Up for sell is my 1963 Ford Country Sedan WAGON! This is a really cool wagon as it still wears about 90% of its original paint, giving it that great patina look. The roof was repainted about 6 months ago as the paint was very thin, no rust. The wagon was stored inside a shed / barn in Southern CA for over 15 years which preserved the car and avoided the usual rust you would typically find in these old Fords. The plan was to make into a old school Drag push car but economic reasons forces sale. All the glass is in perfect condition and all the trim is in original condition with a few dings here and there. Here is a list of what has been done to the car:

New but Used Ford 352 engine and automatic Tranny with 34k original miles ( Pulled out of a 62 Mercury )
Bucket seat conversion with center console ( Out of a 64 Galaxy )
Complete Galaxy Dash Stainless kit ( Out of 63 Galaxy )
COMPLETE brand new interior. Headliner, carpet, door panels and carpeted rear cargo area ( $3K )
Added original radio and clock ( Originally it was a radio and clock delete car )
RARE original WORKING Power Windows! ( Except for rear tailgate )
Custom and vintage Stuart Warner gauge set ( Oil Pressure still needs to be installed )
All new brakes and hardware
16 inch American Racing wheels with Yokohama tires. ( Staggered with rear tires measuring almost 10 inches wide )
Car is lowered all around, with 3" blocks in rear and lowered springs in front
Dual Magnaflow exhaust, drops out right behind each rear tire
Weathered vintage hand painted signage ( easy to remove if you want it off or plan on painting the car )

The car is a cruiser and offers a nice stance and comfortable ride. No over heating issues and can be driven anywhere. I am in Oceanside CA and would be happy to show you the car in person if you are local. The car is not perfect but the list of things to do is small:

Power Steering Pump or hose leaks ( just replaced Pressure hose but still leaks )
minor Alignment
replace choke as it does not work.
small dent by rear bumper on drivers side and small dent on lower tailgate, adds character :)

Extras that come with car: Four Barrel carb and intake and used front 1963 Galaxy Fiberglass bumper, ready to be installed.

PLEASE NOTE that the last three pictures is how the car currently is, with hand lettering. If you want it off I can take it off before it gets shipped or picked up.

Car is mostly original and is being sold as is, if serious Please feel free to make me an offer or call me with any questions, 949-633-6251

Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early....

Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Hot off the heels of unleashing its fleet of self-driving vehicles in Pittsburgh, PA, Uber announced plans to open a new facility in the Detroit, MI area, reports Automotive News. The new facility was announced at an event hosted by Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit, MI. Uber's vice president of global vehicle programs Sherif Marakby revealed the news, reports Automotive News. The facility is meant to help the ride-sharing company collaborate with suppliers and automakers in the area. There's no word on where Uber will build the new facility or how big it will be, as those factors have yet to be determined. Just like Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI could become another testing ground for the ride-sharing company. The latest move to open a facility in the Detroit area comes after Uber offered users in Pittsburgh the chance to ride in one of its autonomous vehicle as it looks to gain vital real-world testing. Uber is utilizing a fleet of modified Ford Fusions. Earlier this year in April, the automaker announced a partnership with Google, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo to develop autonomous cars. A new facility in Detroit would strengthen the partnership and help Uber, as well as Ford put autonomous vehicles on the road faster.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
