Not all 1957 "Baby Birds" are the same. This 57 year old, always garaged Bird was one of the last 1957s off the assembly line on or after the October 1957 build run. While most all of 21,380 1957 T-Birds had the Starmist Blue paint this beauty has the "Azure Blue" paint code that was introduced on the last runs of 1957 models (October 14th-December 13th 1957) for the 1958 model color. It sports the town and country radio that takes about two minutes to warm up, and for your comfort, a power seat and a heater. The automatic transmission is attached to the 312 CID V-8 and both operate smoothly with the help of the Kelsey Hayes wheels and radial whitewalls. When you remove the top it has the rolling rack for storing it. The gentleman I purchased the car from about 10 years ago sold it only because he was unable to get in and out of it because of a hip replacement, and if you've have ever climbed behind the wheel of one on of the early Birds you know it's not an easy task , even with a good hip and the telescopic steering wheel all the way retracted. The history passed on to me from the gentleman I purchased it from about 10 years ago is that he purchased the car used from Ken Roggy Ford in La Puente in 1960 and had it cosmetically redone again in 1985. This is a no rust vehicle and is open to any inspection. This T-Bird like all the Early "Birds" will only continue to go up in price. It's a true classic that is road ready is worth the investment even if you just park it the garage to look at, and drive it one time a month around town like I have done. The pictures attached do this car no justice. It's been covered and I took the pictures prior to washing it. The purchaser is responsible for pick up and delivery a $1000 deposit through paypal to hold for 10 days and the balance to be cashiers check, cash or bank wire paid and cleared prior to pick-up.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
For more details about the study and the top companies, check out the press release posted below.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.
Hop up top for our live gallery of images from the floor of the Detroit Auto Show.
