1960 Mercury Frontenac / Ford Falcon 2 Dr on 2040-cars
Kanata, Ontario, Canada
|
She might look a bit rough - but no surprises ! Needs rear 1/4s and front floor pans. All avail repop for small money. The car is a 1960 Mercury Frontenac 2 door - an extremely rare Canadian sister car to the American Ford Falcon. Identical in every way except Frontenac trim (most of which is NOT included in this sale - I will include a Frontenac hood script and decklid script and rear fender spears - 3 per side) The car has been PROPERLY disassembled, bagged and tagged. Everything is there and included (except Frontenac trim as noted, air filter cover). Glass is good. Stainless good (drip rails need polishing but are restorable). Has Deluxe stainless trim...which is included. Was running driving car when bought, prior to disassembly in 2013. I have another project on the go - something has to move along as I am short on storage space. This is the early car with 4 lug wheels. So - restore as a Frontenac or Falcon - up to you. Priced to move right along. I do not Paypal. $500 non-refundable deposit holds for 21 days. The blue example included in photos is just to give an idea of how would look restored. Up to you. Some folks like to use these to pro-street or for gassers. More pics on request. |

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.
Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
