Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States

2003 Thunderbird Premium in Whisper White with Whisper white interior accents. Hard top is black and has the stand Heated drivers and Passenger seats New Michelins Select shift transmission Interior color accessory Package This car was for sale at the local Ford dealer, and I would drive by everyday on the way to work, one evening I stopped in and made a deal on the car. This is the second one I have owned and they really are just fun to drive. The fun part for me is I can take a back country side road most all the way to the business, and what a great stress relief it is. I have three convertibles, the others are Buicks, I kind of like the big car ride a bit better. Hence this one can be sold. The car was completely serviced before I picked it up, so it runs and drives nice. I'll have the oil changed and the car serviced before it leaves The paint and body is in fantastic condition. The interior is the same, just a very nice condition car all the way around. I added a wind screen behind the seats, its clear and so its not really too visible, yet it does a great job at cutting the wind down in the passenger compartment. At 60-65 mph its really pretty quiet in the car with that up. I also bought a new rear cover to go over the top when its in the down position, and a nice little Thunderbird logo trunk mat. The two tone interior really gives the car a nice retro look to it, and helps with the summer sun, as the seats don't cook you on a sunny day If you are local, I encourage you to come look and drive the car Thanks for looking and if you have any questions, please feel free to call 319-361-6465 Mark On Jul-10-14 at 15:19:06 PDT, seller added the following information: If you were to spend the money to run the AutoCheck Report system, you will find the car was sold new in New Mexico, later the owners moved to FL, and traded the car in. The car was sold to the Ford dealer where I live, I am the second owner of the car. The report shows absolutely no issues of any kind with the car. I have been asked if everything works, very simply, yes, all mechanical features work as new, 6 disc CD, top, windows, everything is correct Mark |

Ford Escort returns, just not for US
Sat, 19 Apr 2014Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.
