CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a really nice 1955 Ford Thunderbird equipped with the original driveline. It has a 292 V8 engine & Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. it is nicely optioned with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, and all power options work just fine. It has had the same owner for 17 years. It is not a 100 point show car but presents very well and is in turn key drive home and enjoy immediately today condition. It was purchased from a neighbor who had it willed to him by his mother who resided in Honolulu, Hawaii, where the car spent much of it's life. The Hawaii inspection sticker is still on the rear bumper and the title shows Hawaii as the state of origin. The odometer shows 31,000 miles on it but I don't have any documentation to prove the mileage is original. The title is listed mileage exempt as many older cars are. The data plate reveals that the car was built in Dearborn, Michigan, (Code F) and originally a black car (Code A) with a black and white interior (Code XA). It apparently received a color change inside and out early on due to the fact that the paint, although still shiny, shows a few areas of age. The car runs, drives & stops fine. Since it spent more time in the garage than on the road for the last 17 years, some items have been replaced and refurbished. The cooling system received a new thermostat, gasket, hoses, water pump, and the radiator was cleaned and pressure tested before re-installation. The gas tank is a brand new stainless steel unit that has just been replaced. The carburetor is a bit dry from sitting and could perform better, so a rebuilt unit is on order and will be on the car before it leaves for it's new home. Transmission has been serviced with a new filter and gasket and fresh fluid as well. This Thunderbird is equipped with the original 1955 Hardtop (No Porthole), but has no softop. This car was personalized with the addition of N.O.S. 50's vintage 4" dummy spots and lake pipes. Again these items are 50's N.O.S. and not plated with the sub standard China Chrome. 1955 Mercury Station Wagon tail lights were installed for a mild custom look, along with 50's vintage spinner hubcaps. Stock tail lights and hubcaps were retained and will go with the car, so it can be returned to stock appearance in a few hours. As you can see in the photos, every area of the car is eye-pleasing. Outside, inside, and underside are all in very nice condition, although not 100 point show quality. The wide-white tires have great tread, and the exhaust is in fine condition. The engine has the optional dress up kit with original finned valve covers. The investment value and desirability of this car speak for themselves. This car is a real head turner that receives thumbs up and horn beeps everywhere it goes and would compliment any garage and would be a hit at the local show or cruise. The car is priced for what it is, with the realization that it is not a rotisserie restoration. Please take the time to look at all the photos.

Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award
Wed, Oct 12 2016Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.

Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins
Sat, Jan 18 2014Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.
