DESCRIPTION

This 1959 Thunderbird is a rust free car that the original buyer in California owned for 40 years.  Owner 2 was his daughter, in California, who owned it for 7 years.  At that time the car had 92,000 miles.  From there the car went to Washington State, West Virginia, and Kentucky.  I have approximately $15,500 invested in this car. Selling due to health at a reduced price.

 

Rebuilt 352/300h.p. V8.  Transmission professionally rebuilt in Aug. 2011 with 97,401 miles. New tires, gas tank and sending unit replaced in 2010.  Car also had some new interior, but I am not sure what was replaced, maybe the carpet. Car was repainted a new color called Brandy wine and Colonial White. This color was only available on the Thunderbird. Also all new door moldings were replaced at that time. Also new leaf springs installed. New upper and lower ball joints, tie rod, rebuilt master cyl. New frt. And rear wheel cyl. Recent new brake shoes. Life time frt. End alignment by firestone. All fluids replaced. The list goes on. I replaced the quarter window seals that were brittle from age, and also the dome light lens. I can not think of any thing it needs mechanically. Engine is tight, runs smooth, no smoke at all.  I have all paper work back to 1959, including all license plates, owners manual, original build sheet, window sticker, original bill of sale, and repair documents which probably exceed the price of the car.  Car is original, rust free and still has original undercoating.  bumpers are very presentable, side spears are excellent. Has Original glass. Car has P.S./ P.B. and power seat.  Original AM radio and clock still work.  This vehicle is being sold as is without warranty, The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, Authenticity, or defects here in.

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012



Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.

Ford S-Max Concept previews new look, technology for Euro seven-seater

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Ford unveiled today the S-Max Concept, which comes with a new, sleek look and loaded with innovative technology, such as a heart-rate monitoring seat. But if you're heart is set on a minivan sports activity vehicle (SAV) and you live in the States, don't wait for this one - it's a Europe-only product, and we don't expect that to change when the next-gen S-Max is released.
The styling follows Ford's global design language, looking a bit like an overgrown Focus hatchback with the company's signature grille, wraparound headlamps, steeply raked windshield and curved roof line. Ford also implemented details to make the S-Max look longer and faster, such as a feature line on each side of the vehicle and muscular-looking fenders. The engine isn't Ford's most powerful, but the new 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine should be potent enough with turbocharging and other efficiency related technologies.
Ford says the new interior, which seats up to seven people, features high-quality materials and fine detailing, such as an "ultra-soft" leather wrap for the instrument panel and leather and carbon-fiber details on the seats. Ford's Sync connectivity system with MyFord Touch makes the car a wireless hotspot, and there's a tablet docking station for second-row occupants.
