1956 Ford Crown Victoria in Fiesta red & Colonial White. This car is equipped with a 312 V-8, with a 4 barrel carburetor and is 3 speed manual. It has a nice factory correct reproduction ABC interior, with optional NOS factory wire hubcaps, front & rear crash guards, fender skirts and a rear deck antenna. The car has a solid body with an older restoration done in lacquer. The Colonial White paint has developed some hairline cracks at stress points, such as the mirrors, door handles and rear deck antenna. The car does not have cracks in the white paint all over, only at the stress points, as shown. The car still won a 3rd place trophy recently in a show. However, I'd consider it a nice cruise night car, rather than a show car. To be a true show car, the car should be repainted; it all depends what you want for the car. Some people want a cruise night car and others want a show car. That being said, she draws a lot of attention where ever we take her and is still very sharp looking. Her chrome is good and was replaced, not rusty, not dented. The car is not dented and scraped up. The car is in excellent shape mechanically, with the motor having been completely rebuilt and no expense has been spared to keep her properly maintained to drive any where. The speedometer reads 74 thousand and some odd miles, which we believe to be original, but can't guarantee it. We had wanted to restore her to her original trophy winning days, where she was always a contender, but due to some unforseen health issues, we are going to part with our baby. There will be a lot of tears when she goes, as we have a lot of memories with this car, since we've owned it since 1985. We just hope she gets a good home, where she can be enjoyed and create a lot of great memories for years to come, for her new owner, like she did for us. There is a lot of additional parts, including new chrome to put on the car if it would be redone. The chrome she has now is nice, but this stuff is more show quality. We also have some used parts put back in case she would have ever been wrecked while we had her. Thankfully, we never had to use those parts. The price we want for the car, is just for the car and any parts not on the car, would be at an additional cost. If you buy the car, I'll give you a better deal on the parts, than if I sell them separately. No parts, will be sold unless the car is sold first. The car just had the carburetor totally redone and she runs like a top; I wouldn't be afraid to take her any where. That being said, this car is being sold as is and there is no warranty implied. Also, this car is being advertised locally, so an immediate local sale could result in the listing being ended prematurely. If you have any questions, or would like additional pictures, just give me a call. Call Ray at 717-407-5115 or email joypom55@yahoo.com On Aug-24-14 at 10:48:44 PDT, seller added the following information: For those of you, who are seriously interested in this car, please note that the pictures of the hairline cracks at stress points, look worse in pics, than they do on the car. Those pics. were taken practically on top of the cracks to make them show up in the pics. Also, a couple people asked me, if the car has overdrive and the answer is no. As far as the restoration, there was no frame work needed, including no cross member work needed. The work that was done to this car, was done by a professional body man, who did the car up for himself. He did work behind the rear wheel wells and the rockers and that was about it. This was a solid car to begin with and we used to show the car regularly and win trophies with it. That being said, no older restoration can compete with somebody's brand new restoration for trophies. We prefer to go to cruises any more than enter car shows, but it's all in what you want to do with the car. Currently, we use her as a fun, attention getting cruise night car. |

Ford starts GoDrive carsharing service in London
Thu, May 28 2015Automaker-supported carsharing services like BMW's DriveNow and Daimler's Car2Go are already well established in many cities around the world. Ford is no stranger to this business, either, with collaborations with companies like ZipCar in the US and Flinkster in Germany. Now, The Blue Oval is taking a new step by establishing its own dedicated offering in London called GoDrive. The operation is actually the expansion of an earlier 100-person pilot program and allows the automaker to test out ideas on a small scale. GoDrive is now growing to support 2,000 people in London, and they can share 50 vehicles that are scattered around 20 locations in the city. The fleet is split between Focus Electric models and Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoosts. One of the major selling points for the service is that users can take one-way trips through the city and have a guaranteed parking spot at their destination. Like any high-tech service today, much of the user interface for GoDrive works through a smartphone app that allows users to book cars and pay for trips. The driving is covered under an all-inclusive, pay-by-the-minute model, which includes London's congestion charge, and the first five minutes are free. To entice new users, the company is currently offering a free membership and 20 pounds ($31) in credit to sign up. GoDrive's small size also lets it gather and adjust to customer feedback quickly. For example, users reportedly enjoy getting to try out a vehicle with the latest infotainment and safety features. The company is already working on different pricing plans and parking options for the future, as well. The video below shows a little more the service in action.

Pay-as-you-go approach with pay-per-minute pricing covers all fees.

Ford confirms launch of new Tourneo vans and Ecosport in Europe for Geneva
Sun, 24 Feb 2013We've already seen plenty of what the Geneva Motor Show will have in store for us in less than two weeks, but most of the confirmed debuts that were announced so far have generally been luxury or performance cars. Ford, on the other hand, will be showing off a couple of its new family-friendly models for European buyers to enjoy.
On the larger side of things, the full range of Tourneo vans (shown above) will be on display, including the introduction of the new Tourneo Courier model, but Ford will also be showing off the all-new EcoSport crossover, which is based on the automaker's Global B platform and will be positioned beneath the Kuga, better known here as the Escape. The subcompact EcoSport was originally unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last April.
Ford recalls 200,000 vehicles for brake lights that won't turn off
Wed, Jan 19 2022Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a new recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles because their brake lights may not turn off. Drivers of affected vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions may also be able to shift the vehicles out of Park even when their foot is off the brake. That increases the risk of a rollaway and could cause a crash. According to documentation posted on NHTSA's recall hub, a separated brake pedal bumper is to blame for the issue. The recall applies to "certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii." The safety regulator adds that "exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to disintegrate and separate from the brake pedal." Owners of affected vehicles should expect notification of the recall in early March. They will be directed to the dealership of their choice to have their brake pedal bumpers and clutch pedal bumpers replaced free of charge. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
