I am very pleased to offer this "EXCEPTIONAL" 1955 Ford Sunliner Convertible. This beautiful American classic has been fully restored to "Show Winning" condition. The restoration was completed about 2 years ago and the car has been driven very little since. The car was painted in a beautiful yellow over white. The paint work is of the highest quality and shows beautifully. The body on this Sunliner was amazingly solid and it shows. The body is straight as an arrow and looks beautiful. All the chrome and bright work has been replaced or rechromed. The convertible top was replaced along with the top motor and lines. The power top functions perfectly. All the glass is in great shape. The car rides on excellent tires and has brand new factory wire wheel covers that look great on this classic. The bottom of the car is very clean with no issues at all. This Sunliner is powered by the optional 292 V8 that was the first year used and most powerful engine offered in 1955. The car runs excellent! The car has the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission that's make this car a true pleasure to cruise it. The car runs and drives excellent. A very reliable fun car to cruise in!! The interior of the Sunliner has been completely redone. It was done in a matching yellow and white two-tone and looks amazing! The Sunliner looks factory new inside with original Ford Round push button radio, clock, and Ford magic Aire System. This is a very roomy comfortable car. The interior looks beautiful. This car also has power steering and brakes. This really is an exceptional 1955 Sunliner. No expense was spared making this car beautiful and reliable. The car was appraised in 2012 by a world-wide auction company for $75,000. I'm selling this beautiful car to help fund the down payment on a vacation home for my family. I am offering the car "No Reserve" and I'm confident the right people who will appreciate this beautiful car as much as I have will bid it to a fair price. If your looking for a truly beautiful investment quality vintage automobile you found it!! I truly hope it goes to a good home and is appreciated and enjoy!! Thank You for looking at my listing. The car is available for inspection any time during this auction. I would be happy to work with any shippers that may move that car. I am available and will do everything I can to help make this a very smooth easy transaction. I have clear title in hand. If you have any questions I am happy to help answer them!! Thank You and Good Luck!!

Inside Ford's high-tech climate chamber
Sat, Dec 27 2014There are two ways an automaker can test its vehicles in extreme climates: it can send said vehicle around the world – from Death Valley to the Arctic Circle – in search of the harshest weather, or it can recreate those conditions in an enclosed environment. We're sure that many automakers undertake some combination of both, but in this latest video clip, Ford shows us around inside it's state-of-the-art climate chamber. At its Driveability Test Facility in Allen Park, MI – inaugurated in 2010 just across the street from the Roush Technology Center – Ford can simulate all sorts of extreme conditions. It can drop the temperature down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit or raise it up to 130, and take it up to a simulated 12,000 feet above sea level or drop it down to 280 feet below. blast it with 150-mile-per-hour winds. It can control the level of humidity, approximate the intensity of the sun and even blast the test vehicle with artificial snow, just like your favorite ski resort. The facility strikes us as an engineering feat as impressive as some of the vehicles it's used to test, but don't take our word for it – scope it out for yourself in this brief two-minute video clip, which even includes some helpful tips for winter driving this holiday season and beyond.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang
Sat, 24 Aug 2013Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
