1956 Ford Thunderbird, 312V8, Auto trans, power steering/brakes/windows, TC radio, tinted glass, working power seat, padded dash, original seat belts. Late production in unbelievably nice original unrestored condition with original paint and upholstery. The "top " was repainted for stress crack repair.

No rust, excellent body. I am the third owner, sold new in Southern California, always garaged and pampered. Runs and drives nice. Porthole top only. Old Mark 4 a/c unit. Original owners manual, some records and books came with it. It has won survivor class events. The car shows some patina and some minor issues. The bottom of the seat on the driver's side has some seam separations, but is useable and presentable. I had to replace the carpet. The inside chrome is very nice and clean. The top headliner is clean and latches are nice and correct. The T&C radio is clean but stopped working. The tack face is nice, but the cable came in a ziplock bag (?) The clock is clean but not operating. The interior light works as does the lighting system, outside too. The tail light lenses were replaced. The engine all looks correct. I don't know if any of the drivetrain is rebuilt, but it runs and shifts right, no leaks and doesn't run hot. There is no signs of a collision. Bumpers have good original chrome. The original skirts are on it. The original jack is there, trunk floor is solid, rubber mat is very good, the exhaust is in good shape, comes out below the bumpers so no soot marks. This car gets the looks because it is original. The Ford crest is still visable on the original seat. The car has the 1956 vinyl smell, not smoked in.

The car had a frame mounted trailer hitch on it when I got it. The stance was all wrong, too high in the back (grossly high), so I removed it, and now it sits right, but two small tabs are left on the frame and can easily be removed. I am physically unable to do it (stroke). Former owner had a Chris-craft he pulled. The front bumper has no dents or twists and the bumper bullets are nice. The upper lip moulding has a small ding. Correct headlight rings, pans, grill are all good. It doesn't appear to have been hit. The plastic emblems are all original, body-hubcaps (some fading). The rear tire folds back correctly. No rust under trunk lid lip or hood. This is truly a rare survivor! For it's age, it's the best one I've had. The tires are bias ply with very good tread, correct rims and caps. The original keys and locks work. The driver's window has one crack, no bubbles or separation in windshield or back, sides. The top seals look good but the door rubber is dry but useable.

Payment should be cashier check, money order, bank to bank wire transfer, or personal check. Funds will be received before release of vehicle. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.
