For Sale: A very nice looking and driving 1962 Ford Thunderbird Landau. This one is a fairly rare color, Diamond Blue (a special order Lincoln color). This shade of light blue looks very good with its contrasting Black Landau roof. The excellent and correct interior is a few shades darker than the exterior, providing additional and attractive contrast. The engine runs well and is the original 390 V-8. The odometer reads 21,349. Judging by the condition of the original interior, this may be actual miles, but I cannot prove that. The previous owner thought the miles were actual. The automatic transmission shifts nicely. The car runs and drives nicely, but has been in storage without being driven since November of last year. Everything on the car works. The paint is nice, but not perfect. The landau top is in very good shape. The chrome is very shiney and solid and the stainless is also very nice. All of the trim is in good condition and the glass is clear all around. The original interior is in excellent condition. The interior chrome is good, steering wheel nice, great dash and headliner. The door panels look great and even the carpet and floor mats are nice. The colors are correct inside and out. Yes, this Thunderbird does have the common exhaust manifold leak that probably new donuts will fix. The trunk does have some surface rust and will need a new trunk kit ( mat and sideboards). The underside is very solid and looks good. The driver's side lower bumper has a blemish that the previous owner painted over with silver chrome-type paint. There is a small scuff/shallow dent on the passenger's side front wheel well lip that is not seen in the photos. My wife barely scuffed the garage side parking night. I guess I can forgive her.
Overall, this is a very nice 1962 Thunderbird that can be driven right away. The wide white wall tires really set off the light blue and black of the car. The ride is veryy smooth and comfortable. These '61-'63 Thunderbirds were very low, long, and heavy cars with a solid feel.
Please feel free to ask any questions. Sold in as-is condition. Personal inspection is encouraged.

MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty
Wed, 28 Nov 2012There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.
Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant
Tue, Jun 17 2014How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.
