Vintage, 1952 Ford F - 1 Truck, Oh, if she could talk!.... this Gal has had a great life, so far! Yeah she's 61 years young, no body work other than what was done at the factory back in the day with lead, but with a very good paint job and both a rebuilt for "unleaded fuel", stock 239 CU. flat-head V-8 110 HP and the upgraded, rebuilt, mercury 3 speed manual (as mentioned w/ the solenoid overdrive), also added was/is power steering, she rides down the road a bit faster than the standard transmission that came with it back in '52, so she just purrs down the highway, (must mention that the trans mounting did require some fabricated modification),
( excellent workmanship! ) looks like it's meant to be the way it is.
I was honored to be allowed to drive this wonderful machine, she's just as smooth as can be, clutching to the next gear is smooth and actually so is the ride. (considering the fact that it's a truck)
(though in truth I only took her up to about 45 mph or so, in respect to the ol' gal, as well for my neighbor allowing me to drive her)!
Wow!... so cool! They just don't make anything these days to compare! Heck the metal alone could probably make 10 cars!
Back to the details; my neighbor Jim, is only selling this beaut' so that he can surprise his long loved & wed wife, with a special anniversary present, that she would not even expect! (it's well that her heart is strong!) (kudos, to him and their marriage!) she's been stored (the truck) during the winters in the garage within a moisture guard enclosure and in the summers garaged when not being shown or driven, as can be seen in the pictures both topside and undercarriage is in great shape! with just a bit of rust under her (see photos') but all in all very clean! Rebuilt in 2002, she's seen many shows and won her many well deserved trophies!
(Jim's a stickler when it comes to keeping all his vehicles, nicely detailed (he is meticulous!) in all areas including; maintenance of wheel bearings, hinges, ball joints, oil changes etc... you name it, it's cared for, whether needed or not! Hardly a day goes by, that he's not performing maintenance, or polishing his car(s)(including a mint condition '55 Packard Clipper) or this truck, tires in good shape, runs great, looks great, you can't ask for more, but wait, there is more, miles?
How about less than 12,ooo + - miles since the rebuild !!!
(speedometer out for a short bit of time,...no biggie!) since she was re-built! Plenty of high end offers over the years, but never did he consider selling until now, with their anniversary upcoming, ... (No he's not thrilled with letting her go, but, his wife takes precedence!)
(as it should be!...Donna is such a kind hearted and giving lady) (I wish I had the $$$doe! I'd gladly pay him his very fair price!)
Please by all means... ?s' are welcome!!! ... Last, but (by far) not least, words,
... you might be able to find as nice as her, in a museum somewhere!

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
