1946 Ford Pickup on 2040-cars
Belgrade, Montana, United States
|
For sale are these 1942-1947 Ford 1/2 ton pickup body panels from a dry Montana truck - they are the only pieces for sale, not the chassis. I bought this for the frame and don't know much about the body except what I have to say here. Montana metal is the best! No road salt, dry climate - most of the original paint is still on the body! Why fight rust when you don't have too? If you blasted these, you'd have some solid parts to work with. Look at what these parts go for repro/used and you'll see this is a good package deal. Obviously, ask questions and shoot me an offer. You get: 1) Cab - very nice shape, only surface rust except cab floors (floors are rusty and need replacement panels), solid firewall/drip rails/window frames, uncut dash, includes valuable gauge cluster (not reproduced) and heater, comes with seat back springs (nice shape, still with some covering) but no bottom cushion, gas tank, reproduction passenger door (no drivers). I believe this cab fits 1937-47, but please check yourself. 2) Bed - fairly straight, has spare tire carrier, original metal floor covering, no tailgate, no wood subfloor. I believe this bed fits 1942-50 half tons, but please check yourself. 3) Rear Fenders - these aren't even reproduced except in fiberglass - no cancer but would need plenty of work repairing dents and tears 4) Running Boards - each has a 2 inch hole where pipe was welded on sticking upwards (not sure why), serviceable but would also need work Buyer is encouraged to inspect these in person; located in Belgrade, Montana, near Bozeman. Parts are sold as-is and where-is and buyer is responsible for asking questions before bidding, and for shipping. You get no title, frame or running gear with this, only the parts listed above. I require a $500 PayPal deposit and the balance in cash upon picking up the parts, which are loose from the frame and ready to load. I will be happy to answer any inquiries. Thanks! 406-594-3075 |

Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
