 This beautiful all original Mercury was ordered by Mrs. Alva J. Turnbull and delivered to Francis Lincoln Mercury in Portland, Oregon on October 22, 1958. She traded in a 54 Hudson and paid for the remainder in cash. The car was ordered with many options such push button radio $100.00, power steering $107.50, padded dash $21.50, visual aid group $57.00, wheel covers $12.90, contrasting moulding area $10.80, merc-o-matic $225.80, heater-defroster $91.40, WSW rayon tires $41.00, courtesy light group $10.80, foam cushions $21.50, and the very rare aluminum projectile applique $10.80 which I haven't seen on any other Mercury on the internet. With title and license the grand total was $3,793.00 This car was owned and driven until the 80's when she sold it to the couple I purchased it from. The car comes with all the dealer paperwork, owners manual, warranty card, and battery card. The car runs and drives as new with 98% original twilight turquoise paint and interior. Chrome and stainless also as new. The interior is near mint and the trunk is very clean as well. This car is about 99% rust-free. It's had a recent tune-up and has been driven to Hot August Nights in Reno twice with zero issues and would be perfectly safe and reliable to drive anywhere. I truly believe this may be the best preserved original 58 hardtop especially considering it has all dealer paperwork and even has the original dealership license plate frame and Oregon plates! Please email with any questions on this fine motorcar.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
