1957 Ford Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
This listing is for a 1957 Ford Thunderbird which has been garage kept and lightly used for the last three years.
The Thunderbird is a 312 cubic inch car with 4 barrel Holley carburetor, which looks to be the original equipment
to the car. The transmission is a 3-speed automatic which shifts well, engine starts easily, and makes good power.
The car has manual windows, brakes and steering. She has a electric fuel pump making cold starts much easier, and
we have also installed a new radiator, fan, tires, trunk release switch, and speedometer.
The exterior of the car is rather unique, as it was modified many years ago with several additions. At the front
there is a grill insert from a Cadillac, on the sides there are non-functional side pipes and altered vents. At the
rear, the tail lights were changed; and the dark green paint was augmented by hand painted pin striping and grey
detailing. Even the window glass itself was etched, making every panel unique on the car.
The condition of the car is good. This is an excellent driver, but not a concours vehicle by any stretch. There are
areas of chips, bondo bubbles, and very miminal rust. The paint is still in excellent shape and the clear coat is
still very consistent across the car. She has good condition Fenton wheels on new BF Goodrich white wall tires.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along
Wed, 24 Sep 2014You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
