1957 Ford Fairlane 500 312 Interceptor V8 Matching Numbers 3 Speed W/ Overdrive on 2040-cars
Marshfield, Missouri, United States
Matching Numbers 1957 Ford Fairlane 500, 2 Door, 312 Interceptor V-8, 3-Speed On The Column With Factory Installed Overdrive, dual exhaust with stainless steel tips. This car was restored by the previous owner. Paint is beautiful with a few minor flaws (chip in the headlight cup due to the aluminum not adhering well). All chrome is in original condition, shines well but can see minor pitting upon detailed inspection. Interior is flawless tan colored full quill ostrich carried through to the trunk. The car is all original with the exception of the wheels, radiator, dash cluster, and there is a kenwood stereo hidden in the glove compartment (original radio in the dash). The odometer reads 570 miles on the rebuilt motor as the original dash cluster had to be replaced. Matching numbers throughout the car. A VIN search revealed the car was manufactured in Memphis, Tennessee and I am the 3rd owner. I love the car and turn every head when I drive it, but I have a business and a young family and just don't have the time to devote to showing and caring for the car. I have rarely driven it in the past 2 years which has led me to the decision to sell it. It is in beautiful shape but still has a few details that the new owner can enjoy restoring such as a dash knob needing replaced, locating and installing the air conditioning unit (the original was removed and not replaced at time of restoration), etc. I don't have experience with vehicle shipping but will do my part on this end once the buyer has made the arrangements. Thank you for your time.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
2016 Ford Explorer embarks at the LA Auto Show
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Twenty-five years since its debut in 1990, Ford will celebrate a quarter century of Explorer models next year with the debut of a refreshed 2016 model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. The Blue Oval is keeping mum on hard details about the updated SUV for now, but the brand promises, "a new look, added capability and additional driver-assist technology," in its announcement.
Company marketing boss Jim Farley elaborated a little more on what to expect. "The new Explorer is still the SUV America fell in love with - a vehicle built for the perfect family adventure," he said in the release that you're welcome to read down below.
An updated Explorer is a pretty big deal for Ford's bottom line. Worldwide, SUVs and crossovers account for about 23 percent of Ford's sales, and the segment is projected to grow to around 29 percent by 2020. Ford further says that SUVs and CUVs are the world's quickest growing segment with demand up 88 percent since 2008.
Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium
Thu, 21 Mar 2013According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...
