Offered for sale is this nice original 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau Edition with 89k Original Miles.  It is not a $1500.00 or $15,000 dollar car, If seeking perfection than it may be a good idea to check cars in the $12,000 and Up range. It's had  a lot of care and money invested in maintenance to it, over a car with shiny new paint possibly hiding rust and filler and not running or running right. We planned to keep it but also own a 1962 and choosing between the two, we would like to keep our Bullet Bird. The main reason for selling is we no longer have room for it in the garage and don't want to keep it outside. It is originally from California and included is the 1966 Black and Yellow California Plates and Dealer Frame from Marquis Motors of Mission Viejo. It also has the Owner's Manual. We have lost track of some of the receipts that came with the car, but I have most of the recent ones (see photos) that add up to quite some money spent on an Entire New Brake System, This Includes The Proportioning Valve, Wheel Bearing Repack, Seals, Tie Rod Ends, Rear Differential, Transmission Service Including Pan Gasket Seal, Alternator, Belts and Hoses, Thermostat and Coolant Temperature Sensor, Headlight Switch, All Tail Light Bulbs Replaced, Battery and Tires Are One Year Old with about 96 Percent Tread. I am not going to give you the Little Old Lady Who Drove It Only On Sundays Story because that would be B.S. Although it has low mileage and we are the 3rd Owners. The Previous Owner drove it less than 800 miles over the course of about the last 3 years of ownership. Clear and Clean Washington Title In My Name, Registered as a Collector Car No Tabs Ever Again in This State. 390 V-8 Starts every time and very easily with No Smoke and No Ponds Of Fluids Underneath. Glass and Seals are Good, The Gauges, Dash Lights Instruments, Original AM Radio Work, Manual Windows and Seats function as do Wipers, and Door Lock Button On Console. To make it really nice I would say a Paint Job (above the driver's side rear wheel skirt some clown scraped it when parked in Downtown Seattle and it was fixed, that is shown in a picture) fix the small tears to the driver's seat and some adhesive on the headliner, also the horn isn't working..noticed a couple fuses missing and I have one of those T Levers that's out of the console in the Glove Box, and the Swing-Away part of the steering is not doing that so the steering stays in the driving position, just some small things, but this ride is ready to go, Drive it Home it's runs and shifts the way it should, or I can work with you on your choice of Shipping Co. getting it to you, from my door to yours or I can get it to a Shipping Co. of your choice. We really don't have to sell it and again I am not entertaining $1500.00 offers and have posted it with a low and reasonable reserve.  To find something like this for less than $5000.00 you can probably find it on Craigslist sitting in a back yard for 10 years with the old "It Ran When It Was Parked" story. So If You are looking for a classy ride for not too much money that is a driver than here it is, and remember it comes with receipts from shops for a lot of work done, not a "Shade Tree Mechanic". Only posting it this one time, if it doesn't sell more than likely it gets what it needs and stored  properly.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival

Mon, 19 May 2014

There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
