1937 Ford Pickup Model 73 Half-Ton F-85 Flathead V8 - 3pd Full Frame Off Restoration Completed In 1999 High Quality Restoration Still Look's Excellent With Less Then 5,000 Miles Since Completion. One Gorgeous Pickup!
Description:
Ford restyled its line of pickup trucks for 1935 with a more curvaceous grille, skirted fenders and a laid-back windshield. The new trucks enjoyed phenomenal success, especially surprising given that the country was in the depths of the Great Depression. That success was enough to convince the company to continue the line virtually unchanged in the years ahead, including 1937. One short-lived change was the introduction that year of a downsized economy version of the 221 CI flathead V-8, but a severe lack of power was its undoing and the factory soon dropped it from the equipment list. Another innovation for 1937 was a new 2-piece split-vee windshield, which gave better visibility and made the truck’s cozy cabin seem a little roomier. This 1937 Ford Model 73 half-ton pickup is typical of the utilitarian nature of that line. The truck features straight sheet metal all around, with Medium Green paint on the cab and pickup bed and matching fenders, running boards are black finished with chrome wheels. Its full-bore 221/85 HP flathead A engine resides in a fully restored engine compartment finished as it would have appeared in 1937, including a downdraft Stromberg 97 carb with oil bath air cleaner. The Ford’s purposeful interior has been restored with the correct material for the seats and floor mats and is typical of the vintage, employing operating gauges and a 100 MPH speedometer in a twin-gauge instrument panel. A few period correct items have been installed like dual mirrors, blinkers, rear view mirror with clock etc. Completing this rare ‘30s pickup is a restored cargo box that remains unused and completely fresh.

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares
Fri, 28 Jun 2013Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.
Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars
Thu, 10 Jul 2014It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."
