Up for bids is my 1922 Model T Ford "Doctor's" Coupe. If I'm not mistaken it also goes by several other nicknames, "Top Hat Coupe"," High Top Coupe" among others.

After twenty five years of restoring Model A Fords, I wanted to learn more about the "T" and bought a couple of "barn finds" got them running and driving then decided to buy a more reliable Model T. This is the one I chose.

This car has been around the Augusta area for years with a couple of owners who have since passed away. Knowing how nice this driver was, I bought it from the estate of the last owner and have enjoyed it ever since!

Even after the car had been stored for several years, it only needed the gas tank and fuel lines cleaned, a new set of spark plugs, plug wires a new battery and she cranked on the first turn! I also decided to install a fuel shutoff valve and replace the carburetor with a rebuilt Kingston NH from Lang's which made a world of difference. I also replaced the fan belt and water hoses. Now she starts easily every time and runs excellent both on battery and magneto!  All four wooden coils fire strong!

Unfortunately, the transmission bands needed replacing. Luckily I found a new set of Kevlar bands along with some extra parts that came with the car. Once they were installed, the car ran and drove as it did in 1922..... I would assume!

It also stops as well as it runs! Steering is tight. With the new Kevlar brake band  liner and the added optional Rocky Mountain drum brakes there is plenty of brake pedal and it seems to stop as well as my Model A.

Although I have no idea when or by whom the car was restored it is truly a very nice driver.

All of the glass is in excellent condition and the interior looks perfect especially with the beautifully restored steering wheel. Top is in excellent condition with no tears, worn areas or leaks. Do to the age of the restoration, the paint is showing some expected wear, nicks, etc. I have tried to picture most of the problem areas but the car still draws a crowd as is! I always receive many compliments!

Everything works on this "T" with the exception of the , "what appears to be," original speedometer. I would assume it would be operational but the cable and sprocket assembly that attaches to the right front wheel are missing. The formally kerosene cowl lamps have been cleverly altered to accept a socket and bulb and can be lit separately from the headlights. There is also an extra "STOP" light for safety.

I have never seen any leakage from the excellent radiator, engine, or drivetrain. No need to check the oil the old way by turning petcocks! Someone has installed a very helpful dipstick which works great and your hands stay clean!

The wooden spokes are in excellent condition, however, some of the tires are showing some surface cracking. No problem for short local trips but might be a concern for longer tours.

 

As much as I have enjoyed owning this "T" I need to make room for another recent vehicle purchase.

 

I strongly recommend anyone interested in bidding on this vehicle either visit Augusta, GA. or send their representative for inspection. I will be happy to show the car. anytime as long as arrangements are made in advance.

Takata adds millions to recall expansion in US [UPDATE]

Thu, May 28 2015

UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker has advised Autoblog that of the 1,509,535 total vehicles worldwide that the company is recalling, 966,504 of them are new additions for this expanded safety campaign. Last week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that the Takata airbag inflator recalls would expand to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. However at the time, automakers weren't sure specifically which of their models might be affected under this enlarged campaign. Now, the numbers for BMW, FCA, Ford, and Mitsubishi are being released by the agency. Additionally, Honda is outlining the broadening of its own campaign. BMW's recall amounts to 420,661 vehicles in the US, an increase from 140,696 previously. All of the following models need their front, driver's side airbag replaced: 2002-2005 BMW 325i/325xi/330i/330xi Sedan 2002-2005 BMW 325xi/325i Sportswagon 2002-2006 BMW 330Ci/325Ci/M3 Convertible 2002-2006 BMW 325i/330i/M3 Coupe 2002-2003 BMW M5/540i/525i/530i Sedan 2002-2003 BMW 540i/525i Sportswagon 2003-2004 BMW X5 3.0i/4.4i BMW has received no reports of any injures or deaths from this problem in its vehicles. FCA has 5,224,845 vehicles globally in need of inflator replacements, according to its statement. However, the company is only aware of one injury related to the issue, which occurred in a 2006 Dodge Charger in southern Florida. There are 4,747,202 vehicles worldwide from the company that are affected on the front, driver's side. Among these, 4,066,732 are in the US, 374,508 are in Canada, and the rest are in other countries. The models are: 2005-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup 2006-2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Pickup 2007-2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Cab Chassis 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 4500/5500 Cab Chassis 2008-2009 Sterling 4500/5500 Cab Chassis 2004-2008 Dodge Durango 2007-2008 Chrysler Aspen 2005-2010 Chrysler 300/300C/SRT8 2005-2010 Dodge Charger/Magnum 2005-2011 Dodge Dakota 2006-2010 Mitsubishi Raider Also, there are 438,156 vehicles in the US, according to the NHTSA documents, that need their front passenger's side inflators replaced in the expansion of an earlier regional recall: 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 The total number of vehicles from Ford now covered under these campaigns stands at 1,509,535 worldwide. Of this total, there are 1,380,604 in the United States, 93,207 in Canada and 16,953 in Mexico.

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
