1957 Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Lafayette, Louisiana, United States
|
1957 Thunderbird Convertible I have a collection of 1955-57 Baby Birds & parts. This 1957 Baby Bird is the rarest and most expensive of the group. It runs and stops. This Baby Bird can be driven as is or restoration project. This car is very solid and will need lower quarters replaced if restoring. Details of ownership follows: 1957 Ford Thunderbird time Capsule. This unique Thunderbird was ordered by Dick Cranston senior, a dealership in New Jersey for his son Dick Cranston Junior. The car has been parked in a wharehouse for 40 years but has an interesting history. At the time Dick Cranston Junior was 21 years old and received this car as a gift from his dad. Although it was a D code car with a three speed transmission that wasn't quite enough for the young 21 year old. At the time Ford was offering NASCAR packages that could be installed by the dealer. So Dick asked his dad if he would have the guys in the shop trick out his new 57 Thunderbird with some fast goodies. So the car received the dual Quad package that was offered on the E code cars of that time. As well as a brand new four speed pulled off the shelf in the parts room, a set of headers and some Mickey Thompson magnesium wheels. All of this information has been documented and Dick Cranston Junior is still around to verify any other information about the car. This car has been untouched since parked in that warehouse in 1967. It is an awesome example of how these cars were transformed by the dealerships and in many cases sold to the general public. It still sports the original dealership emblem, original interior and even the gigantic sun tachometer screwed right through the flawless dash pad. This car would be a great candidate for full restoration or left as it is to be a reminder of a bygone era. Serious Inquiries only contact Hugh 337 344 9731 |

Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be
Fri, 20 Sep 2013Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.
Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
