’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!

The most efficient gas or hybrid cars of 2024: Not the greenest, but still very green
Thu, Mar 14 2024Not a single electric vehicle appears on the “greener choices” list assembled by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) in its annual compilation of the most environmentally friendly cars in the United States. But for potential car buyers seeking an efficient, fairly affordable gasoline or hybrid vehicle this year, the list of 12 cars, trucks and SUVs can help with decision making. Topping this yearÂ’s list was the gas/hybrid Honda Accord, priced at $33,990 with an estimated annual fuel cost of $982. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Vehicle Class Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Honda Accord Gas Hybrid Large Car 62 $33,990 $982 2 Kia Niro FE Gas Hybrid Compact SUV 61 $28,315 $885 3 Mitsubishi Mirage Gas Compact Car 59 $17,955 $1,189 4 Lexus ES 300h Gas Hybrid Midsize Car 59 $44,590 $1,073 5 Lexus NX 350h Gas Hybrid Midsize SUV 57 $43,465 $1,207 6 Ford Maverick Gas Hybrid Compact Pickup 55 $24,900 $1,297 7 Toyota Sienna Gas Hybrid Minivan 55 $39,080 $1,304 8 Mini Cooper Convertible Gas Subcompact Car 54 $35,700 $1,412 9 Toyota Highlander Gas Hybrid Large SUV 54 $40,720 $1,348 10 Kia Soul Gas Small Wagon 53 $21,565 $1,467 11 BMW Z4 sDrive30i Gas Two-Seater 50 $53,600 $1,626 12 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 Gas Hybrid Large Van 49 $43,000 $1,596 13 Volvo V90CC B6 Gas Hybrid Midsize Wagon 45 $59,800 $1,843 14 Ford Ranger Gas Standard Pickup 43 $32,670 $1,968 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In making its evaluations, the ACEEE examines each 2024 model based on its cost to human health from air pollution associated with vehicle manufacturing and disposal, the production and distribution of fuel or electricity, and vehicle tailpipe emissions. The group also takes into account air pollution associated with EV battery manufacturing. The organization also ranks what it calls the “greenest” cars — it selected the Toyota Prius Prime SE plug-in hybrid is the greenest model of 2024. As well as the “Meanest.Â’Â’ or least efficient vehicle. At the top of that list this year was Mercedes-Benz AMG G63. The group says that the greener choices are those that are available nationwide “with among the lowest environmental impacts in each vehicle class but that didnÂ’t make the Greenest List.

New 2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator recalled for minor safety issues
Wed, Aug 7 2019Ford has announced a small recall on 2020 Explorers and 2020 Lincoln Aviators. Select units might be missing a manual park release cover, while others might have instrument clusters stuck in Factory Mode. The recall affects 14,135 SUVs in total. While a vehicle is in production in a manufacturing facility, Ford might put them in what is known as Factory Mode to help reduce battery drain. Affecting the instrument cluster, this mode disables warning alerts, warning chimes, and does not show the PRNDL gear selector display. Ford says one vehicle was in an accident at a production facility as a result of the issue, but nobody was injured. Separately, Ford found that some of these Explorers and Aviators might be lacking a manual park release cover. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require a manual park release cover that is only removable with a tool. Without the cover, there is a very minor chance the manual park release could be accidentally actuated, which could allow the vehicle to move on its own. The recalls affect 13,896 vehicles in the U.S. and 239 in Canada. The Explorers were built between March 27, 2019, and July 24, 2019. The Aviators were built between April 10, 2019, and July 24, 2019. Owners can use Ford's recall number 19C06, and if affected, can take their vehicles in for fixes.
