1927 Model T Ford Four Door, Straight Steel Body, Many New Parts. Hard Work Done on 2040-cars
Hamilton, Michigan, United States
The Ford Motor model T commonly
known as the Tin Lizzie, is an automobile that was produced by Henry Ford's
Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908 to May 27, 1927. It is generally regarded as the first
affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class
American; some of this was because of Ford's efficient fabrication, including
assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting. The Ford Model T was named the world's most
influential car of the 20th century in an international poll. The Model T was the first
automobile mass-produced on moving assembly lines with completely
interchangeable parts, marketed to the middle class. Henry Ford said of the vehicle: "I will build a car for the great
multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the
individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials,
by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering
can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary
will be unable to own one – and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of
pleasure in God's great open spaces. Get yourself a great piece of
American history. Imagine this car could
have been the last car Henry Ford watched come off the line on May 27, of
1927. This car needs a new home and all
the hard work has been done. The motor
has been gone through and there is one new piston and new gaskets. Transmission has new forward and reverse
bands. The carburetor is rebuilt and
works well. This car wiring has completely
been replaced from key switch to all electrical parts, as well as the coil
boxes rebuilt. The car has electric
start on a 6 volt system, with a new battery, but also runs well off the
magneto. This four door car is all steel
and is very straight with very little rust.
All the window and door mechanics work but does need some glass
work. There are a few things that need
to be done. It will need new tires. The interior needs finishing and some glass replaced. There is a small box of parts that go along
with this car that has a horn and all the door parts. Good luck bidding. Any questions call 616.836.3424. Also check out Video on Youtube |

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks
Fri, 19 Sep 2014It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.
