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.

Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future
Mon, Sep 19 2016Hot 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.

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
