CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a really nice 1955 Ford Thunderbird equipped with the original driveline. It has a 292 V8 engine & Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. it is nicely optioned with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, and all power options work just fine. It has had the same owner for 17 years. It is not a 100 point show car but presents very well and is in turn key drive home and enjoy immediately today condition. It was purchased from a neighbor who had it willed to him by his mother who resided in Honolulu, Hawaii, where the car spent much of it's life. The Hawaii inspection sticker is still on the rear bumper and the title shows Hawaii as the state of origin. The odometer shows 31,000 miles on it but I don't have any documentation to prove the mileage is original. The title is listed mileage exempt as many older cars are. The data plate reveals that the car was built in Dearborn, Michigan, (Code F) and originally a black car (Code A) with a black and white interior (Code XA). It apparently received a color change inside and out early on due to the fact that the paint, although still shiny, shows a few areas of age. The car runs, drives & stops fine. Since it spent more time in the garage than on the road for the last 17 years, some items have been replaced and refurbished. The cooling system received a new thermostat, gasket, hoses, water pump, and the radiator was cleaned and pressure tested before re-installation. The gas tank is a brand new stainless steel unit that has just been replaced. The carburetor is a bit dry from sitting and could perform better, so a rebuilt unit is on order and will be on the car before it leaves for it's new home. Transmission has been serviced with a new filter and gasket and fresh fluid as well. This Thunderbird is equipped with the original 1955 Hardtop (No Porthole), but has no softop. This car was personalized with the addition of N.O.S. 50's vintage 4" dummy spots and lake pipes. Again these items are 50's N.O.S. and not plated with the sub standard China Chrome. 1955 Mercury Station Wagon tail lights were installed for a mild custom look, along with 50's vintage spinner hubcaps. Stock tail lights and hubcaps were retained and will go with the car, so it can be returned to stock appearance in a few hours. As you can see in the photos, every area of the car is eye-pleasing. Outside, inside, and underside are all in very nice condition, although not 100 point show quality. The wide-white tires have great tread, and the exhaust is in fine condition. The engine has the optional dress up kit with original finned valve covers. The investment value and desirability of this car speak for themselves. This car is a real head turner that receives thumbs up and horn beeps everywhere it goes and would compliment any garage and would be a hit at the local show or cruise. The car is priced for what it is, with the realization that it is not a rotisserie restoration. Please take the time to look at all the photos.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines
Fri, 25 Oct 2013The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
