THUNDERBIRD HERITAGE

Heritage is, as always, the ultimate in Thunderbird personal luxury.

Great comfort, convenience and distinction.

Outside, Heritage features unique quarter windows and electro-luminescent coach lamps.

Dual electric remote control mirrors.

Wide bodyside moldings, bumper rub strip extensions and wire wheel covers.

Special grille ornament.

Hood, bodyside and deck lid stripes add smart accent touches.

Inside, you’re surrounded by the richness of the interior luxury group.

Seats are trimmed in velour cloth with a Thunderbird embroidered in each seat back.

Front seats include carpeted cushion side facings, a map pocket with Velcro closure for the driver and seat back map pockets.

The center area between rear seating positions is richly carpeted.

There are soft cloth inserts in the door panels and the coved area of the quarter trim panels.

Courtesy lights are in the door and quarter trim panels, too, with on/off switch for the latter located in the console.

Luxury floor carpeting, of course.

The instrumental panel has unique Prima Vera woodtone appliques and the luxury steering wheel has a matching woodtone center insert.

There’s even luxury trim in the luggage compartment.

And convenience items all around: Dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors, electronic digital clock, light group, diagnostic warning lights, power side windows, interval windshield wipers, automatic parking brake release and tinted glass.

Heritage luxury doesn’t there.

It includes as well the convenience of a power lock group.

A tilt steering wheel that adjusts to five positions.

The autolamp on/off/delay and illuminated entry systems provide sophisticated services even when you’re not inside the car.

And the electronic instrument cluster is also standard.

An electronic AM/FM Stereo search radio is combined with the premium sound system.

And to reflect your pride of ownership, an anodized aluminum plaque bearing your signature will be sent to you shortly after delivery (not included in this sale).

Heritage: The top of the line Thunderbird and fully deserving of the name.

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting

Tue, 13 May 2014

It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.

William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88

Sun, 09 Mar 2014

William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."
