1960 Ford Thunderbird for Sale. Ford's introduction of the Thunderbird in 1955 as a competitor to Chevy's newly released Corvette that was a success. Like the Corvette, a popular two seater sports car designed to capture the young American Buyer. That all changed drastically in 1958 when Ford attempted to redefine what constituted a sports car. Ford realized the need for a car with sports car appeal but with room for four. In 1958, this radical change was met with mixed feelings and a belief existed that Ford had missed the market. Over the next two years, Ford continued with modifications and by 1960, the car known by many as "Box Birds" was well established. Sporty styling with sculptured lines, bucket seats, console, and a rear seat that simulated two more bucket seats in appearance but allowed room with seating for three. Still striving for the youth in their marketing program but also accommodating young families with room for the kids in the back or perhaps room to take parents or in-laws out to dinner. Here's a wonderful example of such a car. Finished in an antique white with a color coordinated and complimenting red and white interior. Powered by Ford's 352 CI V8 and mated to a smooth shifting automatic transmission, power steering and factory air conditioning. Moving to the interior you will notice power windows, power driver's seat, and an aftermarket AM/FM stereo to provide those great cruising sounds. The exterior is complimented by high gloss chrome and bright work adding to the car's appeal. The car rolls on a set of factory steel wheels with full wheel discs carrying Coker Classic wide white wall radials in 225/75R 14. Thunderbirds are extremely popular with car enthusiasts from around the world! Whether it's the first Tri-Five, Little Birds, or the Box Birds as you see here, or later models, they are great cruisers and a definite collectible. Ford enthusiasts, here's a great example of a second generation Thunderbird that is ready to cruise and enjoy! THIS AUCTION CAN BE ENDED EARLY!!

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.
