Summer is here and you need a good, great value cruiser, so your search may be over.
This nice driver quality T'Bird has a nice look with the fresh blue paint and will make you look good as you pull in to your local cruise-in with the classic style that everybody loves. The power is supplied by a strong running 390 v8 coupled to a NEW automatic transmission.
I am assisting the owner of this classic and he needs to quick sale price it so he can go back to France for a month. According to the owner, there is some water leakage at the cowl area although not too bad, some very minor rust in the trunk pan and cowl area, and a slight exhaust leak at the manifold pipe. He does have a new gasket for you to install to stop the leak. All power windows work, but 2 switches are touchy, so he will provide 2 new ones with the sale. The ignition works fine, but sometimes requires a little " jiggle " of the key - an easy fix. The hood release cable is operated by the included vice grips. About once a month you need to top off the power steering fluid, so a new seal may be in order in the future.
The car runs, drives, shifts, and stops very well. The lights, signals, horn, heater, and all gauges work as they should. Even the chrome is pretty decent and the car was just re-painted back to the original color & it looks great. New carpet and trunk kit were also added. Some pictures may still show the light blue color from before the re-paint, but it has been painted since these pictures were taken. The interior is pretty decent with only 1 or 2 small tears in the headliner that are not very obvious. The unibody undercarriage is pretty good with typical Ohio surface rust, but nothing that would be alarming to me.
If you have less than 3 positive eBay feedback, please send me your name and phone number BEFORE you bid, or your bid may be cancelled. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to be received within 48 hours of auction end with balance due in cash or bank wire transfer received within 7 days of end of auction. I recommend that you come to see and drive the car and can arrange a private showing for you. The car is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel this ad at any time. Reserve is VERY modest for a car like this. Call Jack at 330/389-0456 with any questions or to schedule a private viewing.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood
Fri, Jan 30 2015Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
