If you want to be the star of any car show this is your FORD. This was the dream of a local Atlanta radio personality. It was a no expense spared creation with approximately two hundred thousand dollars spent. The car was built to drive, as well as star in any show. It rides on an Art Morrison tube chassis, and is equipped with four wheel Wilwood disc brakes, and power rack and pinion steering. If you never driven a car with this chassis/suspension setup you cannot believe how well it goes, stops, steers, and handles. It isn't as good as a new car, it's BETTER! All with the classic looks of the Fifties. The metal work, and chassis setup, was all done by Bryan Fuller Hot Rods, of TV fame, in his Atlanta shop. As you can imagine the underside of the car is just as impressive as the rest of the body.  My lift is broken or I'd include photos.

Power is from a Ford Racing 460 crate engine rated at 500 horsepower. Behind this powerhouse is a beefed up Ford C-6 automatic sending horses to a nine inch Ford rear with 3:50 gear ratio. This thing is FAST, but can be driven around town, or across country. It has power windows, doors, trunk, and top. The top is a Mercedes type cloth with a full leather top boot cover when down. The power seat and door panels are full soft grain leather. If you just want to cruise, you'll be comfy with the Vintage Air system and the AM/FM/CD mounted just under the dash and the beautifuly restored original steering wheel on a new tilt column.

The car is a deep metallic Black Cherry, which at night appears black, but is absolutely dazzling in the sun. The body is straight as a laser, as are all body gaps, as you would expect in a car of this calibre. The stainless side trim is from a '56 Fairlane 500. All chrome, glass, and stainless trim is beautiful.  The wheels are polished American Racing Salt Flats carrying Michelin rubber. Nothing but the best of everything went into the build on this car. I own 10 classic cars and none get the attention of this one.  This type of quality is never cheap, but you can own the car for less that half of what was spent building it. It has been driven 2250 miles by me since it's completion and is still being driven on special occasions. It lives inside my house and has never seen rain. If you're a Ford fan you'll love this one.

I'm not interested in any trades. I will not disclose the reserve price. The car is currently registered in Georgia as a 1955 Ford. Georgia does not issue titles on cars of this age, so the car will be sold with current GA registration paperwork and bill of sale. Payment must be by cash in person or Bank Wire transfer to my account.

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.

Trump to meet with CEOs from Ford, GM, and FCA

Tue, Jan 24 2017

In the wake of his inauguration, President Donald Trump is set to meet with the CEOs of Ford, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Tuesday morning to discuss jobs, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and potential tax cuts. Trump has been highly critical of American automakers for shipping jobs to Mexico and has threatened to impose heavy import fees on foreign-made vehicles. Trump has threatened to dissolve NAFTA in order to encourage automakers to manufacture cars in the US. Automotive News and Crain's Detroit Business are reporting that the group is set to discuss how to bring more auto industry jobs back to the US. Under NAFTA, many automakers, both foreign and domestic, have moved vehicle production out of the States to Mexico in order to cut costs. White House spokesperson Sean Spicer said Trump is looking forward to the meeting and discussing how to bring jobs back to America. Dismantling NAFTA would be a major blow to automakers. Trump blasted Ford during his campaign for manufacturing in Mexico, but FCA and GM also have factories south of the border. Earlier this month, Ford nixed plans for a $1.6 billion plant in Mexico, instead investing $700 million into an existing facility. At this year's Detroit Auto Show, the unspoken theme was America and American manufacturing. Expect the automakers to fight to keep NAFTA alive.

Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang – 204 points Hyundai Genesis – 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 – 297 points Chevrolet Colorado – 205 points Lincoln MKC – 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media – magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.
