1957 Ford Thunderbird

VIN No. C7FH317160

A Fastidiously Documented 3 Owner Example From New
Desirable Manual Transmission - 410 cfm Carbureted V8
Highly Optioned - Including Engine Dress Kit from New
Retained by the Selling Dealer for Promotional Use Between 1957-1970
Correct Rubber Stampings and Tags throughout
Beautifully Preserved with Excellent Performance
Amazing Documentation File Recording Almost 50 Years of Continuous History
Offered with the Original Window Sticker
One Single Owner for Over 30 years
Original Color - Coral Sand

The new Thunderbirds marked the first challenge to Corvettes and the success of the new sports car proved Ford to be quite a formidable competitor. Offered here is an incredibly honest and correct example, displaying a nicely mellowed restoration by marquee expert and comes fully documented from new with records, ownership history and original window sticker.

Acquired from the long-term owner of 30 years, this very drivable T-bird began life as a promotional vehicle for the Keller Brothers Motor Company in Buffalo Spring, Pennsylvania. Subsequently, the car was passed to only two following and very discerning caretakers, all while accumulating every record since new! An original soft top only car, this Thunderbird also comes equipped with the desirable manual transmission, correct 292ci engine with a 410 cfm T-Bird Holley carburetor, factory dress kit, power steering, radio and heater among others. Proper rubber stampings are displayed in their proper locations with all equipment and auxiliaries are correctly presented.

The documentation that accompanies this car is exciting as it is impressive. A file folder containing almost three decades of ownership, history, and service records accompanies the sale. Included are the original window sticker, letters, restoration receipts, post cards, and much more. T-Birds are readily available in all sorts of condition and price ranges but to find such an example that is rich in history and optioned with a rare manual transmission will be difficult to find. This car received an exacting restoration about 20 years ago and today it still remains in striking condition although no longer a show car. If you are in the market for fantastic 57 T-Bird we strongly recommend serious attention to this example, truly a chance in a lifetime opportunity since we have never had a better American car on offer in our 10 years of business!

We are happy to arrange and strongly recommend inspections - Please contact us with any questions.

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.

Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford

Thu, 22 May 2014

It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.

Ford spotted testing new Focus RS at the Nurburgring

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford is expected to be launching a revised version of the Focus ST soon, but the latest snapshots from our spy photographers at the Nürburgring suggest that the Blue Oval is already working on an even more potent example: the new Focus RS.
Though the partially disguised test mule is wearing an ST badge (along with a Dewey sticker that makes us wonder what adventures Huey and Louie are up to and what manner of duck-tail rear spoiler they may be wearing), there are several tell-tale signs that something else is afoot here. There's a larger front air dam, bigger brake calipers, dual exhaust tips (instead of the central exhaust on the ST) and a reshaped wing protruding from the trailing edge of the roof.
That may all be well and fine, but what's under the hood? We don't know yet for sure, but word has it that Ford is preparing to port over the 2.3-liter turbo four offered in the new Mustang, where it packs 305 horsepower and almost as much torque - potentially retuned to produce even more for the top-of-the-line Focus, which could channel it all to the front wheels like the last model or pack an all-wheel drive system. The Global C platform on which the Focus is based does, after all, also underpin AWD models like the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC.
