1960 Mercury Comet 4 door 6 cylinder wagon with 42,665 miles. [But I am having fun driving it every day with the 3 speed on the column, so the the mileage will be slightly higher once purchased] . 95% original car. This is an extremely reliable car that comfortably shares the freeways and backroads with the traffic of today. No expense was spared in making it a reliable, operable car. It starts immediately, runs smoothly and I would have no worry about taking it on a long days drive anywhere. New parts with receipts include these: battery, 4 shocks front coil springs and seats, front end bushings, wheels cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, fuel pump, hood bumpers and insulation, recored radiator, new fuel and brake lines, new gas tank and sending unit, rebuilt carb. Firestone tires are like new. Good exhaust. Original wiper fluid bag. Take a look at the original interior—it shows only minimal use. The driver’s seat is not sunken in from years of use. Beautiful steering wheel and horn ring. Everything works except the radio and heater, and the horn sometimes. The old enamel aqua paint job is a real head turner—usually they ask “where is the surf board?” There are areas on the exterior of flaking, scratches, bubbling, etc as you would expect. The stainless side molding is really nice, and most of these pieces have no dings at all. The original cargo mat is there in great shape. Under it and the carpet you can see surface browning, but no weak spots or holes or rot. The front floor area where your foot goes was replaced previously with heavy welded steel, and two small rust spots on the back floor were repaired, but it is otherwise very solid and roadworthy in all respects. I have the original owner’s manual and the Ford/Mercury Dealer Shop Manual that will be included. Original keys. All windows roll up and down smoothly, including the rear window. The headliner is great, but there is a large hole in it in the back corner about the size of a softball. It could be covered over or, better yet, simply have a new headliner put it. They are readily available for under $150 on eBay and elsewhere. Car can be seen anytime at Charleston, West Virginia. Feel free to call Bill with any questions. Leave message if no answer. 304-389-3900. Thanks for looking.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion

Wed, Jun 17 2015

While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
