Up for bid is my 1952 Ford F1 pickup. I would love to keep it and cruise it around but the land lord says I have to many cars so it must go. Here is a list of what has been done: - The top was chopped two inches -Blue metal flake roof -shaved trim -Lowered (axles swapped to top of spring) -New wood in bed -Crate Buick 350/350 trans -new aluminum Radiator -1951 Lincoln carb adapted to fit the bigger two barrel -Ford 9 inch -Metal flake grille -New wiring -1950 Packard taillights -Shaved bumpers -California Rust free car -Plymouth hood ornament This truck is a perfect running, driving custom truck that gets a lot of attention every where it goes. The body is not perfect but is perfect for a driver. The suspension feels like a stock truck and goes down the road straight. As you can see in the pictures there is a wheel stud missing on every wheel, this will be fixed by the end of the auction. Like an idiot I accidentally cracked the front window putting it in, fortunately its only on the passenger side and its only flat glass so its very easy to get new glass cut for it, I spend forty dollars for it. The door roll up glass is not installed but the passenger side is cut. All the other glass is there, wing windows back and front. I got the motor from a friend who told me it was a crate motor that was purchased in the 90s for his 54 merc but someone told him a chevy was better so it was pulled out. The motor supposively has only 1500 or so miles, but I have no way of proving this, but it runs very strong and shifts great. Before I got the truck someone had put ford 9 inch in. The top was chopped 2 inches with leaning the back window forward slightly to make up for the shorting of the roof. There is no overlayed metal and everything is completely welded. The 1950 Packard taillights were trimmed to fit the curve of the rear fending and give it a very custom look.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
