VEHICLE FEATURES & OPTIONS

SELLER REMARKS

Despite their similar look, the first three years of Thunderbird were each quite different. Personally, my favorites are the 1956 models like this Raven Black example, mostly because of the trim styling and continental kit out back. This one has been restored as needed during the course of its life, and a lot of recent work makes it a great choice for driving tours this fall.


One of the world's most beloved cars, there's just no way to make a 1956 Thunderbird look bad. But when you get it right, they can be downright amazing, and the high-quality finish on this 2-seater is a testament to a life well lived. Repainted in 2013-14, it's quite fresh looking and the Raven Black finish is this car's original color so it looks absolutely right. Gaps are decent all around, particularly the hard-to-fit doors, and fender skirts make it look long and sleek (they were optional but almost everyone bought them). Nice chrome, much of which has been restored, accentuates this '50s icon and the exhaust still exits through the rear corners of the bumper, a 1956-only feature. The continental kit was standard equipment, mostly to remedy complaints of no trunk space in 1955, and it adds a jaunty look to the sleek 'Bird that many find very appealing.


Two-tone red and white vinyl upholstery looks great inside the black 'Bird and while it was replaced a few years ago, quality material and workmanship insures that it still looks great today. The materials and patterns are correct, and it's hard to resist gaping at the many ornate details inside. An engine-turned panel runs across both doors and the dash, the steering wheel almost looks like an aircraft yoke, and the big speedometer is lit from behind by a Plexiglas "window" through the windshield. The gauges are probably original and they're joined by white-faced dials under the dash to keep an eye on temperature and oil pressure. A period-style under-dash A/C unit is powered by modern hardware under the hood, so it's both effective and reliable, and there's a modern AM/FM radio in the dash which does a pretty good job of concealing itself. A recent black convertible top is joined by a correct porthole hardtop, and the trunk is outfitted with black carpets and a correct jack assembly (the spare, of course, is hanging out back).


The 312 cubic inch V8 appears to be this car's original engine and it's nicely detailed with a dealer dress-up kit, correct markings, and reproduction hoses. However, in the interested of drivability, the original "teapot" carburetor was dumped in favor of a modern Demon 4-barrel and compact air cleaner, and obviously the A/C compressor is a Sanden unit. Ford Red paint on the block looks great in the otherwise all-black engine bay and the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission clicks through the gears without a fuss. It appears that the underside of the car is original and was probably undercoated when it was new, and aside from the usual maintenance parts, it looks well-preserved and authentic. The dual exhaust has a nice V8 burble and sparkling wire wheels are a fantastic upgrade over the stock hubcaps.


2-seater Thunderbirds will never go out of style and when you pick one on great colors with nice options, it becomes a car that will hold its value better than most. Call today!

2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.

Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.
