1963 Ford Falcon Sedan Great Condition on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
This is probably one of the nicer 63 Falcon's in Charlotte, NC. I've owned it for about a year and half. Since I've had it I've installed a new rebuild Carb. Had the original radiator rebuilt. Bought an original air cleaner and had it power coated Ford blue the air cleaner shown is not the new air cleaner. I can send you a picture of it if you want. And taken it to a few shows. It has won a trophy several times.
Please feel free to come look at the car and we can take it for a spin if you are interested. I'm selling this one because I have another one I'm restoring plus I'd like to get an old F-100 truck. I have a few more pictures I can email you or I can take pics of areas you want to see. Below is the description From when the car was listed at "Streetside classics" here in Charlotte. They did not sell me the car. I bought it from the owner at a local car show. Inexpensive daily driver or economical way to join the greatest hobby on Earth? This 1963 Ford Falcon 2-door sedan offers a great, early-60s look and fuel economy thats still in style almost 50 years later. For this price, its really hard to go wrong with this Falcon. Anywhere you go, you're guaranteed to cause a stir, and imagine making this your daily driver for the warm weather months each year? You'd start to look forward to your commute, you'd instantly be recognized everywhere you go, all for a price thats half that of so-called economy cars sold in the new car showrooms. The paint and bodywork are quite good, so there's no need to pick up a worn-out beater to enjoy the style and substance of the 60s. In fact, it was treated to a professional paint job a few years ago in Glacier Blue, which was on the palette in 1963. Chrome and trim were still all the rage in the early 60s, and even the affordable Falcon got a good dose, from the simple grille to the trim rings around the jet-exhaust-inspired taillights. The interior looks great and the comfortable woven inserts will help keep your backside cool in the summer months. The floating instrument panel hails from an era when designers were free to follow their imaginations, and offers a neat row of knobs underneath for the secondary controls. This was a pretty basic Falcon, so there's not even an AM radio, but at least the heater and defroster were standard equipment by 1963. And, of course, there is that automatic transmission which makes it easy to drive in traffic again, making it the perfect daily driver. A 200 cubic inch inline-six provides the power, and that's also the source of its economy. Smooth and reliable, its going to get you wherever you need to go and sips gas while its doing it. No, its not a tire-shredding muscle car, but this is about affordable, economical, and highly stylish transportation, right? The bright Ford Blue engine is tidy and clean, showing no evidence of leaks or damage, and starts easily with a prod of the accelerator. Parts are still readily available at your local parts store, and it takes little more than a crescent wrench and screwdriver to keep it in top form. Lots of new gear, including hoses, plugs, wires, and a recent exhaust system practically eliminate up-front costs, so all you need to do is start enjoying the ride. Even the 185/80/13 whitewall radials are shockingly affordable and fitted to simple color-matched steel wheels. |

Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
J Mays' legacy
Fri, 15 Nov 2013
Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
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.
