Ford Falcon Futura Convertible on 2040-cars
Hemlock, New York, United States
You are looking at a 1963 Ford Falcon convertible. It is a 3-speed automatic (on the column) with a straight-6 cylinder 170HP motor with a single barrel carburetor. Current owner bought the car in November 2009 with the plan to fix it up to drive it during the summers. The car has been stored in a heated garage 8 months of the year since current owner bought in 2009. The car is originally from Oregon. I live in Buffalo, NY. The car has been driven sparingly: About 3000 miles a summer. You will see that there is a parts catalogue for MAC’S Antique Auto Parts, which deals solely in antique Ford parts. They are a local company (to Buffalo, NY). I have been able to replace any part I needed. The following is a list of work done to restore the car for the purpose of driving and using it: 1)11/2009: Rebuilt motor and transmission; 2)12/2009:Replaced distributor; 3)03/2010:New carburetor, exhaust, and front end; 4)04/2010:Seat recovered and new carpet installed (authentic replacement) 5)06/2010:New battery and front shocks 6)07/2011:New brakes—all wheels; 7)04/2012:New springs on front and back end and new rear shocks; 8)04/2012:New gas tank, fuel pump, and sending unit; 9)09/2013:New soft top;10)06/2014:Replaced faulty battery, paint touched up and green trim\completely redone; 11) 07/2014:New radiator 12) 04/2015 After photos; chrome windshield frame redipped to remove tin pitting I have changed the oil on the car every 1500 miles and take very good care of it. It was restored in order to be driven, however, someone could make this a show car if desired. I am not finding enough time to use the car lately. I have had a lot of fun with it. It’s just time to sell it. However, I do want to get an appropriate price for it, and if I cannot I will not sell the car.

Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
The history and future of the Ford Bronco
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
