Up for grabs is a SUPER clean Ford Galaxie 500 XL Hard Top Kustom Low Rider.. All 4 windows roll down to expose the amazing look of the hard top ( no post) This is a Low rider that turns heads everywhere it goes. Its straight as an arrow, California car.. No rot or rust that I have found anywhere. This low low is set up with 2 chrome Viair pumps, Bagged on all 4 corners, Astro Supreme wheels with brand new pinner Hankook radials, Bellflower tips, 4 switches with psi indicators for left and right pumps. Has a FRESH 352 FE that has been rebuilt and only 5800 miles on it since the rebuild, no leaks or smoking at all. Doors are shaved and has, mild not wild, very nicely done pinstripping on the deck lid and on the hood. Custom silver interior. Custom steering wheel, Custom Grille, Faux Appleton spotlights, Paint is a very nice relaxing silver base with green topcoat and cleared over.. Roof is silver but could use a nice new coat of clear.. I was gonna use the silver base and panel it with heavy metal flake. Has a CD player in the glove box in good working condition. This is not in show car condition with $20k paint.. but expect to gather a big crowd around it everywhere you go. Transmission is very strong. Beautiful chrome bumpers. I have driven this car confidently 200+ miles runs.. I will also throw in a brand new Edlebrock Intake and Nice Finned MT valve covers.. The only issues I have seen and their not really issues at all to me, but couple of the dash knobs are missing and when its " laying frame" you have to put it in the neutral position. This is due to the Neutral Safety Switch position as the car lays on the ground. And only other thing is a very small leak in one of the hoses and very small leak in the 5gal tank very very easily fixed, as I was gonna upgrade to .. Very cheap and easy fixes. Wasnt a deal killer for me when I purchased it, just never got around to fixing. Small almost out of site, scrape on right front corner of the bumper, I believe the previous owner in California pulled in somewhere with the car too low and bottomed out.. and lastly the e-brake pedal is depressed all the way to the floor, It appears p.o bypassed the e-brake.. again not an issue for me cause I lay frame when I park and trust me, car isnt moving anywhere!! Please bid in confidence, DO NO BID IF YOUR NOT SURE.. Last thing I want is Tire kickers.. Please have positive feedback when bidding. I will not pay for shipping but will work with buyer very and do everything I can in my power to help load the car.. I have listed this to the best of my ability. If your offering trades i would only be interested in 1927-1940 Fords ( coupes or roadster) with equal value.. This vehicle will also be up for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The reserve is set lower than what the car is worth. Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car

Fri, Jan 6 2017

Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 01 Feb 2014

Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.

Ford recalls 382k vehicles across six campaigns

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Ford needs to repair a total of 381,633 vehicles in North America across six newly announced campaigns, including five safety recalls and one compliance recall. By far the largest of these campaigns covers the 342,271 examples of the 1998-2003 Windstar to double check an earlier recall repair. Among these, 283,413 are in the US and 58,858 are in Canada. The combination of corrosion and stress can cause cracks in the rear axle and eventually lead to the part to snap completely. The company reports a small number of accidents might be connected to this, but there are no injuries. The minivans were recalled for this issue back in 2010, and it was investigated by NHTSA. According to Ford's latest announcement, the reinforcement brackets on some of these models might not have been installed correctly. This time, dealers will perform an inspection. Minivans with incorrectly installed brackets will get a new rear axle. The rest of the owners will be offered a deal to replace the part at a reduced cost. The next largest campaign covers 36,857 examples of the 2015 F-150 to fix a problem with the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, there are 33,481 affected trucks in the US, and 3,376 in Canada. According to Ford, "when passing a large, highly reflective truck" the radar in the system can misidentify a semi as being in the same lane as the pickup. The collision warning system would then activate, slowing the F-150. There's one report of an accident with this happening but no injuries. The fix is simply an update to the adaptive cruise control module software. Ford also has a recall for 1,477 examples of its 2016 F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models, and they're all located in the US. A manufacturing issue might allow the trucks to shift into reverse without the driver first applying the brakes. There are no reports of any accidents from this, though. To repair the problem, the models get a new transmission shift control bracket and an adjustment to the shift cable. The Blue Oval's safety compliance recall covers 708 examples of the 2016 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, including 658 of them in the US, 28 in Canada, and 22 in Mexico. On these models, a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank could allow it to crack in a crash, which isn't allowed under federal rules. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires. The fix will be a new fuel tank for all of them. The company is also repairing 251 units of the 2015 Taurus and Lincoln MKS, plus the 2016 Explorer.
