1957 T Bird Port Hole Convert. 58k Original Miles Unrestored Movie Sha Na Na Car on 2040-cars
Leetsdale, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1957 Ford Thunderbird in good running condition w/ interesting history! Remember that scene in American Graffiti where Ron Howard is cruising town with his girlfriend in the front seat and Richard Dreyfuss is riding third wheel in the backseat? Then out of the blue, Suzanne Somers pulls up next to them in that absolutely dreamy white 1956 T-Bird with the porthole top. Well, if you ever wanted to relive that very American Graffiti moment we've got your car! The Thunderbird was an icon long before the movie came out and it has gone through quite a few changes over the years. But the 1957 model was the last of this style and considered by many to be the most desirable. This was one of the picture cars used for the movie and was owned by the manager of the music group "Sha Na Na" (who appeared in the movie "Grease" and whose song "Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite" appeared in "American Graffitti") during the time of their hit TV series. It was also featured in several TV commercials. It is in very good original condition and runs great. The car has not had any restoration, so there is a small amount of rust around the door areas. You can see some bulbs on the passenger side picture. This is not unusual for a 56 year old car. All serial numbers match.
Thanks for looking! |

Ford books $2.6B pretax quarterly profit
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its crosstown competitors at General Motors are smarting over a drastic drop in net income to $200 million in the second quarter, Ford has reason to celebrate. The Blue Oval has announced its own Q2 financial results, including a growing net income of $1.3 billion, a $78 million increase over last year. Pretax profits for the company reached $2.6 billion, up $44 million from 2013, but total revenue dropped slightly to $37.4 billion, down from $37.9 billion. Profits per share before one-time charges totaled 40 cents per share, beating Wall Street analysts' expectations of 36 cents a share.
Regionally, the Blue Oval performed strongly, as well. North America posted a record quarterly pre-tax profit of $2.4 billion, a $119 million increase. Europe also showed signs of turn around with its first profit in three years of $14 million after a loss of $306 million in Q2 2013. Ford is actually predicting profitability in the troubled region in 2015. Asia Pacific operations also performed well with $159 million in profits, up $29 million from last year. The only region where the business posted a loss was South America.
According to Automotive News, Ford also announced more precise plans about the changeover to build the aluminum-intensive 2015 F-150. In August, the Dearborn plant will shutdown for eight weeks to retool and its Kansas City plant will do the same next year.
Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales
Wed, 10 Jul 2013Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
