Here is one of my personal favorites so far!! 1952 Ford F-6 fire truck that was in service in Tennessee and sold from the fire house to the individual I bought from in 2007. At this point the truck had a full restoration including all new interior, glass, weather stripping, seals , paint interior and exterior , all new chrome, etc. With only 6,112 original documented mileage this truck is in amazing condition with no rust ever. Original flathead v8 starts and runs on a dime every time with no cooling problems. Added electronic ignition, new water pumps, rebuilt radiator, and full tune up. Very well detailed under the hood. Since I have owned it I have installed a 1952 period correct 4 speed full synchronized transmission ( 4syn) for easier driving and also had the drive shaft rebuilt. It has a fully functional 2 speed split shift rear end. From there had the hard to find 19.5 wheels added to get rid of the old 2 piece wheels. I had a complete brake job done including wheel cylinders, shoes, lines, hoses, drums, hardware kit, e brake lining, power assist, master cylinder axle seals and more. This truck stops great! All the fluids have been drained and filled. The truck has been completely rewired front to back with dual batteries installed. Full 12 volt battery conversion with battery isolator installed for running all the lights and etc.. Everything works on this truck mechanically and electronically. I have over 10,000 dollars in invoices for this truck that the previous owner had done between 2008 and 2009. That does not even touch the amount I have done in the past year myself. The two biggest things needed are the passenger side vent window needs replaced and the top of the driver side fender needs to be touched up where the paint has come off. The front lights on the bumpers are in perfect working condition I just have not wired them up completely yet. All the lights, siren, spots, etc.. all have been rewired and work great. I have never tried to pump water but its all complete and looks like it would work. All the gauges have been replaced for the pump (see pictures). The other added bonus is all the antique fire accessories that will come with the truck which is an easy 2,000 dollars worth of extras. I have collected enough parts from 3 trucks and planned on adding some of the accessories to this one. There is way to many parts to try to list here!!! Also have some of the original wheels, complete rebuilt set of brakes if ever needed, some extra 19.5 tires. When I bought the truck I towed it on a 20 foot heavy duty equipment trailer. Everything that comes with the truck should fit in the truck for easy hauling. This truck will also be for sale locally. Please email with any questions or to go over all the extra accessories.

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.
Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job
Tue, 07 Jan 2014When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
Ford family keeps special voting rights
Fri, 10 May 2013Ford Motor Company has a dual-class stock structure of Class A and Class B shares. The roughly three billion Class A shares are for the general public like you and me, while the roughly 71 million Class B shares are all owned by the Ford family. Each Class A share gets the shareholder one vote, each Class B share is worth 16 votes, the result being that Common Stock holders control about 60 percent of the company while the Ford family controls 40 percent even though it holds far fewer shares. The only way that could ever change would be if the Fords sell their Class B shares, but even so, Class B shares revert to Class A when sold outside the family, so they'd have to sell a whole bunch of them.
A contingent of Class A shareholders think the dual-class system is unfair, and for the past few years a vote's been held during the annual shareholders meeting to end it. It has failed every time, as it just did again during the meeting held this week. A smidge over 33 percent voted to end the dual system, outvoted by the 67 percent who are happy with the way Ford is going - unsurprising in view of a corporate turnaround that will be part of business-class curricula for years to come.
On the sidelines, Ford elected Ellen R. Marram to the post of independent director, the first woman to hold the job. The former Tropicana CEO and 20-year Ford board member replaces retiring board member Irvine Hockaday who helped bring Alan Mulally to the CEO position.
