1956 Ford Crown Victoria in Fiesta red & Colonial White. This car is equipped with a 312 V-8, with a 4 barrel carburetor and is 3 speed manual. It has a nice factory correct reproduction ABC interior, with optional NOS factory wire hubcaps, front & rear crash guards, fender skirts and a rear deck antenna. The car has a solid body with an older restoration done in lacquer. The Colonial White paint has developed some hairline cracks at stress points, such as the mirrors, door handles and rear deck antenna. The car does not have cracks in the white paint all over, only at the stress points, as shown. The car still won a 3rd place trophy recently in a show. However, I'd consider it a nice cruise night car, rather than a show car. To be a true show car, the car should be repainted; it all depends what you want for the car. Some people want a cruise night car and others want a show car. That being said, she draws a lot of attention where ever we take her and is still very sharp looking. Her chrome is good and was replaced, not rusty, not dented. The car is not dented and scraped up. The car is in excellent shape mechanically, with the motor having been completely rebuilt and no expense has been spared to keep her properly maintained to drive any where. The speedometer reads 74 thousand and some odd miles, which we believe to be original, but can't guarantee it. We had wanted to restore her to her original trophy winning days, where she was always a contender, but due to some unforseen health issues, we are going to part with our baby. There will be a lot of tears when she goes, as we have a lot of memories with this car, since we've owned it since 1985. We just hope she gets a good home, where she can be enjoyed and create a lot of great memories for years to come, for her new owner, like she did for us. There is a lot of additional parts, including new chrome to put on the car if it would be redone. The chrome she has now is nice, but this stuff is more show quality. We also have some used parts put back in case she would have ever been wrecked while we had her. Thankfully, we never had to use those parts. The price we want for the car, is just for the car and any parts not on the car, would be at an additional cost. If you buy the car, I'll give you a better deal on the parts, than if I sell them separately. No parts, will be sold unless the car is sold first. The car just had the carburetor totally redone and she runs like a top; I wouldn't be afraid to take her any where. That being said, this car is being sold as is and there is no warranty implied. Also, this car is being advertised locally, so an immediate local sale could result in the listing being ended prematurely. If you have any questions, or would like additional pictures, just give me a call. Call Ray at 717-407-5115 or email joypom55@yahoo.com On Aug-24-14 at 10:48:44 PDT, seller added the following information: For those of you, who are seriously interested in this car, please note that the pictures of the hairline cracks at stress points, look worse in pics, than they do on the car. Those pics. were taken practically on top of the cracks to make them show up in the pics. Also, a couple people asked me, if the car has overdrive and the answer is no. As far as the restoration, there was no frame work needed, including no cross member work needed. The work that was done to this car, was done by a professional body man, who did the car up for himself. He did work behind the rear wheel wells and the rockers and that was about it. This was a solid car to begin with and we used to show the car regularly and win trophies with it. That being said, no older restoration can compete with somebody's brand new restoration for trophies. We prefer to go to cruises any more than enter car shows, but it's all in what you want to do with the car. Currently, we use her as a fun, attention getting cruise night car. |

Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
Volvo, Kia and BYD duke it out in the finals for World Car of 2024
Mon, Feb 26 2024Three electric vehicles — none produced by an American manufacturer — will compete next month for the title of 2024 World Car of the Year, it was announced Monday. The finalists are the Kia EV9, the Volvo EX30 and the BYD Seal (shown above). The latter two are built in China. The three top finalists in five other categories were also named at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland. The winners in all six categories will be revealed live during an awards ceremony at the New York International Auto Show on March 27. This year marks the 20th year of the World Car Awards and the partnership with the New York show. Besides car of the year, the other finalists are: Electric vehicle: BMW i5, Kia EV9, Volvo EX30; Luxury car: BMW 5 Series/i5, Mercedes Benz E-Class, Mercedes Benz EQE SUV; Performance car: BMW M2, BMW XM, Hyundai Ionia 5 N; Urban car: BYD Dolphin, Lexus LBX, Volvo EX30; World Car Design: Ford Bronco, Ferrari Purosangue, Toyota Prius. Only Ford among U.S. companies has an entry in the final selections, and only in one category, design, for the Bronco. BMW has four vehicles in the finals, Volvo has three, Kia and Mercedes have two each. BYD from China has two entries as well. The Seal went on sale in in its home market in 2022 and is now available in most of the rest of the world. The BYD Co. (which stands for Build Your Dreams) has surpassed Tesla to become the worldÂ’s biggest maker of electric vehicles, and has its sights set on the U.S. The selection process for World Cars involves 100-plus automotive journalists from 29 countries who vote, as they review and test-drive the eligible vehicles for the 2024 awards. Their journey is captured virtually on World Car TV. Design/Style Geneva Motor Show BMW Ferrari Ford Hyundai Kia Lexus Mercedes-Benz Toyota Volvo Best Cars World Car of the Year
FCA, Ford idle plants due to semiconductor shortage
Fri, Jan 8 2021DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford and FCA will become the latest automakers to idle production facilities due to a semiconductor shortage. Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky will idle for a week, borrowing a down period from later in the year to compensate. Per Automotive News, FCA is idling its Brampton facility in Ontario, Canada, and one other site which has not yet been identified. Louisville Assembly is the production site for the Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair SUVs; Brampton Assembly produces the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger for FCA. A Ford spokeswoman, who declined to identify the semiconductor supplier, confirmed the temporary shutdown to Reuters. In this, FCA and Ford join Nissan and potentially Honda in idling production in the wake of the shortage, which also hit Volkswagen late last year. The shortages are being blamed on consumer demand for silicon after production slowdowns resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. Volkswagen said it had to adjust production schedules in China, Europe and North America to compensate. Nissan said it planned to reduce production of the Note, a hybrid electric car, at its Oppama Plant in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, but did not give details of the scale of the output cut. The Nikkei newspaper reported that Nissan would slash its Note production at Oppama to about 5,000 units in January, from an initially planned 15,000 units. "A global shortage of semiconductors has affected parts procurement in the auto sector. As a result of this shortage, the Oppama Plant in Japan will adjust production in January, reducing production of the Nissan NOTE," Nissan said in a statement.
