1956 Ford Thunderbird, 312V8, Auto trans, power steering/brakes/windows, TC radio, tinted glass, working power seat, padded dash, original seat belts. Late production in unbelievably nice original unrestored condition with original paint and upholstery. The "top " was repainted for stress crack repair.

No rust, excellent body. I am the third owner, sold new in Southern California, always garaged and pampered. Runs and drives nice. Porthole top only. Old Mark 4 a/c unit. Original owners manual, some records and books came with it. It has won survivor class events. The car shows some patina and some minor issues. The bottom of the seat on the driver's side has some seam separations, but is useable and presentable. I had to replace the carpet. The inside chrome is very nice and clean. The top headliner is clean and latches are nice and correct. The T&C radio is clean but stopped working. The tack face is nice, but the cable came in a ziplock bag (?) The clock is clean but not operating. The interior light works as does the lighting system, outside too. The tail light lenses were replaced. The engine all looks correct. I don't know if any of the drivetrain is rebuilt, but it runs and shifts right, no leaks and doesn't run hot. There is no signs of a collision. Bumpers have good original chrome. The original skirts are on it. The original jack is there, trunk floor is solid, rubber mat is very good, the exhaust is in good shape, comes out below the bumpers so no soot marks. This car gets the looks because it is original. The Ford crest is still visable on the original seat. The car has the 1956 vinyl smell, not smoked in.

The car had a frame mounted trailer hitch on it when I got it. The stance was all wrong, too high in the back (grossly high), so I removed it, and now it sits right, but two small tabs are left on the frame and can easily be removed. I am physically unable to do it (stroke). Former owner had a Chris-craft he pulled. The front bumper has no dents or twists and the bumper bullets are nice. The upper lip moulding has a small ding. Correct headlight rings, pans, grill are all good. It doesn't appear to have been hit. The plastic emblems are all original, body-hubcaps (some fading). The rear tire folds back correctly. No rust under trunk lid lip or hood. This is truly a rare survivor! For it's age, it's the best one I've had. The tires are bias ply with very good tread, correct rims and caps. The original keys and locks work. The driver's window has one crack, no bubbles or separation in windshield or back, sides. The top seals look good but the door rubber is dry but useable.

Payment should be cashier check, money order, bank to bank wire transfer, or personal check. Funds will be received before release of vehicle. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements.

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.

Trucks with the best gas mileage for 2024

Thu, May 9 2024

There's no denying that pickup trucks are an integral part of our culture. They've been instrumental in building our infrastructure and giving the public access to remote locations and myriad recreation activities. Trucks aren't known for being particularly fuel efficient though, with boxy silhouettes and considerable weight negatively affecting their gas mileage ratings. The times are changing and not only are trucks getting more economical, but there are also several new smaller alternatives. An efficient tuck doesn't have to by tiny, though. Some of the trucks with the best gas mileage look classically bulky. What is the most fuel-efficient truck? So what's the most fuel-efficient pickup truck on sale in the U.S? It depends on which class of trucks you're looking at. For this list, we're focusing only on internal-combustion trucks. The small crop of all-electric trucks are certainly worth considering, but it's not so easy comparing EVs to ICE trucks here. In most cases, these trucks are the two-wheel-drive versions since they return the best mileage, but there are a few four- or all-wheel-drive models that we call out.Â Not surprisingly, the revival of the compact pickup has altered the truck landscape. In many cases, these petite trucks may be just the right size for many shoppers. That's great because most owners would rather not lug around a ton of weight that they don't necessarily need. The simplest answer to the question posed above is the Ford Maverick Hybrid. It tops this list of fuel-efficient truckswith an impressive 37-mpg EPA estimate for combined city and highway miles. With only 191 horsepower and a continuously variable transmission, it's not as capable off-road or for towing as other trucks, but if you just need something to haul stuff around, you really can't do any better. Its 4.5-foot bed has a slight advantage over its only rival, the Hyundai Santa Cruz, which has a 4-foot bed and an estimate of 23 mpg. So now we know what truck uses the least amount of gas. 2024 Ford Maverick 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain 37 mpg combined (EPA estimate) What is the most fuel-efficient midsize truck? While not as popular as their full-size siblings, midsize strike a good balance of utility and drivability. They’re easier to navigate in a crowded parking lot, and fit down more trails earning a set of Arizona pinstripes.
