I'm no expert, just bought this from a retired school teacher and wish to sell it straight away. Interior and exterior look great. Looks like it was restored about 7 years ago and has been garage kept. She recently replaced tires, fuel pump, voltage regulator, refurbed generator, relined gas tank, master cylinder and brakes, gaskets, headlights, starter, rebuilt carb, battery, water pump, belts and misc. There is rust underneath and a few small bubbles under the paint here and there but not bad. The body, bumpers and trim all straight and in tact. All original parts from what I can tell. I also have a shop manual and some parts catalogs. The engine sounds and runs good, but needs some carb tweaking which I'm going to do. It wants to stall at stops but was able to keep running with my foot on the pedal slightly. But the lady mentioned it normally runs good and sat for a while and needed those tweaks. I have the manual on the carb and will run through all the recommended settings. After playing with it a little without knowledge it ran much better, so I assume I can get it purring. There are no leaks and we drove it for about 20 minutes no problem. Steers nice, brakes are old school but work fine. All the lights work. Radio is original and works good, the speaker was just replaced. Headliner is good. There are no tears or cracks on the dash or seats. Has seat belts. All Door locks and trunk work. There are boxes of spare parts in the trunk. Has a jack and spare tire. Windows all crank and seat nicely.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
