Reluctantly putting this car up for sale.

I recently bought it to use as my daily driver here in S. Florida ( which I am doing currently and enjoy driving it everyday ), however our accountant gave us the bad news and we owe way more in taxes than my wife or I anticpated , plus we have a car undergoing restoration that we have to finish paying off. We are trying to get the funds other ways as well, and if we do, we will pull this car off of Ebay and I will continue to drive it.

1959 Thunderbird - typical T/bird - auto, no a/c, ps/ pb, radio. Not an unusual or rare model, but still a nice car. Pretty decent Florida car with a clear title. Runs and drives very well for a 54 year old car. Recently tuned up, new gas tank/fuel pump. It is a 10 footer. Needs interior work ( door panels especially - seats are good, as is headliner ) and some trim bits here and there. Nothing that isn't readily available. There are a couple of rust bubbles coming up on the body ( shown in the photos - on the trunk lid and hood ), but the rest of the car seems fine. It was repainted at some point in the past ( don't know when ) and is a brighter white than the Wimbledon White is supposed to be . If you want a perfect car, then you will have to buy a high dollar restored show car. If you want a nice car to drive and improve or restore as you enjoy it - this is the car.

Solid floors and trunk - photos of trunk show just surface rust from weatherstrip water leaks but the floor is solid = as is the car floor. Seatbelts were also just installed in the car last week.

As this is a 54 year old used car, there are no warranties what so ever and it is being sold as/is, where is.

Located in S. Florida - email if you want more photos or photos of something not shown. Also email if you want to see and inspect or drive the car

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.

Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue

Mon, 12 Aug 2013

Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.
