THIS IS THE CAR THE 1969 MERCURY COUGAR ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN.    evil, mean, sleak and sinister.  this southern california cougar has gotten the full “driven” treatment.  murdered high gloss black paint,  de-badged, lowered front and rear, california rake,  18” staggered wheels with fresh, aggressive tread tires.  features the famous ford 351 powerplant, coupled to floor shifted automatic transmission for comfort as well as performance.  full flow headers lead into custom 2 1/2 ” metered and equalized exhaust.  flowmaster dual exhaust and bolonga sliced exhaust out the back give this car a great sound and look.  18” staggered chrome ridler 5 spoke wheels have timeless good looks, and look great burning rubber.  this solid and original california car looks good coming and going, with operating hidden headlights, and famous sequential turn signals in the rear.  the odometer shows less than 100k miles on this example.  currently registered, licensed and titled in California, ready for the road.  too many extras to mention, so we compiled a video for your review.  with high flow chrome air cleaner covering the 4bbl carb, aluminum intake manifold,  color coordinated plug wires, along with cobra valve covers lets everyone know you have some ponies under the hood.  power steering and originally fitted with air conditioning (most parts are still in place).  a grant wood steering wheel and a fresh dark red seats, headliner, carpeting and trim adorns the great period look of this updated “resto-mod”.  this car was built to look clean, and leave off all the bolt on scoops, wings, decals and “boy-toys” lots of the other cars have.  this car shows off the muscular clean mature look that the car should have had from day one.  but day one is now here………..and here is your chance to own/drive/show it.  combine that with a modern am/fm mp3 bluetooth / hands free phone pioneer remote control stereo, and you have your modern conveniences built right in already

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion

Wed, Jun 17 2015

While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
