NOSTALGIC 1929 FORD
ROADSTER PICKUP THAT EVOKES THE
EARLIEST DAYS OF RODDING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DURING THE LATE 1930s AND EARLY
POST WAR ERA.
NO SMALL BLOCK CHEVY OR EVEN A FLATHEAD V-8 HERE BUT AN ORIGINAL MODEL A 4 BANGER WITH PERIOD SPEED PARTS INCLUDING A VINTAGE MALLORY DUAL POINT DISTRIBUTOR, VINTAGE THOMAS TWO CARB MANIFOLD AND MATCHING FINNED ALUMINUM HIGH COMPRESSION HEAD, CAST IRON SWEPT-BACK "HEADERS", AND MORE. CHASSIS AND DRIVETRAIN ARE TOTALLY AND FULLY REBUILT FROM FRONT TO BACK WITH ALL NEW BEARINGS, BUSHINGS, SEALS, SHACKLES, SPRINGS, SPINDLES, NEW BRAKE COMPONENTS INCLUDING SHOES, CYLINDERS, SPRINGS, DRUMS, AND HUBS. FULLY REBUILT ENGINE W/ NEW BABBITT, PISTONS, TIMING GEARS, VALVES, SPRINGS, ETC. NOTHING WAS OVERLOOKED. BRAKES ARE '48 FORD HYDRAULIC, DROPPED FRONT AXLE. CHASSIS IS "Z"ed AT THE REAR IN THE TIME HONORED WAY. BRAND NEW FIRESTONE WIDE WHITES. THE ONE CONCESSION MADE TO DRIVING ON MODERN ROADS IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL TRANNY WITH A T-5 FIVE SPEED WHICH DOES ABSOLUTE WONDERS TO CRUISING SPEED AND IT LOOKS TOTALLY NORMAL. THE PICKUP IS PAINTED IN "BATTLESHIP" GRAY SIMILAR TO WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BOUGHT AT AN ARMY SURPLUS STORE IN THE LATE FORTIES AND THE PAINT WAS APPLIED USING TECHNIQUES DEVELOPED TO GIVE IT A PATINA OF AGE THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DISTINGUISH FROM VERY OLD PAINT. A OLD WORN LEATHER COUCH WAS USED. CAREFULLY REMOVED THE HIDES, AND RE-CYCLED THEM TO UPHOLSTER THE SEATS AND INTERIOR GIVING THE INTERIOR A WARM, MELLOW LOOK AND FEEL. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS IS THE FUTURE OF RESTORATION, THE CAR WORLD HAVING BEGUN TO GROW TIRED OF THE ULTRA-SLICK, ULTRA-SHINY, OVER-RESTORED TRAILER QUEENS THAT HAVE PROLIFERATED AT CAR SHOWS IN RECENT YEARS. I THINK IT IS TIME TO PUT CARS BACK ON THE STREET AND USE THEM AS THEY WERE USED SO MANY YEARS AGO. ON THE ROAD, IT IS GREAT FUN, SOUNDS GREAT, AND GOES LIKE A MODEL A ON STEROIDS.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
Recharge Wrap-up: Grimsel electric car breaks acceleration world record, electric Ford Raptor ATV debuts
Sun, Nov 16 2014An all-electric version of the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is now available... as an ATV. Made by Caddyshack Golf Cars, it features officially licensed Ford badging borrowed from the super-macho pickup. It has a lifted chassis with leaf springs in the front and rear, hydraulic shocks and off-road tires. Powered by a 48-volt motor, it can do 0-25 mph in 2.9 seconds. Range is an estimated 30 miles - plenty to get you through 18 of the most rugged holes of golf you've ever played. Caddyshack also offers other miniature electric Fords, including a Shelby GT500, Shelby Cobra and 50th Anniversary Mustang. Read more at Green Car Reports. Lexus takes a crack at the BMW i3 in a new video from Funny or Die. In the decidedly anti-EV film, a group of guys drives to Las Vegas for a "dad-chelor party" in a Lexus CT 200h and a BMW i3. The Lexus hybrid makes it to Sin City without any problems, while the BMW's occupants need to make several lengthy stops to charge along the way, missing much of the fun. The video lampoons the inherent range limitations of the EV (the BMW group ends up driving slowly through the desert with no AC or radio to save energy), all in a well produced, if somewhat misguided, short comedy film. Perhaps they should have considered the i3 with a range extender? See the video below, or read more at Green Car Reports. Students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University have set a new EV acceleration world record. Their "Grimsel" racing car was able to zoom from 0-100 kph (0-62.137 mph) in just 1.785 seconds in less than 30 meters (98.425 feet), crushing the previous record of 2.134 seconds. Even more impressive is that the Grimsel was built by the students themselves, as part of the Formula Student team at the Academic Motorsports Club Zurich. The car weighs just 370 pounds and provides 200 horsepower and 1,202 pound feet of torque from the four hub motors. The Grimsel uses traction control to manage torque for maximum acceleration. See the record acceleration run in the videos below or read more at Gizmag, at Electric Autosport or in the press release from ETH Zurich below. 'grimsel' breaks world record The 'grimsel' electric racing car today broke the previous world record for acceleration in electric cars. The vehicle accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.785 seconds in under 30 metres. The new record was set by students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, who also designed and built the vehicle.
