A schedule of events for the Grand Opening at 6865 Hickory Road, Hickory Corners, MI 49060 can be found at: http://www.maffi.org/My_Homepage_Files/Download/GrandOpeningSchedule- Rev4.pdf. Information about their transmission and tire raffle, which are being raffled off to support the museum, can be found at: http://www.maffi.org/My_Homepage_Files/Page10.html. Photos below show some of the progress, but please visit http://www.maffi.org/index.htm for information and photos. Diane Kory asked to have the following public service notices posted in the Distributor. FORD TRUCKS We are very fortunate to have Bob Friskies and James Nierman presenting their knowledge about Ford Trucks between 1928-1931 at our April Meeting. I did not have much knowledge about trucks, focusing the majority of my time on learning some of the ins-and-outs of the cars. Jim kindly provided me an interesting article from the December 2012 Auto Restorer that features a 1930 Model AA Ford Truck. According to the article, the Ford AA, a one- and-one-half-ton capacity vehicle, succeeded the Ford Model TT which was a result of Henry Ford recognizing that offering a truck would be a sound idea for his company. The following are some key differences that are worth noting in case someone asks about the Ford Model AA. First, the front suspension is much heavier on the truck. Disc wheels and a four speed transmission were introduced in 1929 and 1930 saw the addition of a 157 inch wheelbase. The AA was not introduced for heavy freight, but rather to carry bulky items. Many of the truck parts are heavier, although some features, such as the doors, cowl and windshield are interchange with those on the Tudor. The radiator shells are also interchangeable, except that the shell on the AA is deeper and also is straight across the top, as opposed to the heart shape top found on the cars. The radiator is also different, where the truck uses a four-row core as opposed to a three-row core radiator. Photos above show just some of the trucks made by Ford. FORD TRUCKS IN TEXAS I was sent to Texas for work at the end of February/beginning of March. As you would expect, the weather in the Southwest was much more favorable then Chicago. I was unfortunately unable to get away to the Texas Transportation Museum (http://www.txtransportationmuseum.org/index.php), but wanted to point it out in case anyone else is in the neighborhood. Of particular interest is a nice 1929 Ford model AA truck that is on permanent loan to the museum. Below are some photos of the truck. In addition, while I was walking back to the hotel, a 1931 Model A pickup truck passed by, complete with 1931 Texas license plates. I was unable to capture a photo, but found that its owner is a member of the Alamo A’s in San Antonio (http://www.alamomodela.com/). To the right are photos from their website of the pickup truck. The Fashionable Model A Era (1928-1931) Horsehide Leather From the start of the 1930s, when the fist zippered leather jackets were made, to end of the 1950s when supplies of good horsehide became scarce, half belted horsehide jackets were produced by countless local producers across North America. The fact so many of these jackets still exist today, in eminently wearable condition, is a tribute to their manufacturer and the fact that they were made using U.S. Chrome Tanned Front Quarter Horsehide. Similarly, horsehide boots were advertised in countless magazines, such as the Country Gentleman. A number of people say that horsehide boots are tough to break in, but once broken in are fantastic. Today, vintage horsehide jackets and boots are considered highly treasured collectibles. High end companies, such as Aero Leather in Scotland, produce popular Front Quarter Horsehide jackets in a variety of styles. These are great because they can be worn while driving your ‘A’ or ‘AA’. Trouble Shooting Follow-Up For those who missed a great seminar at Ken Ehrenhofer’s Forty Horse Barn, we have summarized a few things to remember when your car suddenly stops working (thank you Jim Patterson for the summary). I. SPARK: 1. Remove sparkplug wire leaving ¼” gap key on, crank engine see spark then you know: a) Ignition system good b) Rotor is turning c) Points are opening and closing d) Condenser is working e) Pop out is ok f) Coil is fine 2. If no spark: a) Points closed b) Condenser bad c) Pop out faulty d) Loose wire e) Gap gone f) Rubbing block ware 3. Tests a) Pass side terminal box if lights ok; if no light check for loose connection; battery ground; blown fuse. b) Driver side terminal box if light ok: if no light ammeter bad replace it c) Coil black wire if lights ok: if no light black wire bad. d) Coil red wire light ok: no light coil not good replaces it. e) Movable side of points KEY ON light when open ok: if no light new points needed.

Not only for agreeing to be my mentor throughout my honors senior project, but for also suggesting valid points to make within my essay and final PowerPoint presentation that would better my research. I appreciate Professor Lillie for taking the time out of his schedule to meet with me during his office hours to discuss ideas and interesting facts that would be essential to crafting my essay. I would also like to recognize my cousin Neleze Meadows for helping me in narrowing down my broad topic to solely focusing on the evolution of Ford auto-motives.

    "Ford Model AA Oil Tanker Truck" 1930 Ford Model AA 185A Platform Rated: 1-1/2 Ton Motor: 4 Cylinder, 201 CID, 40 HP 6 Volt Battery w/positive ground Brakes: Mechanical Tire Size: High Pressure 32-6 Transmission: 4 Speed Manual non synchronized Fuel Capacity: 11 Gal. Gasoline Truck Body: Briggs and Murray Cargo Body: Columbia Steel Tank Co. Steel Tank Capacity: 625 Gal. Features: Rear cantilever leaf springs Wheel Rims: Bud 5 hole Rear End Type: Single Axle, ring and pinion differential w/dual tires Wheel Base: 157" Service trucks were used for many purposes. This Tanker Truck had three separate internal tanks for different fuels. The most common fuel used was gasoline, kerosene, for lamps, and fuel oil for home furnaces. Each tank could be dispensed independently. All Model AA chassis had wood mounted on the chassis before any structure was added. The five hole steel wheels, produced by the Bud Wheel CO. were specifically designed to allow a dual wheel application without tires rubbing on each other. The differential used a ring and pinion rather than a worm gear used in the Model T. This allowed more speed for the vehicle. The transmission is a four speed manual type with reverse. The transmission was not synchronized and used a different gear ratio, than the Ford Model A standard, to allow more torque for moving heavy loads. Radiators for the Model AA trucks had four cores for cooling rather than the standard three core radiators, used on Model A automobiles. Donated by: Tim Kelley - New Canaan, CT In many cities and towns, oil products were delivered from the oil refineries by railroad.

  • Adenauer Holt Ford Nach Köln
    Auto-Medienportal.Net: 01.10.2020 Im Rückspiegel: Adenauer holt Ford nach Köln Er ließ es sich am 2. Oktober 1930 nicht nehmen: Firmengründer Henry Ford war nach Köln gereist, um gemeinsam mit dem damaligen Oberbürgermeister Konrad Adenauer im Stadtteil Niehl den Grundstein für die deutschen Ford-Werke zu legen. Die Stadt am Rhein hatte sich gegen Konkurrenten wie Magdeburg, Frankfurt am Main und Neuss bei der Ford Motor Company durchgesetzt. Bis heute haben über 17,5 Millionen Autos die Produktionshallen verlassen Bereits seit August 1925 hatte Ford in Deutschland Autos gebaut. In gemieteten Werkhallen am Berliner Westhafen setzten die ersten deutschen Mitarbeiter das legendäre T-Modell ("Tin Lizzie") aus vorgefertigten Teilen zusammen. Als Ford dann in Deutschland einen richtigen Produktionsstandort und eine deutsche Unternehmenszentrale aufbauen wollte, fiel die Wahl auf Köln. Oberbürgermeister Konrad Adenauer, der nach dem Krieg der erste Kanzler der Bundesrepublik wurde, hatte Henry Ford von den Standortvorteilen am Rhein überzeugt. Der Firmengründer gibt sich bei der offiziellen Grundsteinlegung vor 90 Jahren äußerst zuversichtlich: „Ich weiß, die Deutschen werden einen guten Job machen.“ Als erster Ford „made in Cologne“ lief am 4. Mai 1931 ein Lkw, ein Ford Model AA, vom Band. 619 Mitarbeiter produzieren auf 33.000 Quadratmetern Fabrikfläche 60 Fahrzeuge pro Tag, zunächst den Pkw Model A und den Ford AA. Zwei Jahre später, 1933, war das Angebot von Ford in Deutschland auf drei Pkw-Baureihen angewachsen: die Modelle B (Rheinland), Y (Köln) und der mondäne V8. Der Ford Eifel ersetzte 1935 den Y und wurde ebenfalls noch in den 1930er Jahren vom ersten Vertreter einer legendären Baureihe abgelöst – vom ersten Ford Taunus, dem so genannten „Buckel“-Taunus.
