You are looking at a great car that bought it because I have always wanted a Starliner. I am only selling it because I have run out of room in my garage and need the space. The 1960 & 1961 Fords are pretty much over looked, 1960 Ford being almost forgotten. I love the 1961 Starliner and the design and styling are a work of art. The fastback roof line and wide stance coupled with the beautiful fastback roof and flat wings make this car a visual beauty. If you are looking for a truly unique car that is fun to drive and it attracts attention where ever it goes. The two tone paint adds to the line and attractiveness of the Starliner. This car is not perfect but it is a very nice driver that runs strong, shifts good and handles like it should. The paint is good but not perfect and what you would call a 10 footer. The interior is nice and comfortable for even the long trips to the car show.
The 352 FE V8 is intact and runs strong with the factory 300 horse power it moves the Starliner on down the road. It has a stock original 3 speed on the tree. Most of the chrome is new original stock including the rear bumper and grille. The stainless trim is intact but does have some dents in it. It has dual exhaust and it equipped with new mufflers. I have posted pictures of the under carriage and frame and you will see it is in really good shape with only surface rust. The trunk has had some rust like most of these cars but it has been repaired and looks really nice. it is a work of art. I cleaned and resealed the frame and under body myself. The engine is clean and well sorted.
It does have the fender skirts that come with the car. It is an original car that has been very well taken care of and one that has many more miles left in it for you to enjoy. The 1960 Ford Starliner is a car that you can keep and drive in the current condition or spend a little time and effort and make it a trailer queen. If you have any questions please contact me and I will be glad to help you in anyway I can. This car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thank you for looking at my 1960 Starliner and bid to win. While all of Ford's passenger cars were radically redesigned for 1960, the Starliner was Ford's new performance model and the focus of this vintage advertisement. Using frantic music and color video, it's clear Ford wanted everyone to know the 1960 Starliner was the car "for those who wanted the ultimate in performance". Fords were totally redesigned for 1960 from the prior year's model, and whether you love the design or hate it, it is certainly memorable. At 81.5 inches wide the massive '60 Fords were the widest yet, more than an inch wider than the Lincolns of the same year. Even if the cars were huge, that didn't mean Ford was ready to concede any claims of performance. While the 352 V8 was available in any model for 1960, it was primarily marketed in the brand new Starliner. Automotive advertisements of the late '50s and early '60s weren't known for modesty, and this one is no exception. The "extra responsiveness" of the 352 V8 engine "makes the Starliner more fun to drive than any car you've ever driven before." 1960 was somewhat of an off year for car sales and Ford felt the effects just like the other companies. Although Ford managed to sell 68,461 Starliners that year, their total sales numbers were down significantly from 1959. Ford's passenger cars would face a more conservative redesign for the 1961 model year. Unfortunately, 1960 Fords have a fairly low survival rate, making it pretty hard to find any car from that year. On Jul-17-14 at 22:00:57 PDT, seller added the following information: I have conflicting information on the horse power of the 352. I stated it is 300 hp from one online source but I had another source pointed out to me that it says 220 hp. I apologize for any confusion on the actual Horse power of the engine. It runs strong and has plenty of power to enjoy. |

The second part must be mailed in on company letterhead and gets down to the nuts and bolts of the vision and the provision of company bona fides. The complete proposal is due on March 1, winners will be notified by May 1. Click the link below to get all the details, and for show attendees, get ready to see some funky Fiestas and wild shaggin' wagons in Las Vegas come November.
Ford Focus RS will go global, come to US
Thu, Dec 11 2014"We are transforming our approach to performance." – Mark Fields Ford will launch a new high-performance Focus RS around the world, including the United States, company CEO Mark Fields confirmed at a press conference Thursday morning. It is expected to debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show, though launch timing is unclear. "We are transforming our approach to performance," Fields said. The RS will serve as a hotter variant of the Focus, which will be redesigned next year as part of Ford's 16 product launches. Our spy photographers have already captured images of a purported RS, which you can see above. Ford last sold a Focus RS in Europe in 2009, and it continues the long lineage of RS-badged performance cars, which dates to 1968. "The RS has a significant heritage and pedigree," Ford product chief Raj Nair said. The Focus RS will slot above the Focus ST, which will continue, a spokesman said. The ST runs a turbocharged, 252-horsepower four-cylinder that's paired with a six-speed manual transmission. It also has chassis and design upgrades to reinforce its athletic dynamics. The most recent intel suggests that the new RS could use Ford's 2.3-liter turbo-four, tuned to anywhere from 325 to 350 hp. All-wheel drive is also rumored to be part of the new RS formula. Meanwhile, Ford announced it is putting all of its sporty units under the umbrella name of "Ford Performance," which will be led by Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Ford Performance will include Ford Racing, SVT (which is responsible for the Raptor and Shelby GT350) and RS. "We're changing Ford's performance business," Nair said. Ford is placing a renewed emphasis on performance, as the customers tend to be younger, wealthier and better educated, Nair said. In other news, Nair said the company is working on a Raptor version of the new, aluminum-bodied F-150, which launched this year. "I want to get it out as quickly as we can," he said.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
