57 Thunderbird Azure Blue 312cid on 2040-cars
Nuevo, California, United States
Not all 1957 "Baby
Birds" are the same. This 57 year old, always garaged Bird was one of the
last 1957s off the assembly line on or after the October 1957 build run. While
most all of 21,380 1957 T-Birds had the Starmist Blue paint this beauty has the
"Azure Blue" paint code that was introduced on the last runs of 1957
models (October 14th-December 13th 1957) for the 1958 model color. It sports the town and country radio that
takes about two minutes to warm up, and
for your comfort, a power seat and a
heater. The automatic transmission is
attached to the 312 CID V-8 and both operate smoothly with the help of the
Kelsey Hayes wheels and radial whitewalls. When you remove the top it has the
rolling rack for storing it. The gentleman I purchased the car from about 10 years ago sold it only because
he was unable to get in and out of it because of a hip replacement, and if you've have ever climbed behind the
wheel of one on of the early Birds you know it's not an easy task , even with a
good hip and the telescopic steering wheel all the way retracted. The history
passed on to me from the gentleman I purchased it from about 10 years ago is
that he purchased the car used from Ken Roggy Ford in La Puente in 1960 and had
it cosmetically redone again in 1985.
This is a no rust vehicle and is open to any inspection. This T-Bird like all
the Early "Birds" will only continue to go up in price. It's a true classic that is road ready is worth the
investment even if you just park it the garage to look at, and drive it one time a month around town
like I have done. The pictures attached do this car no justice. It's been
covered and I took the pictures prior to washing it. The purchaser is
responsible for pick up and delivery a $1000 deposit through paypal to hold for
10 days and the balance to be cashiers check, cash or bank wire paid and
cleared prior to pick-up.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.

2014 Ford Mustang GT
Fri, 17 May 2013I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
