1930 FORD MODEL A STANDARD COUPE in excellent condition. I purchased this car in 2007 and have put less than 1000 miles on it. It has been garaged since purchased. A new vinyl top and underlayment along with new wood rails were installed in 2008. No leaks.
This stunning example of a vintage Model A coupe underwent a complete restoration in 2007. It was stripped to bare metal, primed,and painted down to the frame. It was completely rebuilt. The exterior shows no sign of body filler nor rust from body to undercarriage. It is a very straight body all around.
The interior was redone using LeBaron Bonney in dark tan color and has no blemishes. Seat, door panels, and headliner are all in like new condition. Even the rumble seat was reupholstered. The dash was repainted and pinstriped as original. Chrome is in great shape and gauges and lights work. Has Motometer Wings radiator cap that still works.
Odometer currently shows 0250 but was at 901 when purchased. I cannot verify the actual mileage.
In 2011, the car was updated with a new radiator rock guard, six blade fan, 6 volt alternator, disconnect breaker, and new Altima battery. Brakes were redone as needed at the time and a complete safety inspection was done to insure its drivability. Runs smoothly and dependably. No leaks. Has hood props installed for added convenience. Has original style tube type white wall tires and spoke wheels.
Must see this car to really appreciate its condition Selling to make more room in my warehouse for business needs.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
The 11 most expensive American cars ever
Tue, 12 Aug 2014Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.
A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
