1952 Ford Pickup Meadow Mist Green on 2040-cars
New Preston Marble Dale, Connecticut, United States
|
This pickup is in very good condition. There is some surface rust, but no serious corrosion. My mechanic had it up on a lift and the under carriage was in great shape. The gears have been synchronized so you don't have to double clutch when shifting. It also runs on regular unleaded gas. I'm not going to lie, I really don't know that much about it, but I do know that the body and engine are in great shape. I've barely driven it in the past year and a half, and I although I hate to part with it, it needs somebody who is going to love it and care for it. It's painted the original color which (I think) is called Meadow Mist Green. In fact, the gas tank behind the seat still has the original paint on it. I had the title, but when I registered it with the state of Connecticut they took it because you don't need the title for cars manufactured before 1980. I do have the bills of sale from the last 2 owners. Like I stated in the description, the odometer has never worked since I've had it, the horn is missing under the hood, the side mirror fell out (but I have it) and it's finicky about starting in the cold weather. Oh yeah, and that leaky windshield because the previous owner installed the wrong one. Again, the body is in great shape, there is no rust or corrosion on the running boards, fenders, or hood. There is some surface rust on the tailgate and a couple of other spots. I've got pictures of all of those areas. The bed was beautifully restored and varnished, but I left it out one summer, and the varnish is all worn off. The underneath is still shiny and varnished. Email with any questions, and I will provide you with as many details as possible. Anything I can't answer, I will refer you to my mechanic.
I would like a $1,000 deposit within 48 hours of the sale, and the remainder of the payment within 7 days. I will accept a certified check or cash. Buyer is responsible for all delivery and transportation costs. |

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang to cost $52,995?
Mon, Dec 1 2014The 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang was one of the shining stars of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. And the Blue Oval's latest muscle car might even have reason to burn a little brighter if a recent rumor about its price proves true. Best of all are rumors that an even more potent version of the Shelby is potentially on the way. According to Horsepower Kings citing unnamed Ford sources at the LA Auto Show, the 2015 GT350 carries a starting price of $52,995, and the Tech package adds a further $2,995 on top of that. There's also the claim of a Track package for an undisclosed price. However, it doesn't look like LA is the last we'll see of the newest Shelby because the source also alleges that a top-rung GT350R is under development with bigger brakes, modified aerodynamics and sportier tires. This rubber-burner is reported to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Assuming these claims are correct, it puts the Shelby in fighting form against its two Chevrolet Camaro rivals. Ford reports that the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 pumps out over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. At $52,995, it would undercut by a couple of grand the $55,505 (before destination) base price of the 580-hp 2015 ZL1. The super 'Stang might also beat the 505-hp Z/28 with its power rating, while being vastly cheaper than the track-focused Camaro's $72,305 price. This could be quite the performance shoot-out.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
