1957 Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Lafayette, Louisiana, United States
|
1957 Thunderbird Convertible I have a collection of 1955-57 Baby Birds & parts. This 1957 Baby Bird is the rarest and most expensive of the group. It runs and stops. This Baby Bird can be driven as is or restoration project. This car is very solid and will need lower quarters replaced if restoring. Details of ownership follows: 1957 Ford Thunderbird time Capsule. This unique Thunderbird was ordered by Dick Cranston senior, a dealership in New Jersey for his son Dick Cranston Junior. The car has been parked in a wharehouse for 40 years but has an interesting history. At the time Dick Cranston Junior was 21 years old and received this car as a gift from his dad. Although it was a D code car with a three speed transmission that wasn't quite enough for the young 21 year old. At the time Ford was offering NASCAR packages that could be installed by the dealer. So Dick asked his dad if he would have the guys in the shop trick out his new 57 Thunderbird with some fast goodies. So the car received the dual Quad package that was offered on the E code cars of that time. As well as a brand new four speed pulled off the shelf in the parts room, a set of headers and some Mickey Thompson magnesium wheels. All of this information has been documented and Dick Cranston Junior is still around to verify any other information about the car. This car has been untouched since parked in that warehouse in 1967. It is an awesome example of how these cars were transformed by the dealerships and in many cases sold to the general public. It still sports the original dealership emblem, original interior and even the gigantic sun tachometer screwed right through the flawless dash pad. This car would be a great candidate for full restoration or left as it is to be a reminder of a bygone era. Serious Inquiries only contact Hugh 337 344 9731 |

There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.
Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
