You are looking at a 1955 Ford Thunderbird. I bought the car out of Texas in 1983, had the interior redone, put 600 miles on it, we bought a house in the country, drove it to the garage, been sitting there since 1984. Pulled it out two months ago and put new tires, new battery, reworked the carburator, transmission filter, and fuel filter. The brakes were froze up so I had the cylinders rebuilt and new brakes. Cranks on the first turn even in this cool weather weve been having. The body is solid as a rock. Never kept outside. No rust, no bondo. Frame only has surface rust on it. Straight and solid. The car has an undercoating on it that is starting to flake off as shown in the pictures. When you chip off some of the undercoating it shows that the car is not rusted out at all. The paint is starting to come off in large sections. I had an experienced automotive painter come out and he said whoever painted the car mixed the paint too rich with hardener. The black that you see under the paint is the primmer which is still intact to the metal body. The spoke rims are in bad shape. Either needs rechroming or replacing. Windows are all clear as a bell with no cracks. In my opinion, all this car needs is paint and wheels, then you would have one heck of a car. The seats have no rips or tears and are very soft. Chrome is in good shape, just needs some cleaning. I assure you that this car is in great shape. This is not a rust bucket. EASY fixer up. I can email you more pictures if you like. I'll take a pic of the engine and add it tomorrow. Feel free to call or email me about the car. 205-799-7663. Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
