For sale is my drop dead gorgeous, beautiful 61 thunderbird convertible. If this car isn't the nicest 61 around I'd be very surprised. Super rare nautilus gray with red interior, and gorgeous. If u don't like attention, oohs and ahhs, this isn't the car for u. Rebuilt 390, runs fantastic, no issues. Just spent 1 k changing every gasket possible. All gauges work, ac works and is ice cold. Top mechanism performs flawlessly. Slaves, cylinders etc all rebuilt. Paint is flawless. Absolutely gorgeous metallic gray. Interior the same. No rips, tears in seats,or dash. Took an am-fm from a 63 and installed it in this car. Works perfectly. Original am radio is included although it needs to be repaired. This car has won more awards than I can describe....best paint, best of show, best ford, etc..... She took second in the VTCI intl convention in 2010. Tires new, alternator installed for better charging, have the original generator if desired. Engine bay spotless. She spent the first 46 yrs of life in Texas until the owner got sick at which time it came to illinois in 2006. I have receipts for all work done dating back to the 90's. There's not much more I can describe about this car. It is not your ordinary bird, it is truly spectacular. It has been lovingly cared for and driven mostly to shows. In August 2013, she was included in the Geneva IL concours d'elegance, quite an honor. It kills me to let her go but I'm thinning out the herd these days. Just sold my jaguar yesterday. I would like it to go to an appreciative home. The car is so gorgeous that JIm Powers, who Was on the design team on the car, wanted to buy it and put it in his collection. I have a picture of him with the car. He's abt 90 yrs old! Feel free to contact me with questions or to discuss an offer. Look at the pics and decide for yourself. Thanks and good luck!

Trump to meet with CEOs from Ford, GM, and FCA
Tue, Jan 24 2017In the wake of his inauguration, President Donald Trump is set to meet with the CEOs of Ford, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Tuesday morning to discuss jobs, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and potential tax cuts. Trump has been highly critical of American automakers for shipping jobs to Mexico and has threatened to impose heavy import fees on foreign-made vehicles. Trump has threatened to dissolve NAFTA in order to encourage automakers to manufacture cars in the US. Automotive News and Crain's Detroit Business are reporting that the group is set to discuss how to bring more auto industry jobs back to the US. Under NAFTA, many automakers, both foreign and domestic, have moved vehicle production out of the States to Mexico in order to cut costs. White House spokesperson Sean Spicer said Trump is looking forward to the meeting and discussing how to bring jobs back to America. Dismantling NAFTA would be a major blow to automakers. Trump blasted Ford during his campaign for manufacturing in Mexico, but FCA and GM also have factories south of the border. Earlier this month, Ford nixed plans for a $1.6 billion plant in Mexico, instead investing $700 million into an existing facility. At this year's Detroit Auto Show, the unspoken theme was America and American manufacturing. Expect the automakers to fight to keep NAFTA alive.

Ford Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles
Fri, May 9 2014Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems. The recalls cover vehicles from the 2013 and 2014 model years. Most of the Escapes have both problems. The first case covers 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles. A software glitch can stop the side curtain air bags from inflating in certain types of rollover crashes. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control computer for free. About 65,000 of the recalled vehicles are C-Max models, and the rest are Escapes. Roughly 591,000 are in the U.S., with 3,500 more in U.S. territories. About 78,000 are in Canada and another 19,500 are in Mexico, Fordspokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an e-mail. There could be more vehicles affected in other markets, the company said. The affected Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011 through Feb. 14, 2014. The C-Max vehicles were built from Jan. 19, 2012, through Feb. 24, 2014. The second case covers about 692,700 Escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the SUVs are in motion. Dealers will inspect the handles and reposition them if needed. No crashes or injuries have been reported. About 583,000 are in the U.S. or its territories, with another 89,500 in Canada and 20,000 in Mexico. Ford said in this case, the problem may affect vehicles in other markets. All the North American Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011, through April 10, 2014. Recalls Ford escape
2017 Ford Fusion facelift comes into focus
Sun, Apr 12 2015The latest generation Ford Fusion has been one of the better-looking members of the mainstream midsize sedan ranks since its introduction for the 2013 model year. In the automotive world, though, even the most attractive designs don't stay fresh for long. These new spy shots shed some light on what to expect when the model is refreshed, possibly for 2017. With only a modicum of camouflage here, it's not exactly hard to see where the Fusion is getting design tweaks. Up front, the wide grille remains, but the lower air dam appears to have restyled recesses for the fog lights. Also, while it's difficult to get an exact look, the headlights seem a little rounder through the concealment. Moving to the rear, the lower bumper shows some tweaks, but those circular pipes are obviously just there for testing. With a light on, you can a good glimpse of the redesigned taillights too. Based on these photos, Ford's stylists know a good thing when they have it, and it doesn't look like the Fusion's general look will have any monumental changes. Still, it's worth a minute to click through the gallery for a preview of the refreshed design. Related Video:
