LOW MILE 75TH ANNIVERSARY CAR
RARE SPECIAL EDITION

ULTRA RARE TTOP OPTION & 400 ENGINE


1978 FORD THUNDERBIRD
DIAMOND JUBILEE "T-ROOF CONVERTIBLE"


27,000 original miles



This original Diamond Jubilee is the most sought after of the Thunderbirds.
This is only the fourth of these wonderful Special Edition  cars we have had in the last six years.

The Diamond Jubilee was a series of 18,994 cars made to commemorate the 75th anniversary
of Ford Motor Company. They were loaded with special trim features making the instantly
recognizable as not your standard Thunderbird...


Diamond Jubilees TBirds were mostly produced in Diamond Blue Metallic, but other
colors could be ordered. In March, 1978 at the end of the model year, they first offered the
Diamond Jubilee in Polar White. This car was likely a special order car due to it's rare options.

First the car was produced withe the rare "T-Roof Convertible" option. I know there were
likely several produced, but this is the first one I have ever seen as a Diamond Jubilee.
This car also has the rarest engine option, the 6.6 Liter 400 cubic inch V-8.

This car has had an excellent original Polar White and the special factory painted pinstripe.
Mint original Ember landau vinyl roof and the special DJubilee rear windows.
Mint original Jubilee Ember leather & vinyl interior. Original carpet, door panels, & headliner.

Mint dash with special Rosewood trim and full gauge package.

Ice cold air conditioning

Ultra-rare T-top option

This car is equipped with the factory 400 cubic inch engine
with two carburetor and automatic transmission.

Special factory color coordinated Turbine wheels and newer radial tires.

Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years

Wed, 01 May 2013

While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."

Ford Announces Free Brake-Pad Offer If Customers Stop By Dealers

Mon, Aug 4 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer. Scroll down to read the all the details.
