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!

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford nets $924M in first quarter

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Where General Motors' first-quarter 2015 financials showed growth in many major metrics, Ford's newly released numbers had falling figures in most of the vital categories. The automaker's Q1 revenue shrank to $33.9 billion, down $2 billion, and net income fell to $924 million, a $65-million drop. However, pre-tax profits increased slightly to $1.4 billion, $24 million more than in the same period in 2014, and operating margin rose to 3.6 percent, up 0.2 percent. Despite the less-than-stellar numbers, the Blue Oval thinks 2015 should be positive for the company. "The first quarter was a good start to a year in which our results will grow progressively stronger as the new products we have been launching start to pay off," CEO Mark Fields said in the financial announcement. The automaker has 15 vehicles to launch globally this year, and only three of them are already out. By the end of 2015, Ford predicts pre-tax profits of between $8.5 billion and $9.5 billion. In terms of vehicle sales, Ford slipped by 21,000 to a total of 1.568 million worldwide in the first quarter. North American sales dropped to 678,000, which was 39,000 less than last year, and pre-tax profits fell to $1.34 billion, a $160-million fall. The company explained the reductions on this continent as linked to the launches of the latest F-150 and Edge. In other major markets, European wholesales grew to 376,000 vehicles, a 9,000-car boost from last year. Pre-tax results there increased by $9 million, but the area still showed an overall loss of $185 million. In the Asia Pacific region, Ford moved 16,000 more units than in Q1 2014 to reach 366,000. However, due in part to preparing for new vehicles, the company only made $103 million there, a $188-million drop. The automaker released all of these figures as part of a PDF, which you can download here. Related Video:

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.
