1956 Mercury Medalist on 2040-cars
Mena, Arkansas, United States
Mileage: 100,000
Model: Monterey
Here for auction is a 1956 Mercury Montclair 2 door HT. This car started life in western Montana until it ended up in a scrap yard to be rescued and brought down to Grand Junction Colorado to be used as a parts car. Was then rescued again and the process of putting it back together began. It looks as though someone has replaced most of the lower sheet metal like rockers, lower front fenders, lower rear quarters and some floor patches were made but not installed all the way(they aren't welded in). The front and rear seats have had some new seat covers. When I purchased the car it was in the barn for quite some time. I then took the time to track down all previous owners to obtain original title that was long lost. Once that was successful I proceeded to make road worthy. All lights, brakes, fuel system, exhaust, and wiring have been gone through and is in working order. There is some trim missing (from being a parts car) but is all available with a little hunting(half the fun anyway). This would make a great Father/Son project, or a great start to a full restoration. Or someone could just drive it just the way it is. This is a running driving everything works car. I had planned on installing a 1996-1998 Cobra mustang engine swap that comes with car if the Buy It Now Option. Came from good running Lincoln Mark 8, and comes with trans, ECU, radiator, and all wiring needed. Please feel free to call with any questions or offers. Thanks Rich (772)485-3053.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
