THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR 16 PLUS YEARS. THIS WAS MY FATHER-N-LAWS TRUCK. SO, NOW SOME INFORMATION ON THE TRUCK. IT IS A 1952 MERCURY M1. THESE TRUCKS WERE BUILT IN CANADA. SOME HAVE MADE THERE WAY SOUTH. SO THEY ARE PRETTY RARE. WHEN MY FATHER-N-LAW PURCHASED THE TRUCK, THE GENTLEMAN TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD DROVE IT DOWN FROM CANADA WITH THE STRAIGHT AXLE STILL UNDER THE FRONT. THE TRUCK DROVE HORRIBLE, I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DID IT! SO NOW IT HAS BEEN CLIPPED WITH A 80'S MALIBU FRONT CLIP WITH DISC BRAKES. THIS WAS PROFESSIONALY DONE BY MIKE CHESSIER IN LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. STAINLESS BUMPERS FRONT AND REAR, NEW WIRING HARNESS ON INSIDE, A NEW A\C SETUP WAS INSTALLED AND THE 10 BOLT REAR END WAS REBUILT WITH NEW BEARINGS, 3:55 GEARS AND AN EATON LIMITED SLIP UNIT. THE WOOD IN THE BED WAS REDONE AS WELL AS THE STAINLESS STRIPS. THE INTERIOR IS FROM A FORD RANGER. THE SEAT HAS HAD A CUSTOM FRAME TO MAKE IT FIT AND SECURE. THE MOTOR IS FROM A MARINE DEALER, IT WAS STILL IN THE CRATE WHEN HE GOT IT. SO IT IS A GM 454 (MERCRUISER) WITH FACTORY FUEL INJECTION. THE TRANSMISSION IS A TURBO 350. AS FAR AS THE PAINT GOES, YOU WILL SEE SOME BLIMISHES IN THE PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN.

THANKS AGAIN FOR LOOKING!

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It'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.

Ford names Lincoln chief as North American president following Nair's departure

Thu, Feb 22 2018

Ford announced yesterday that its North American president Raj Nair would no longer be working for the company due to "inappropriate behavior." As a result, the company needed fill that gaping vacancy. The new North American president and Ford Group vice president will be Kumar Galhotra, and his term in the new role will start on March 1. Galhotra will remain the group vice president and chief marketing officer for Lincoln through March, meaning he's the head of the luxury brand. He's had this position since 2014. Before that, he was vice president of engineering for all of Ford. With Galhotra's promotion, a number of internal promotions follow. Joy Falotico, current chairman, CEO and group vice president of Ford's credit division will fill Galhotra's position, and Dave McClelland, vice president of marketing for Ford Asia Pacific, will fill her role. Other shuffling at Ford includes Stewart Rawley's promotion to vice president for Ford North America and chief operating officer. He is the current vice president for strategy at Ford. Ford China's chairman and CEO John Lawler will take Rawley's old role, and Cathy O'Callaghan will take over Lawler's job at Ford China, but not until June 1. O'Callaghan is currently vice president, corporate controller and chief financial officer for global markets at Ford. Related Video:

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.
