1957 Meteor Rideau500 2dr Hardtop on 2040-cars
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Ford
Drive Type: RWD
Model: Fairlane
Mileage: 199,999
Trim: Meteor Rideau 500
Here is an extremely rare 1957 Meteor Rideau 500 2 door hardtop. This is the Canadian equivalent to the Fairlane 500. Total production was only 2,254 units. There are only a handful of these cars in restored or nice presentable condition left. This car is an older frame off restoration that has always been garaged and cared for - I believe it was restored in the early 1990's, and was a West Coast car since new. It still presents very well and is a beautiful driver. Paint is very nice with some small chipped areas. It is painted in the original yellow/black/white tri-tone color scheme, but the yellow is brighter than the original Ford color that year. Stainless is intact and shows pretty well -- there are some minor dings and marks in the trim, but still looks very good. Interior is very nice presentable original, with some wear on the driver's seat cushion. Original padded dash and visors are nice. The weatherstripping on the driver's door needs to be adjusted so the door fits the quarter panel a little better -- it seems that the reproduction weatherstrips are a too thick or stiff, and that holds the door out slightly. I am missing the small "Rideau500" trunk script. Very clean inside and out, and is very clean underneath. This Meteor has Master Guide power steering, Swift Sure power brakes, and is powered by a 292 yblock and the 3 speed Ford-O-Matic auto trans. New Diamondback Classic www tires just mounted. It runs and drives out great - I would be confident to drive this car anywhere, and it gathers a lot of great attention where ever it goes, as it is a really striking car. Again, this is an older restoration in excellent condition, and I rate this car as a beautiful driver, but it is not a #1 show car. I have this car stored in the Vancouver, British Columbia area. Since this car is advertised in other publications and venues, I may end this auction at any time. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. Payment is by certified funds. Good luck and happy bidding!

Ford names Lincoln chief as North American president following Nair's departure
Thu, Feb 22 2018Ford announced yesterday that its North American president Raj Nair would no longer be working for the company due to "inappropriate behavior." As a result, the company needed fill that gaping vacancy. The new North American president and Ford Group vice president will be Kumar Galhotra, and his term in the new role will start on March 1. Galhotra will remain the group vice president and chief marketing officer for Lincoln through March, meaning he's the head of the luxury brand. He's had this position since 2014. Before that, he was vice president of engineering for all of Ford. With Galhotra's promotion, a number of internal promotions follow. Joy Falotico, current chairman, CEO and group vice president of Ford's credit division will fill Galhotra's position, and Dave McClelland, vice president of marketing for Ford Asia Pacific, will fill her role. Other shuffling at Ford includes Stewart Rawley's promotion to vice president for Ford North America and chief operating officer. He is the current vice president for strategy at Ford. Ford China's chairman and CEO John Lawler will take Rawley's old role, and Cathy O'Callaghan will take over Lawler's job at Ford China, but not until June 1. O'Callaghan is currently vice president, corporate controller and chief financial officer for global markets at Ford. Related Video:
V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.

American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings
Fri, 10 May 2013Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.
