Here is a Seafoam Green 1955 Thunderbird with aftermarket softtop frame only. This was my mother's car (I went with her to buy it in San Juan Capistrano in 1989) She died in 1993 and my stepfather got the car and restored it in 2000-2001.

He added Disc Brakes (Front) Air conditioning, power steering. The car was basically a rust free car when my mother bought it 24 years ago.

Paint is nearly new, one minor chip where hood closes on driver's side, and a couple around the skirts. Body is about as straight as you can get. Converted to 12 volt system, alternator etc. All gauges work great. All lights and lenses have been replaced. All chrome emblems were replaced with new reproductions. Dark teal dash is original and was in great shape all these years. Metal parts of dash were repainted original seafoam green.

Original 292 V* was rebuilt and only has about 4,000 miles on it. Engine compartment is completely detailed. Fan shroud keeps engine cool and does not overheat. Front disc brakes car stops as good as it looks. Seats and door panels were all redone using correct T Bird patterns and vinyls. Windows roll up and down, power seat works great. Smaller diameter 15 inch repro steering wheel installed.

Bumpers have all been rechromed. Automatic Fordomatic shifts about as good as can be expected for a Fordomatic. Not the greatest trannys I had one in my 63 Falcon when I was 17. Tires are wide whitewall radials and are nearly new. WireWheels were installed in 2002. No oil or tranny leaks.

Swing bar is behind the seat if you want to later install an original Softtop frame but the aftermarket works great and it pretty quiet even at freeway speeds.

When car is warmed up car starts immediately. Typical old Ford you need to pump it a bit when cold. Oil bath cleaner was replaced with NEW Teapot Carb back in 2001.

Beautiful car in the prettiest color (In my opinion) of the 1955's. Seafoam Green to me is the best with Fiesta Red coming in second.

Buyer to arrange and pay for shipping, car is located in East Hollywood (Los Feliz) not far from downtown LA. I can deliver to a local shipper. Car to be paid for within 14 days of auction close. Please email questions before bidding.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
