Stolen equipment not yet recovered
2008-02-01 07:44:00
More than a month after a loaded gun and other police equipment were stolen from a Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy’s pickup truck, the search for the missing items continues. Sheriff Ken McGovern said that as far as he knows none of the equipment has been recovered. As for the deputy who left the department truck running unattended at his rural Douglas County home, that matter was handled with “administrative action,” McGovern said. He declined to elaborate. “The officer made a judgment error, and we corrected that action,” McGovern said. The officer, who has not been identified, started the truck and then left it unattended for five minutes, sheriff’s spokeswoman Lt. Kari Wempe said at the time. When the officer returned, the truck was gone. It was found a few hours later abandoned in Kansas City, Mo. The police equipment was gone. In addition to the Glock .40-caliber pistol, other items taken were a pair of handcuffs, a pepper spray canister, two bulletproof vests, a...

Get behind the wheel of a merry Locomobile
2008-01-31 21:45:00
In the teens and 1920s, the Locomobile 48 was a mighty road giant, a car of top quality, built to last. There were lesser models of the Locomobile as well, offered during the mid-’20s when Billy Durant and Durant Motors had control of the company. But the 48 and nearly as big 90 were the stars of the Locomobile galaxy. The 48 was so good, in fact, that the corporate heads decided to continue it, virtually unchanged, from the teens right up to the last of the 1929 Locomobiles. When I was a kid in Oakland, Calif., I was really quite interested in old cars, and carefully read the Tribune auto classified ads — even at age 10 — looking for an occasional old car offered for sale. One day I saw a Locomobile in the classifieds. The odd name intrigued me: Was it half-locomotive and half-car? It was the first time I’d heard of one, and I asked Mom if she would drive me over to see it. She didn’t, but she did allow me to go to see a yellow and black ‘37 Cord Coupe (a rare body type...

These Old fire Trucks won’t flame out
2008-01-31 21:07:00
When Ypsilanti officials gave a 1950 fire truck to Bois Blanc Island more than 40 years ago, they never thought they would see it again. But the Ford truck, which does not run, is back in Ypsilanti, ready to take its place in the city’s firefighting history. The Ypsilanti City Council voted recently to transfer the title of the old truck to the Michigan Fire house Museum in Ypsilanti for renovation. The museum wants to add the truck to its collection of about 50 fire trucks at 110 W. Cross St. Museum curator Matt Lee said the plan is to renovate the 1950 Ford truck that was made in Lansing and is familiar to a lot of people in the city. There is no Ypsilanti fire truck at the museum, he said. “The vehicle will end up in a happy home,” Lee said. Fire Chief Jon Ichesco said the city used the truck for about 15 years and either gave it or sold it to the Bois Blanc Island Fire Department in the mid-1960s. The volunteer fire department there used it for several years and...

Why Your Vehicle Needs Rustproofing
2008-01-31 12:44:00
Some vehicle owners think that after they have treated their vehicle’s surface and underside with simple wax or even costly corrosion-inhibiting and car fabric protection products, the rust problem is solved. This is not true. Underside panels are very vulnerable too. It’s them that you need rustproofing for. Whether you live inland or on the coast, in the hills or on a plain, in a huge city or a town, whether you own a new or a used vehicle; corrosion is always a very serious problem. All vehicles are subject to at least one of the following rust provoking factors; rain, snow, salty or humid air, rocksalt, sleet, home garage mould, atmospheric or man-made chemicals, washing detergents - all of which speeds up the corrosion of your vehicle radically! As my friend Jonathan from KROWN rust checking centre explains, rust prevention is basically the process of applying rust-inhibiting materials, sealers and persistent waxes to all corrosion-risky areas on the underside, topside and ...

Automakers take showrooms to customers
2008-01-31 10:58:00
With truck sales sagging nationwide because of the slowdown in home construction, General Motors is taking its latest truck models to work sites and marketing directly to the people most likely to buy them. The Hard Days Work Tour is another twist in the latest trend in the highly competitive automotive business: Targeting specific groups of potential customers with events that put the vehicles right in from of them. From taking trucks directly to construction sites to offering test drives at football games, companies are looking for new ways to attract customers. GM’s Work Tour kicked off recently at Arizona State University’s new East Valley campus, where about 300 hard hats gathered for a free lunch and a look at the trucks. They also lined up for a free power-tool raffle and certificates worth $250 toward the purchase of a GM truck. “Well, it’s a great way to get people’s attention,” said Kevin Davis, a construction worker from Queen Creek.
