Here is your chance to have a kool cruiser without breaking the bank.This is a 1954 Ford that was bought from a dealer in late 53 and so back then some states required dealers to title the vehicle in the year that it was purchased. That being said to clear up why the title says 53 but it is clearly a 54. I recently acquired this car from a old man that needed to sell off his collection. He told me the car was restored in the early 80's but recently to sell it they made a bunch of improvements including new gas tank, new brake lines, shoes, wheel cylinders, new master cylinder, fuel pump, thermostat, fan belt, radiator hoses, battery and NOS taillight lenses. Radio was sent off and restored to factory specs but was not hooked all back up. The car has the 223 with a 3 speed and overdrive. I have drove the car about 100 miles since I bought it and it goes down the highway great keeping right up with traffic. The things I have found that it needs are all little things like the overdrive needs a new switch to get it working, The speedometer needs a cable. The temp gauge is not working but looks like the gas gauge is. The for the starter is bad (I have been just jumping across it) starts every time and I did find a new one under the seat I just have not put it on. Car has 3" lowering blocks on the back to give it that tail dragger stance. Trunk and floors have been patched. The reason I am selling it is to finish my F100 and the bike I am building. My loss on this fun little car is your gain. Forgot to mention the spring is broke on the main hood latch. Easy fix. May be a extra in the trunk with several other extra parts.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
