For sale is my drop dead gorgeous, beautiful 61 thunderbird convertible. If this car isn't the nicest 61 around I'd be very surprised. Super rare nautilus gray with red interior, and gorgeous. If u don't like attention, oohs and ahhs, this isn't the car for u. Rebuilt 390, runs fantastic, no issues. Just spent 1 k changing every gasket possible. All gauges work, ac works and is ice cold. Top mechanism performs flawlessly. Slaves, cylinders etc all rebuilt. Paint is flawless. Absolutely gorgeous metallic gray. Interior the same. No rips, tears in seats,or dash. Took an am-fm from a 63 and installed it in this car. Works perfectly. Original am radio is included although it needs to be repaired. This car has won more awards than I can describe....best paint, best of show, best ford, etc..... She took second in the VTCI intl convention in 2010. Tires new, alternator installed for better charging, have the original generator if desired. Engine bay spotless. She spent the first 46 yrs of life in Texas until the owner got sick at which time it came to illinois in 2006. I have receipts for all work done dating back to the 90's. There's not much more I can describe about this car. It is not your ordinary bird, it is truly spectacular. It has been lovingly cared for and driven mostly to shows. In August 2013, she was included in the Geneva IL concours d'elegance, quite an honor. It kills me to let her go but I'm thinning out the herd these days. Just sold my jaguar yesterday. I would like it to go to an appreciative home. The car is so gorgeous that JIm Powers, who Was on the design team on the car, wanted to buy it and put it in his collection. I have a picture of him with the car. He's abt 90 yrs old! Feel free to contact me with questions or to discuss an offer. Look at the pics and decide for yourself. Thanks and good luck!

Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields
Fri, 27 Dec 2013According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.
Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers
Fri, 15 Nov 2013One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:
Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014
Mon, Dec 22 2014With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.
