’55 CROWN VICKY, THE CLOSED-BED RANCHERO THAT "SHOULD HAVE BEEN" “Roxanne” was a customized Crown Victoria I bought from a farmer in Vermont in the ‘70s. Unfortunately she was full of rot and bondo and had to be put to rest soon after. But in the early ‘90s, I bought the Crown Vicky that’s listed here with intentions of re-creating Roxanne. Did all of the cutting and some tack welding, and acquired a second trunk lid and a ’55 or ‘56 Ford station wagon rear window to weld in for her rear window, as the original car had. Typical story, ran out of time and money, and here she sits, in dry storage for over 20 years. The car is extremely solid, with some rust through in the lower rear quarters and lower fenders, but none in the floors or trunk, and the frame is extremely solid, even though it’s crusty and flaky with surface rust. One body mount is rusted through. The front crossmember is in great shape and they are known to rot out. On a couple of the photos of the underside you'll see places I sanded with 60 paper to bare metal to show that it's really not as bad as it looks underneath. The transmission tunnel is cut for a floor shift, but currently it’s got its original automatic on the column. There are numerous dents that need to be fixed. There is no interior aside from a ’64 Galaxie bench seat. The dash is intact. Doors are gutted but the window frames and regulators are present, along with power window motors. The stock 272 V8 is complete and will run, but needs a 6-volt battery. Included is a set of exterior stainless moldings which combined with what’s on the car should be more than enough to have a complete set in great shape on the car. Unfortunately the center piece of the interior crown is missing and the two side pieces are in bad shape. This is a big project, but a project well worth doing. If you’ve seen other mid-fifties Fords and Chevys converted in this way you will appreciate how the back of the roofline and the rear window look so much more natural on this car than most. Roxanne’s trunk was opened by hydraulic cylinders which made it easy. I also thought of having a way to make the trunk quickly removable for open pickup use. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET! PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND/OR COME VISIT THE CAR IN SUBURBAN PHILLY BEFORE BIDDING! MY RESERVE IS REALISTIC, SO BID TO WIN! *$1000. deposit due within 24 hours of auction's close.

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode
Fri, Apr 17 2015MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.

New York Mets outfielder turns spring training into his personal car show
Wed, Feb 24 2016New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is known for his wide range of talents. He can hit for power, average, has good speed, and is solid in the field. His car collection is equally versatile and diverse, and it's been on display this week at spring training. Every day has brought a different car, and it has his teammates and the media atwitter. Cespedes rolled up Wednesday to the Mets facility in Port St. Lucie in a Lamborghini Aventador. It's black with blue trim. Anthony DiComo with MLB.com tweeted this: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. ESPN's Darren Rovell tweeted the Lambo has a custom exhaust that cost $80,000 and shoots out flames. Of course, that's already old news. His Alfa Romeo showed up today, too. Apparently Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has been driving it. That's an ultra-rare 8C Competizione, brought to you by Robert Brender of SNY.TV. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The Italian delights are stunning, but his Tuesday arrival was arguably the craziest: a Polaris Slingshot. DiComo captured this. It's customized with gaudy wire wheels, red accents, and Cespedes' No. 52 on the hood. Subtle. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Only in this fleet would Monday's ride appear pedestrian. It was 'only' an F-250. It was raised on huge wheels, had a custom grille, and towered over that Maserati behind it. Jon Santucci of Scripps newspapers observed it. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. At this rate, we should probably skip Geneva and get credentialed for Mets spring training. Cespedes signed a three-year $75-million contract with the Mets in the off-season. He's also played for the Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox, and Detroit Tigers. Related Video: Image Credit: Getty Images Celebrities Design/Style Ford Lamborghini Performance baseball
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 15 Oct 2013I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.
