This car was born in california, raised in Vegas and brought to Michigan for restoration.  Being a solid Western car, we chose to go over board and make it better than new..  In doing so, we had some minor modifications made to the body and interior.  These modifications were designed to make it a show car, with best of show  ability.   This has paid off well, with best of show  wins  and many trophy's, including  Good Guys.  The minor modifications are as follows.

The brite work was  replated with cu., ni, ch., and the aluminum was re anodised.  All the stainless trim was removed and restored and polished as new.

The body was striped and blocked to remove factory imperfections. 

The paint is base clear, Guards Red, that was color sanded and polished to a mirror finish.

The car was lowered 3'' and fitted with rear air shocks to be used when required.  This did not effect the smooth ride.

The wheels were changed from 14" to 15" chrome smoothies and dressed with radial white wall tires.  That improved the ride and handeling.

The hood and doors were shaved, with keyless enrty for the drivers door, controled by the key fob.

The lake pipes are decrotive and are not connected.

The interior was done in briliant pearl white, which refects the heat so well, that it is comfortable in the hot sun.

The convertible top is white and has recently recieved a new  top motor and lines, to make it perform like new.

The engine came with the car, I don't think it's original, but is period correct and was rebuilt about 4000 miles ago.The engine was fitted with petronics and a new 4V.

The transmission is a standard shift three speed , with over drive, which makes it comfortable as a interstate cruiser.

The dual exhaust has glass pacs along the exhaust extensions, I which I call echo cans and are 3 1/2"  X 18" and produce a low pleasant tone.

We have had a lot of fun with this car and it's the best in the collection, but age has crept up on us, so it's time for it to find a new home.  Having sold are other cars, we have found that the new owners have become friends and hope this is the same with the Sunliner.  We will continue to attend shows, but it will be with our 49 Merc, which is where it all started.

Thanks for looking

PS: The car has been driven to local shows, but yes, it's a trailer queen for the out of town shows.

Next-gen Ford Taurus spotted in China

Fri, Jan 2 2015

We're getting our first look at the next-generation Ford Taurus thanks to some spy shooters in China. While the camouflage and angle of the photo keep changes to the body a secret, there's no hiding the massive hexagonal, chrome grille up front. It lends a look very similar to the Fusion. Beyond the eye-grabbing grille, the headlights are reshaped, but are still quite squinty. There's also a new lower air dam that runs the width of the front with LEDs at the top corners. The hexagonal grille fits the design of the Fusion well, but this single image makes it look a little too big and disproportionate for the fullsize Ford sedan. Maybe the integration works better from a different angle, though. The next-gen Taurus is rumored debut for the 2016 model year and reportedly rides on a stretched and widened version of the Fusion's platform. Ford's big goal for the new model is allegedly to shed as many pounds from the scales as possible. The sedan also may get a nine-speed automatic to boost fuel economy. The engine range is still a mystery, but EcoBoost options are practically a sure thing, possibly even making up the whole model lineup.
