(IF YOU KNOW OF A NICER ONE, I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT!) PEARL WHITE & COPPER PEARL PAINT. STUNNING COMBO.
IT STILL RUNS & DRIVES GREAT. MUCH BETTER THAN WHEN NEW!!! IT WAS THE FINEST, MOST SOLID SPECIMEN THAT COULD BE FOUND IN ORDER FOR FULFILLMENT OF THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S DREAM CAR/ SHOW CAR / RESTO MOD / NEWLY UPGRADED / STREET ROD BUILD. THIS IS A SPECIAL CAR THAT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF SINCE NEW AS THE VERY SPECIAL, HIGHLY OPTIONED CAR THAT IT WAS WHEN NEW. ALWAYS FULLY APPRECIATED AND RESPECTED AS A SPECIAL CAR THAT WOULD CONTINUE TO BE HONORED & LOVED BY ALL, AND, AT THE SAME TIME, APPRECIATE IN VALUE FOREVERMORE. THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A NEAR PRICELESS & NEAR UNATTAINABLE CLASSIC CROWN VICTORIA IN THIS CONDITION. IT IS SOLID THROUGHOUT AS A WELL KEPT, CHERISHED AND LOVED CAR SHOULD BE SINCE NEW. THIS CAR HAD THE OBVIOUS MERIT FROM THE BEGINNING TO DESERVE THE HIGH DOLLARS SPENT IN THE FRAME-OFF NUT & BOLT RESTORATION TO JUSTIFY THE NEAR $100,000 COST TO REBUILD IT TO THE HIGH STANDARD IT IS NOW. YOU COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS OVERALL QUALITY BUILD ON THE SAME CAR TODAY FOR NEAR DOUBLE THE PRICE SPENT TO BUILD IT. WE ARE SERIOUSLY OFFERING THIS CAR FOR QUICK SALE NOW AT A TINY FRACTION OF ITS INITIAL BUILD COST! (BUILT A FEW YEARS BACK, WHEN PRO RESTORATIONS AND PARTS PRICES WERE QUITE A BIT LESS THAN TODAY'S EXTREMELY HIGH COSTS.) IT IS AN HONEST CAR AT AN HONEST PRICE. THIS CAR REPRESENTS THE BEST APPRECIATING INVESTMENT AVAILABLE ON THIS TYPE CAR AVAILABLE ANYWHERE NOW. THIS IS NOT SOME REBUILT RUSTY BUCKET. IT IS A SOLID ORIGINAL, VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF CAR SINCE NEW. A TRUE GEM OF A SURVIVOR IN THE BEST SENSE. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW OF THESE LEFT ANYMORE. AS SUCH, THE VALUE IS GUARANTEED TO INCREASE FOREVERMORE. NO DOUBT. PERIOD. INVESTMENT GRADE MATERIAL. IT WAS GIVEN A FRESH, HIGH QUALITY PAINT JOB YEARS AGO. NEAR SMOOTH AS GLASS. STILL LOOKS NICE & PRESENTABLE IN MOST ALL RESPECTS. NOT PERFECT, IF YOU BRING YOUR MAGNIFYING GLASS TO PICK IT APART AS A PEBBLE-BEACH CONCOURS JUDGE WOULD. IT IS A DAILY DRIVER QUALITY SHOW CAR. WHICH MEANS (TRANSLATES TO - SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ENJOYED DAILY WITH SUPREME PRIDE AND CONFIDENCE, YET DON'T HAVE TO WORRY AND FRET OVER A SLIGHT & TINY CHIP.) IT IS NOT A TRAILER QUEEN. IT CAN BE ENJOYED TO THE MAX EACH DAY!! WHAT COULD BE BETTER? BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!!

REMAIN MINDFUL, EACH AND EVERY NUT AND BOLT IS FRESHLY PAINTED AS ITS OWN SEPARATE COMPONENT, AS IT SHOULD BE. THERE IS NO "OVER-ALL" MASS PAINTING USED AS A QUICK COVER-UP TO APPEAR FRESH. THIS IS A REAL CLEAN RESTORATION WHERE EVERY WASHER, BOLT, CLAMP, ETC. HAS IT'S OWN DISTINCT COLOR AND FINISH SEPARATING IT FROM ITS MATING COMPONENT. KINDA LIKE NEW - AS INTENDED. UNBELIEVABLE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS EVIDENT EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK.

EVERY SINGLE RUBBER & WEATHERSTRIP IS NEW, INCLUDING ALL GLASS WEATHERSTRIPS. BRAND NEW GLASS, INCLUDING WINDSHIELD & BACK GLASS. NO OLD GLASS DE-LAMINATION ISSUES HERE. THIS CAR UNDERWENT A NEAR "MONEY-NO-OBJECT" BUILD. I'VE SEARCHED THE WORLD'S INTERNET TO FIND A CAR THIS NICE BUILT TO THIS HIGH A STANDARD, AND CAN'T FIND ONE EVEN COMING CLOSE TO THIS LEVEL. PERIOD. THERE ARE FULL CUSTOM, NON-DRIVEABLE SHOW CARS AT NEAR THE $200,000 COST TO BUILD THEM, YET WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH A RADICAL SHOW CAR LIKE THAT, EXCEPT TO TRAILER IT AROUND THE WORLD AND SHOW IT FOR A SELECT FEW?

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 01 Feb 2014Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
Winnebago re-introduces classic Brave RV [w/video]
Fri, Jun 6 2014Winnebago is saying 'Let's do the time warp again,' using its new Brave RV to do it – have a look at the first Winnebago RV from 1966 and you'll know exactly where this one comes from. The modern version of this swinging sixties motorhome is accurate from its size, either 26- or 27-foot version, to its trademark eyebrow above the front windshield. The foldaway bunk above the front seats that necessitated the eyebrow design has been updated, and is now a power bed that descends from the ceiling. It is among a set of standard features that also includes a 19-foot motorized awning, leveling jacks at all four corners, heated mirrors, LED ceiling lights, two available floorplans and detailing like a workstation for the front passenger, a sliding dash cluster and and a waterfall countertop in the kitchen with built-in extensions. The Brave sits on a Ford F53 chassis complete with its Triton V10 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. No word yet on any potential diesel alternatives. Naturally, that 1966 price of $4,000 will also come in for an update, but the company hasn't yet revealed it. The good folks from Winnebago will be happy to take you on a thorough personal tour of the Brave in the video below. This content is hosted by a third party.

2015 Ford Focus Electric hides in plain sight
Wed, 16 Apr 2014The styling changes to the 2015 Ford Focus were shown off at the recent Geneva Motor Show, so what the EV version looks like is not that much of a surprise. Still, the 2015 Focus Electric is making its world debut here at the New York Auto Show, so we wanted to know what changes we are looking at compared to both the internal combustion engine version and the earlier EV models.
The exterior visual distinctions between the ICE and EV are minimal, and basically nonexistent from the A-pillar to the rear. Up front, you can see the charge port, of course, but the front fascia has also undergone a bit of an adjustment. The front doesn't have the ICE version's flattened grille and the EV's Ford logo creates a bump in the hood line where none exists on the ICE. The 2015's grille is also different than the one on the 2014 Focus Electric, being slightly smaller (you can see this better if you compare pictures in our new gallery above to these of the 2011 Focus Electric and these of the gas-powered 2015 Focus).
The updated 2015 interior - which we couldn't access ourselves - has things like a new center stack, improved cupholders and is basically identical between the gas and electric models. With the car off, you can't even tell if you're in an EV or ICE, Seema Bardwaj, the US brand manager for the Focus, told AutoblogGreen. The only things that are different, she said, are extra menu screens to show EV powertrain information to the driver.
