Beautiful looks of a 1931 Ford Phaeton with modern day ammeneties enough to make it an oustanding cruise car / mild hot rod. Most people automatically call this a "kit car", but look closely .... it was built in a factory at West Palm Beach, Florida in 1977, and is VIN 1067 of around 1500 vehicles made. The company is known by two names : "Glassic" and "Replicar".
The earlier models were built with four cylinder engines and truck style manual transmissions ... they look about the same, but were real dogs to drive!! This little gem has the strong and popular Ford 302 cu. inch that successfully powered many of the Mustangs, and a good 3spd. automatic transmission. Most of these have been customized in one way or another, but this girl is factory original to the bone! She drives great ... so quick that you may need to go easy on the accelerator to keep from being arrested for squeeling tires!
We have enjoyed this car for about six years ... a couple of them at home in Maine and the rest of them here at our winter place in Florida, where she sits with me today. Kind of hate to see her go, but we just don't get to use it much, and ..... I need a tractor! So I guess it's time.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.

Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
