HERE IS A GORGEOUS BODY-ON RESTORED HIGH-END DRIVER IN THIS 1957 FORD THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE WITH MATCHING NUMBERS 312CI/245HP MOTOR AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN A STUNNING COLOR COMBINATION THAT IS TURN-KEY AND READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE!

Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME. 

Vehicle came out of Auburn Indiana. Previous owner had done a recent body-on restoration on the vehicle, which included paint/bodywork, new chrome bumpers, new interior, new convertible top, new whitewall tires, new gas tank and tons more. This is a RUST-FREE CAR that is turn-key and ready to drive anywhere.

OPTIONS:

Power steering

Power brakes

Vintage Air Conditioning

Two Tops (porthole hardtop in white, and convertible top)

#s Matching 312ci/245hp V8 motor

Automatic transmission

Whitewall tires

Under the hood lies a virtually all stock and unmodified 312ci motor with factory 245hp. Meticulously serviced throughout its life. Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts good without any noises or grinding. I drive the car about once every other week for short trips around down or every once in a while I'll take it to a cruise night on the highway. It has never let me down and always performs great. 

Interior is basically all stock and COMPLETELY REDONEDoor panels in excellent shape. Dash is very clean (has carpeted dash cover in pictures, but clean underneath with some glue strips on it). Seats in excellent shape throughout. Nice carpet. Overall beautifully presentable for a high end driver.

EXCELLENT CHROME throughout (front and rear bumpers were rechromed and look great).

Underside has a SOLID frame with NO rot or major rust other than some on the surface. Floors appear very nice. Trunk pan looks very good as well.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in VERY GOOD shape throughout, and although it looks fairly good with plenty of shine, it has various small chips, and one 2" hairline crack by front passenger wheel well. Not working: wipers (NEW motor included but not yet installed), may need a couple of bulbs replaced here and there, a/c could use recharge/service. Brakes work fine but steers to the right when braking hard (most likely worn wheel cylinder, which I will have my mechanic replace before auction ends if I get to it). Missing: one rear wheel skirt. Two smaller gauges from dash cluster were removed and rebuilt, not yet reinstalled (they are included of course). NEW weatherstripping and window felt strips are included with the car, but not yet installed. Convertible top canvas has two tiny holes from being "pinched" behind the seat when stored.

So overall she is not perfect and will need some form of very minor TLC depending on how nice you want it to be and what you plan to do with the car. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 60 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GREAT LOOKING TURN-KEY DRIVER then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award

Wed, Oct 12 2016

Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.
