1929 Ford Station Wagon- The forerunner of today's SUV- This Woodie was lovingly restored by an older gentleman and his friends from the Model A Club. It has all new mechanics, including a completely rebuilt engine. The wheels and many other items were powder coated to resist rust. It retains all the original 3 rows of seating, and the upholstery and top fabric has been done by LeBaron-Bonney Company. It is original Model A except for an alternator, seat belts, and signal lights. Oh, and a CB radio for events with the club. The restoration has been done for about 12 years and there is some wear from normal use. The pictures were taken right out of winter storage, and it will shine up nicely with a good wash. The custom made side curtains are authentic and store under the body in the factory sealed metal storage box. These are a must for those damp nights and chilly mornings. It has correct rain gutters, an accessory clock mirror and a Boyce Motor-meter to dress up the radiator. Also included is the original generator, a stainless steel gravel guard for the radiator, a jack, crank handle, engine splash pans, and another powder coated wheel and black wall tire.
This is a great car for family bonding, touring and conversation. It gets a lot of attention wherever it goes, and we reminisce of the good old days. I am classifying it as an above average driver. It is not a fresh restored car, but slightly used. I have chosen a fixed price auction and set a price that is very reasonable. It is an affordable classic woody that will only appreciate in value, but the experience is priceless. Please call with any questions Greg (860) 913-4680

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs
Sat, 14 Jun 2014He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.
Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
