On offer here is one of the most stunning 1957 Ford Thunderbirds which money can buy. This car is is powered by the venerable 312 Cubic Inch V8 which is shifted through the correct "Ford-o-Matic" automatic transmission. The car is finished in the stunning color combination of Flame Red over red interior and features the iconic white porthole hardtop. The car was restored to concours standards in the late 90s and has held up perfectly ever since. The car presents as new and comes with a binder full of restoration pictures along with the original window sticker and service paperwork for the car! The bottom of the car is every bit as nice as the top.  Of most concern though, is the fact that this car is restored to Classic Thunderbird Club International (CTCI) concours standards and received a Gold award from them. The car also comes with a letter from CTCI elevating the car to "Senior Division" status.  

Overall, what you have here is a car which is restored the highest of levels in one of the best colors.  This car starts on the first try every time and all systems on the car work perfectly, even the clock! The car is as reliable as can be and would make for a fantastic show car or a  fun car to drive on special occasions. This car is not one of those trailered show cars which does not run well. While still a show car, everything on the car works and the car functions just as a 1957 Thunderbird would have in 1957. No excuses with this one. The finishes on the car are immaculate and the restoration has held up extremely well since the car was done.  If you are looking for a great 1957 Ford Thunderbird to add to your collection, you have just found it.  

Please note: as I was taking pictures of the engine compartment it did start to sprinkle very lightly. The little specs you see in the pictures are not chrome pitting or paint imperfections but merely a few sprinkles of rain.  As said before in the listing, the finishes on the car are all in fantastic condition.

The car is located in Overland Park, KS which is a suburb of Kansas City, KS. The car can be viewed on appointment and we encourage anyone interested in the car to please come see it. You will certainly not be disappointed! Please call Frank Thompson at 913 269 6513 with any questions about this fine 1957 Thunderbird.

2015 will be the biggest year ever for cars at CES

Fri, Jan 2 2015

Like the SEMA Show, major automakers are paying increasing attention to the CES, with 2015 expected to be one of the most auto focused yet. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Mazda, Audi, BMW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will all be in attendance when CES 2015 kicks off next week, taking up a record-breaking 165,000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "We've come a long way from a single car on a carpet," Ford's Alan Hall told Bloomberg. Unlike SEMA, or a more traditional auto show, like the upcoming festivities in Detroit, CES doesn't necessarily focus on entire cars or the way they perform, but on the way our technology will interact with vehicles, and in how those vehicles will deliver information to drivers. "CES has become a major launch point for a lot of the big automakers," IHS tech analyst Mark Boyadjis told Bloomberg. "CES is a way for them to get on a global stage for technology." As for what kind of wares automakers will trot out in Las Vegas, we already know that BMW will show off an autonomous i3 electric car that can navigate its way through a multistory car park and can be hailed via a smartwatch app. According to Bloomberg, Hyundai will show off its own smartwatch app for the Genesis sedan, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz will show off autonomous vehicles next week. Automakers won't be the only companies looking to capitalize on CES. Tech firms, like chipmaker Nvidia, are becoming increasingly involved in the automotive game and will be in town showing their wares off to OEMs. "Two years ago, our booth would have been filled with PCs and people playing video games," Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director for automotive business, told Bloomberg. "This year we made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the booth on automotive and de-prioritize some of the other things." Needless to say, you can expect to see a lot of news out of Las Vegas come next week. Stay tuned.

MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.

2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.
