1927 Ford Model "T" Phaeton/Touring May 26, 1927, Ford Motors halted production of the Model T and closed it assembly line for six months. Ford did not begin to sell cars again until October 20th, 1927. This meant in 1927 you could buy a Model "T" or a Model "A"titled as a 28. From January through May 1927, Only 221 Phaeton/Tourings were produced.Of the entire Model "T's" The 1927 Phaeton was the least produced T and production run ever for Ford. (Info from Ford Motor Company) In the earl y 70's, 40 or so years ago. Poli Form, in California was familiar with this car and invested 150K to develop 12, 27 Phaeton tubs and fenders formed from this cars original body. (This is the thickest, strongest tub body ever produced – no longer made) They converted to the new Tub and fenders, maintaining the original frame, springs , added a new front end, discs on front, tilt steering and all the original 1927 hardware items. Through most of the next 20 years this car was in storage. Since then, I’ve added a new dash, electrical system and more. 2013, All external parts on the engine, (dist., carb, ign.,alt. starter) where replaced new. {YES, IT has Originals Cragers, unblemished from the 70's} Also included are side curtains, only for pattern purpose, frames are good , fabric is not. I will answer all questions, preferably by phone for serious buyers. Compared to other similiar rigs, without as many features that have sold from 28K-42K , my reserve is quite low giving the buyer plenty of room for modifications to their taste and and opportunity for a rare car to make their own and later a recieve a substantial profit. This is a driver and there is minor work still to be done. What is left is to: Connect new installed gauges, lower firewall below steering column, and minor electrical connections.. Every thing to complete to show condition is included street rod, rat rod, custom, vintage, antique, show |

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak
Thu, 16 Jan 2014A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
