Extremely Nice 1957 Ford Failane 500 on 2040-cars
Oroville, California, United States
Up for sale is an immaculate 1957 Ford Fairlane 500. This car has been completely restored from the body off to the frame and everything in between. This Ford has absolutely zero rust and no bondo. It has never been in an accident that I can tell and has been in Northern California all it's life. I purchased this car from a local restorer who had the car done in primer and was still needing to paint, complete the interior and put her back together. I've had the car for a couple of years and have run into time and money restraints and need to sell this to complete other projects. The car is currently registered and is on a non-op. There are no fees against the car. This Fairlane runs and drives like she looks. The interior, paint, tires, wheels and much of the chrome and trim is new or looks new. however, it will need several pieces of trim to complete as well as : neutral safety switch, shocks, some weatherstrip, right vent glass has a crack. upper windshield trim edges, driver door upper trim and check mark. The right side fin trim is a bit dented but can easily be repaired. The paint, while not show quality looks fantastic, the interior is all new as is the carpet, headliner. All the glass in in great shape except the right wing vent has a crack. Everything seems to work. It can be driven but has not been driven much since I've had it. The car is very solid, never any rot or rust whatsoever, the chrome is all in very nice condition, the body lines are good and straight. The car is stored inside and can remain there free of charge for a reasonable amount of time. I will assist in shipping all I can but the cost is the responsibility of the buyer. If you have any questions, please call 530-519-2195 or email. I will respond quickly, Thanks |

Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Supercrew
Fri, 15 Mar 2013I'm not normally a pickup kind of guy, but the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor won me over nearly instantly. The street-legal trophy truck - there is really no other way to accurately describe it - is big, brawny and incredibly capable. Let's just say it's every bit the monster it visually portrays. I spent a week pretending I was one of Ford's Baja 1000 drivers, but lacking desert sand, I headed into the local mountains where a mild winter storm had dropped a couple inches of fresh snow on my favorite off-road park. The Ford was, for the most part, practically unstoppable.
Ford offers its SVT Raptor package on Supercab and Supercrew platforms with the five-foot, five-inch bed. The Supercrew I tested rides on a 144-inch wheelbase (about a foot longer than the Supercab). In addition to its cosmetic differences when compared to the standard F-150 - there isn't a young boy on the planet who doesn't think the matte black Ford grille is cool - the Raptor has a 73.6-inch track - nearly seven inches wider than the track on the standard F-150.
After upgrading the F-150 SVT Raptor significantly for the 2012 model year, there are only a few changes for 2013. The list includes standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, Hill Descent Control, forged beadlock-capable wheels, and the new matte Terrain color (aka "Desert Storm") option seen on my test model.
How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality
Wed, 01 May 2013The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.
