hello! last of my project type cars.kind of a cool old do want you want with car. restore all the way or do a budget car. i bought this 56 crown as the original color combo was great sunset coral and raven black with black and white interior. plus the body, even a little battered and bruised, is pretty solid structurally for a start. the was built in california, made its way to florida and ended up in new jersey. it seemed that it was going to be or was a drag car, dont know if it ever made many trips. the frame had some modifications and the crossmember was bad,so i lifted the body off and rolled a mint cleaned and painted arizona frame under it. i cut the areas of the old frame with the matching serial numbers from the 56. they go with car to show it was a legitment frame change. it has an excelent running 272 with a 57 distributor, intake and 2bbl carb. it has a good 3 speed stick,shifts great. it has a freshly cleaned and tested radiator, a new gas tank and lines, new wheel cylinders and excellent working emergency brake.it yard drives great with very good braking. it is not charging correctly but lasts quite a while disconnecting the battery. i start it regularly and has no valve noise and runs strong. it was missing many parts that i knew i had to improve the car, specifically the crown parts. it has the correct 56 front seat backs with trim, sunvisor brackets, window flippers, and very nice inside tiara pieces.the original front and rear door panels with armrests and trim are still in very nice shape. i dont want to make it seem like its ready to go down the road, just that there is a very good basis on the mechanics. as with most cars the work will be at the body. what is really good is all the body mounts are extremely solid, including the long trunk rail.the trunk floor is very decent. there are a few extra holes where a fuel cell was mounted. the rear trunk panel was very rusted. i trimmed it out, removed one from another car and have fitted in but not welded in. it needs some repair underneath but the outer skin is very nice. it will need lower inner and outer quarters on both sides. it has damage below the trim line on the left side. both side wheel wells a pretty decent. the left side rocker has rust at the lead joint seam that needs work. the left rocker is going underneath but the tops and face are fairly solid. inner rockers are very savable. the right side rocker is very solid. the cowl mounts arte very good. the left front floor is very savable. i had some old style floor pans for the right front and left rear,need welded in. it will need the full floor pan for the right rear.the need some rust outer rust repair but have very solid bottoms and seams.there is damage on the left side door and fender where the were jammed together at some point. the fenders are very solid, with minor typical rust at bottoms. very decent inner fenders, air tubes and panels behind headlights.there is some rust out in the roof at the back behind the mouldings,about 8 inches each side. it is an easy repair that will be hidden by the moulding. the gutters are not really affected. the chrome and stainless is all fair to good. the glass should be replaced all the way around. the car is at the point where you need to make a decision on what level of a car you want. i have most bof the body bolts back in the car but it would be easier to pull it back off and do the sheetmetal repairs and body work it needs. there are very few loose pieces as i have most parts at least rough attached. as they say think the worst ad be happy when its not. the pictures should give a good idea and i have more and will take more of your concerns.just ask. i dont use phrases like, it looks ok, or, seems to be. if you ask, i will tell you. it is priced very fairly as i have 2 crowns painted and ready to put together. i do have storage for the car for 30 days but the car absolutely must be paid for in full within 7 days and deposit in 24 hours or i will move right along. overseas buyers fine, i will work with you. 0 and negatives contact me first. but it now maybe but not after 48 hours into auction and will be more than the reserve. thanks!

Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
50 new vehicles by 2025: Ford making big push in China
Tue, Dec 5 2017SHANGHAI — Ford will launch 50 new vehicles in China by 2025, including 15 electrified vehicles, the U.S. firm said at an event in Shanghai on Tuesday, as it looks to rev up sales growth in the market and shift towards cleaner electric cars. Ford's sales in China have been weak in recent months, and the company is scrambling to come up with electric and hybrid vehicles to comply with strict Chinese quotas over production and sales for so-called new energy vehicles, or NEVs. The U.S. automaker is undergoing a broad review of its China operations, part of a strategic re-think under new Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett, which will likely see the company focus on electric commercial vans as well as electric cars. "Between now and 2025, we will launch 50 new vehicles in China, and of those 50 new vehicles, 15 of them will be all-new electrified vehicles," said Peter Fleet, Ford's head of Asia Pacific, pointing to big growth in the "utility" segment. Fleet also said Ford's China revenue would grow by 50 percent over the same period. China is pushing automakers toward electric and hybrid petrol-electric vehicles, setting tough quotas for NEVs that come into play in 2019, and has signaled a longer-term shift away from traditional internal combustion engine cars. The major shift in the world's largest auto market has jolted some automakers, sparking a spate of recent electric vehicle (EV) joint ventures in the market. Ford has announced an EV tie-up with China's Anhui Zotye Automobile Co Ltd. "We've never seen change like we do today," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. "Everything is being disrupted" by the development of autonomous vehicles, trends such as ride-sharing and electric vehicles, he added. "It's clearly the case that China will lead the world in EV development, and so we at Ford are investing enormous amounts of money both here in China and globally to bring electrification into fruition."

2015 Ford F-150 to get up to 26 miles per gallon
Fri, Nov 21 2014The 2015 Ford F-150 is one of the most important US vehicle debuts in years, be it in the pickup segment or the entire marketplace. While we've already known about the truck's engine lineup, its payload ratings and we've even learned a bit about how it drives, the truck's EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings have remained a mystery. The wait is finally over. Ford has announced numbers that put the latest F-150 as the mileage leader among gasoline-powered, full-size pickups in the US, with its new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 topping the charts. Starting with the entry-level naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6, the rear-wheel-drive F-150 is rated at 18-miles-per-gallon city, 25-mpg highway and 20-mpg combined. Opting for four-wheel drive drops those numbers slightly to 17/23/19. If fuel economy is your absolute priority, then upgrading to the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 is the hot ticket. It improves things further to 19/26/22 in rear-wheel drive trim or 18/23/20 with four-wheel drive. The carryover naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 is rated at 15/22/18 as a 4X2 or 15/21/17 as a 4X4. Finally, the flagship 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 tops the range in available torque and offers buyers 17/24/20 ratings with rear-wheel drive or 17/23/19 with four-wheel drive. "We are delivering with the toughest, smartest and most capable F-150 ever – and now the highest EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of any full-size gas-powered pickup in America," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development, in the company's announcement. Depending on engine and drivetrain configuration, Ford contends that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost's top rating puts fuel economy up between 5 and 29 percent over the current generation, thanks in large part to the truck's lighter aluminum construction. Obviously, these are EPA estimates, and your mileage may vary – ours has. Recently, Autoblog team members have had real difficulty even approximating government mpg estimates on many EcoBoost models, including the new F-150.
