1955 Ford Thunderbird Base Convertible 2-door 4.8l on 2040-cars
Canandaigua, New York, United States
|
Exquisite 1955 Ford Thunderbird. This car was rebuilt and
reconditioned to exacting standards. I originally purchased this vehicle from
Turner Automotive in Victor, NY, approximately 15 years ago to add to my car
and motorcycle collection. It has won several awards including Best in Show and
Best in Class at shows in the Rochester area. The car is extremely attractive
with a creamy white exterior. The interior is an outstanding red with white
accents. This car has the original 6 volt system. It runs very well. It was my
original intention to keep this car for my daughter when she grows up.
Unfortunately, I was seriously injured in an accident last summer and can no
longer drive or maintain a 3-speed manual shift car. Therefore, I am forced to
part with this beautiful piece of machinery. The car was recently appraised for
$54,000-$55,000. I have set the reserve much lower than this. From what I can
ascertain the original mileage is just over 20,000 miles. The undercarriage is
just as clean as the engine compartment and the rest of the car. I am available
anytime to answer questions. Hopefully, the photos speak for themselves about
this beautiful example of American car history. |

2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal
Fri, 22 Mar 2013True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
