1957 Ford Thunderbird (2 Tops)


 This is a very clean and presentable car that is very solid and  mechanically sound. The exterior is Starmist blue with white interior. It is a great color combination and shows well.This Bird has a 312 cid engine with a 4bbl carb, Automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brake upgrade with dual reservoir master cylinder for safety, engine dress up kit, heavy duty battery option, heater & defrost, wipers & washers, telescopic steering wheel, town & country radio that works, seat with embossed logo, seat belts, and back up lights. You can jump in and drive this Bird any where. It is ready to go, looks great, drives great, and has just been serviced.

This Bird has a white soft top in new condition with new weather stripping, the top frame looks to be freshly done as well. The top though new, has a tear on each side where some one didn't put it down properly and tore it. It is patched with white duct tape (see pic) and is still a good top. The hard top is white as well and has the port hole option. It has had a fresh engine bay detail and all of the belts, hoses, spark plugs & wires, distributor cap, coolant, oil & filter, fuel filter, power steering fluid, radiator hoses & clamps, heater hoses & clamps, brand new Interstate battery, new shocks, and air cleaner are all new. The trunk bay is very clean as well. It has the original jack assembly and has the  jacking instructions on the bottom side of the trunk lid. The car has 5 new Dayton wide white wall radial tires.The trunk pan is original to the car with no patch work. I pulled the trunk liner to inspect and photographed it. The floor pans, inner rockers, and body braces appear to be original and solid as well. The front and rear bumpers have been rechromed and look very nice, the rest of the bright work is nice as well. The hard top has the rear lower stainless moulding damaged a bit from sitting the top on it while storing it. All of the glass has the Ford logo etched in it as per original glass. The car runs and drives out wonderfully and will not need any thing for a long time. The money has already been spent on all the service and detail work. Spring time will be just around the corner and cruise nights and shows will be back in full swing again before you know it.

 Please come inspect it and take it for a test drive. I am in Wentzville, Mo. just 35 miles west of St. Louis on I-70. I also have a 1964 Thunderbird convertible with wire wheels and tonneau cover and a 1966 Thunderbird convertible with tonnaue cover. The 66 is listed now and the 64 will be listed this weekend. Please follow my auctions for upcoming cars. Also check out Vintage Autohaus and Imports inventory at vaitx.com as well.

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module

Wed, Dec 23 2015

The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.
