No Reserve - 1954 Ford Crestline Victoria V8 , 51k, Rare Sedan, Three Speed Automatic This is a cool, original and complete 54 Ford Crestline Victoria Sedan with the 239 V8. This Ford Sedan features options such as bumper protectors, AM radio, MagicAire system, rear blower defrost (works but noisy) and dashboard clock. The electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volt. There were many improvements for the 1954 model. This is from conceptcarz.com: 1954 was a successful year for Ford, as it introduced a host of new technology and styling advances. With their slogan 'More than ever, the standard for the American road,' Ford was intent on becoming the leader in the low-priced, entry-level market. There were also major mechanical improvements new for 1946: In 1954, Ford introduced their all-new, overhead-valve 'Y-block' V8 engine. The unit displaced 239-cubic inches and had a 7.8:1 compression ratio. Horsepower increased by nearly 25 percent than that of the old flathead, powered by a 239 cubic-inch V8 engine offering 130 horsepower. There is an engine-tuned instrument panel, an AM radio and the Ford-O-Matic automatic gearbox. The car is There are four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes and an independent front suspension. I bought the Ford from an old hot rodder who had had it since the late 70's and was moving. He told me the engine and transmission have about 10k on them, my mechanic says it drives and sounds like a rebuilt drivetrain. Recent work includes new exhaust with the "cherrybomb" muffler (as seen in the pix), brakes, tuneup with points and coil, fuel lines and fuel pump and belts and hoses. The lights work, the heater works but the switch is intermittent, the works once in a while but needs a new speaker. Clock and AM radio do not work, horn does. Modern stereo mounted under dash. All the glass is in very good shape, all windows work, one small crack at the corner of one of the driver's window. The driver's rear brake cylinder has gotten sticky at times, will need to be replaced. The interior is original, nicer seat covers on the car now, door panels are discolored and a bit frayed but complete, headliner will need to be redone. The car was painted black with a satin finish, it was originally blue. The pix in the sun were taken shortly after the car was painted about 4 years ago. The bumpers were painted a metallic silver, front bumper has a dent behind the driver's side bumper guard. Small spots of corrosion in a couple of places but the floors trunk and frame are solid. The engine runs off a 10 gallon marine fuel cell in the trunk. I have the original tank which needs to be boiled out but these days reproductions are a much cheaper solution. The original hubcaps are back on the car now with fairly new Michelin tires. The paint looks good from 10 feet but could use a professional repaint, the previous owner did it himself. I will include the American Racing wheels in the pix for an additional $500. It's a fun car to drive! She starts up immediately even after sitting, the acceleration is good, she shifts easy and the ride is good for an all orginal car from 1954. This is a cool looking, good running old ratrod Ford and wouldn't take much to get perfect. From what I've seen the 54 Ford mostly came as coupes, it's hard to find a four door. No leaks from anywhere, garage floor always dry when I pull her out. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Ford is for sale locally and I'm willing to accept reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. Nice 50's hot rod which could use some flames and Cragars, perfect for cruise nights. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230 |

2015 Ford Expedition
Mon, 21 Jul 2014While the tide of bigger-is-better SUVs has been in recession since, well, the recession, fullsize utes are still very much with us. Conservative creatures that have been loathe to evolve, fullsize SUVs nonetheless remain enduringly popular among large families, livery customers, and anyone with lots of friends, relatives, and toys to tug around. With respect to Toyota and Nissan, the only players that really matter in the segment are the new-for-2015 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban, the GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, and this truck: the Ford Expedition, the latest evolution of which we just drove for the first time at a press preview in West Virginia.
Unlike the General Motors utilities, the standard Expedition and the long-wheelbase Expedition EL are not all-new, but rather are heavily refreshed versions of the same basic truck Ford started selling way back in 2007. The front fascia is where most of the exterior update happens for 2015, with a new three-bar grille design, halogen projector headlamps, and new bumper design with available LED foglamps. Despite all the new bits, the facelift breaks exactly zero ground in terms of design; in fact, it already looks dated, and will only look older once the macho 2015 F-150 bows later this year. Even less has changed out back, where the tailgate gets a wide chrome band spanning the taillamps and a new chrome exhaust tip. Other exterior changes are generally limited to colors and an all-new wheel lineup that includes a gleaming set of six-spoke 22-inch polished wheels on high-end models.
Speaking of high-end models, a new Platinum trim is positioned above the cowboy-spec King Ranch model for 2015. Both the Platinum and King Ranch get their own color combos and exterior trim finishes (satin metal for the Platinum, chrome everywhere and ginormous badges for the King Ranch) and posh, leather-lined interiors with their own aesthetic. The Expedition family also now includes a price-leading XL model, as well as XLT and Limited grades.
Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena
Fri, Dec 5 2014Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
