Here is a very well done 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria. This is the rare, 4dr Hardtop similar to the recent feature automobile in Hemming's Motor News. Google 1956 Ford Failane Victoria, and you will see the picture of the yellow and white Victoria that was featured. That article will give you the history of the model. Our Meadow Mist Green and White example is maybe a little nicer. You can call me about this car at (217) 253-2299 or (217) 550-3428 This car was purchased by it's former owner, in Texas, in 2012. They decided to sell when the storage space fee's, (for their seven cars) started to get too pricy. I drove this car down I-57 from Matteson IL, to Tuscola IL, 133 miles. The car drove very well at 65-70 mph. Thumbs ups all the way. The rust free Texas body and chassis has been beautifully re-sprayed in it's original color. The chrome is excellent. The interior has new door panels and is very nice. The 312 V8 has been rebuilt. There is a brand new Holley 2 barrel carburetor installed, however the car does come with the rebuilt, original Holley Tea Pot 4 barrel. As you can see, the car is very nice from top to bottom, inside and out. We can arrange shipping Worldwide. Just call or send us your zip code or preferred port for a fast quote. Bid with confidence, as we have sold vehicles from coast to coast, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, Central America, The UK and all over Europe. Thank you! Cooper Motors, Ltd. Tuscola, IL

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford 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 C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California
Fri, 01 Mar 2013A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
