This is a 1957 Ford Ranchero, first year of production, in running condition, but needing work. It has the original 292 engine and 2 speed transmission, 2 barrel carb. The engine is missing in 3 cylinders, most likely a valve job. I have owned the car about 12 years, and unfortunately only drive it 4 or 5 times a year. It has always been licensed and insured. Having other cars also, I have not given this Ranchero the attention it deserves. Definitely could use a full restoration. The bench seat and carpet have been redone, but the dash pad, and headliner needs replacing, door panels look good,and the gauges don't work, odometer, not sure of the mileage, just put in a figure because I had to. The lights, turn signals, brake lights all work. Under the hood, new radiator, water pump, fuel pump, battery, and rebuilt carb. everything else is stock. The body, looks decent, no dents, used a magnet around wheel wells, couldn't find bondo. You can see surface rust along edges, small bubbles around wheel wells, but are firm. The only significant rust it had, was behind the passenger seat. A pan was placed there when the carpet was redone. It has all the chrome, trim pieces, and original hubcaps. Any other questions, feel free to email, I could send more pictures. I have tried the be as honest as I could and not sugar coat anything, hope the pictures give you a good idea. Thanks

Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]
Wed, 09 Oct 2013As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.

Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The 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.
