearing, king pins, and pitman arm. I've also had shocks installed all around. Steering wheel is 1940 Ford. Heater fan works. I've never hooked it up to the engine so I don't know how core is. I was told it was out of a 1940 Ford. Brake system is 1948 juice breaks. There is a little rust on the right rear quarter panel lip and some small pinholes at bottom lip of doors (see pictures). That is the worst part on the cars body. The body is tight. There are no patch panels on this body - what you see is what you get. Body wood is also in very good condition. Car is not chopped or channeled. Front fenders are 50+ year old fiberglass in very good shape. Rest of car is all original steel.

Problems: Steering box needs rebuild. Car has front wheel wobble at low speed. The wobble goes away over 30mph. Transmission pops out of 2nd gear when coming down in high rpm (just started doing this). There are no other issues with the car.

I do have some knowledge of cars history as told to me by cars previous owner. Car is currently registered and inspected. Car was said to be primer red in the early 60's. It was grey when built in 1959. Car was also autographed by Candy Clark from American Graffiti (see pictures). Car is located in Nazareth, PA if you want to come look. Car is for sale locally I reserve the right to remove from eBay at any time.

Any questions please call Don at 917-861-6597.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:
