RESPONSE TO QUESTION CONCERNING WHY WE ARE SELLING:


"Dear C****,

Thank you for the kind comments on the 1963 Ford Galaxie 500.

It is, indeed, a "cool car".

My wife & I decided to raise some cash to add to our retirement investments & begin to spend longer weekends enjoying a Class A RV that my wife & I just purchased, dingy towing a Jeep behind. Since we will be on the road more often & not be able to care for our collection,
we decided to sell off most of our extensive collection, raising cash for retirement at the same time. We are only retaining a 1934 Ford Tudor, 1957 Chevy Bel Air, 1972 VW Beetle & a 1994 "Ruby" Corvette, each of which one of our children have laid claims on.

The '63 Galaxie, our favorite "family" vehicle, was also our largest vehicle. Given that our youngest daughter has just moved away (finally, an "empty nest" after 39 years & 4 children), the odds of once again needing a large 4 seater for events will be nil going forward. The Convertible top, large trunk, powerful engine & the A/C made it a perfect car to take to shows & Street Rod Nationals, which we did quite often, both before & after the rebuild. Great memories...

The Galaxie is in top mechanical condition & I feel comfortable driving it anywhere at any time. Engine idles nicely, transmission is tight, car accelerates smoothly & stops well.

As items came to my attention for maintenance, they were addressed & resolved in the appropriate manner. Keep in mind that no 50+ year old vehicle is perfect & over time will need to be worked on.

If you take care of her, she will be a great addition to your collection, to your family, and to your memories.

Best regards,

Bart"

Again? Ford issues second 2015 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ seat belt recall

Fri, Aug 16 2019

In 2016, Ford issued a recall for 603,392 2013-2016 Fusions and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZs due to potentially faulty seat belts. Apparently, that wasn't the end of it. Ford announced another recall this week for the same issue, this time covering 108,399 2015 Fusions and MKZs.  In both cases, the seat belt anchor pretensioners are the issue. According to Ford, "increased temperatures generated during deployment of the driver or front-passenger seat belt anchor pretensioner could degrade the tensile strength of the cable below the level needed to restrain an occupant." Basically, heat could weaken the seat belts, and in extreme cases, they wouldn't be able to keep up proper safety standards. Ford knows of at least one injury that has occurred due to this issue.   The recall includes 103,374 vehicles in the United States, 4,002 in Canada, and 1,023 in Mexico. Possibly affected Fusions were built at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and January 30, 2015. The MKZs were built at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and November 21, 2014.  As a fix, Ford says dealers will add an extra coating to the seat belt pretensioner cable for protection from the heat. If this recall might affect your vehicle, call your local Ford dealership and use recall reference No. 19S25. This news comes after Ford recalled 1.3 million Fusions and MKZs in 2018 due to the possibility that the steering wheels could fall off. Fusions have also been recalled due to the risk of rolling away.

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
For more details about the study and the top companies, check out the press release posted below.
