From californiaspecial.com:
"California Made it Happen!" - That was the slogan used by Ford to promote the limited edition California Special
(GT/CS) Mustang in 1968. And in a nutshell it perfectly describes the beginnings of this special Mustang. It was
the California Ford dealerships, with clout built on high sales volume, that got the ball rolling on the
GT/California Special package. Design inspiration came from "Little Red"; a prototype built to study the
possibility of creating a Shelby coupe (which never happened).
So with a combination of Shelby parts and unique GT/CS parts, the California Special Mustang was born.
The GT/CS was unveiled to CA dealers on February 15, 1968 at the Century Plaza Hotel in LA, where it received a
very enthusiastic reception. Shortly afterward the media campaign began in earnest including full page newspaper
ads, TV commercials and billboards; all designed to get the public to visit their local Ford dealer to see the new
Mustang made just for California. The reality though was that the GT/CS expanded beyond CA state lines and was also
sold in other markets including Kansas City, Dallas, Salt Lake, Seattle, Phoenix and Canada.

Ford bringing 10 custom Transit Connects to SEMA

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

With 57 vehicles planned for its SEMA display, it comes as little surprise that Ford has plenty of teasers for its show cars. After showing us what it has in store for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus ST, now we're getting a look at some of the custom creations based on the redesigned 2014 Transit Connect van.
These nine Transit Connects are decked out to various degrees of customization, but our favorite might be the chopped and lowered Transit Connect from Mob Steel (shown above), which has a similar slammed stance that we see on some custom VW Buses. On the opposite extreme, LGE & CTS Motorsports has jacked up a Transit Connect to make a Cross Country cruiser that we wouldn't mind taking on a road trip.
There are seven other teasers from various companies, and you can check them all out in the gallery above or in the press release below. Ford is also promising a tenth Transit Connect for SEMA, so stay tuned for that as well.

Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time

Fri, Aug 15 2014

Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.
