Ford 1930 Model A Coupe This car was restored back in the late eighties (1989) it is all metal and there is no rust-out anywhere. Paint is good for it's age, not a show car by any means, but very nice, with a few minor scratches that come along the way. Fenders,splash aprons and running boards very nice as is the body, excellant condition. Engine, transmission, and rearend were all completely overhauled and the engine was done at a professional shop and starts and runs just fine. Uphol. is very nice as the pictures indicate, it has been in many parades and driven frequently. The tires are fare to poor and at some point need replaced, I would not tour with them, short drives, but not tour. I have just replaced the water pump and fan with new ones from Snyder's. Also new gas shut-off and fuel lines and sedimate bowl. The car does need a ring gear on the flywheel, every now and then the starter will not engage, it is easy to insert the crank and roll the engine over slightly and everything is fine. ( I will price the car in relationship to this problem). I believe the pictures speak for themselves, any questions 605-791-1497
I will require a $500.00 down payment through pay-pal with-in 24 hrs of auction closing, the balance to be paid by wire transfer from your bank to mine, no exceptions. Car must be paid for in full before leaving. To be sold in the 48 United States ONLY! Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. No warrenties expressed or implied. Look at my feedback and bid to own this nice little coupe. Thanks for looking and good-luck!

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
