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. |

Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars
Wed, Jan 9 2019Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
