offering an "absolutely rust free" 75th anniversary , 1978 Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee Edition...
This is an amazing car in every aspect...the car has just under 26,000 actual miles, is all original, and it rides and drives like new..the free and clear Indiana Title is also marked 25,884/actual..
the 78 diamond jubilee edition was one of the most luxurious cars of its time... and today is considered quite collectable. this Thunderbird came from the original owner/family...and was garaged its entire life...the body is rust free, the paint is pristine with NO fading or cracking, and still shines magnificently..
the interior is amazing...no rips, tears or stains...the crushed blue upholstery is rich in color, thick in pyle, and comfortable to sit on and touch...even the carpet is free of wear or fading..just superb...the dash pad, door panels, headliner, back shelf, are all in amazing like new condition...nothing inside car needs addressed at all.....the roof is superb, the double vinyl area of roof is sweet...soft, rich, and free of any defects or blemishes..
the 351 engine runs well, and the AT shifts smooth and properly...mechanically there is only one flaw, that being that the fuel gauge is not working..it stays on "E"... we think the float needs replaced perhaps, or the sending unit may need replaced...all other gauges work, car is equipped with PW, PDL, AC, Power Antenna, AM-FM Cassette, Power Driver Seat and much more, all of which is in good working order... the headlight covers rotate open and closed properly..
the body of this Thunderbird is not perfect, but very close...the chrome trim and bumpers gleam and are free of corrossion. there is nothing to call underbody or wheel well wise.. the only 2 spots on car to note are, a dime size door ding on passenger door (see pic down pass side body) , and on the drivers side front wheel well upper trim (see pic) there was a bump that occured when an object in the garage fell against fender..this is very minor, didnt bend trim piece, but did push in fender very slightly..
the car rides and drives very smooth, brakes and lights all work well...the tires have tread, however they are the original radials that were on car when bought new..there is some dry rotting and winner may want to replace..
This vehicle is not only rare, but literally a diamond in this overall condition..by the way, this vehicle has been life long smoke free...please be sure to ask any questions.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Ford F-150 pulls semi truck through snow-clogged Chicago streets
Wed, Feb 4 2015Earlier this week, the Midwest was crippled by a massive snowstorm that dumped a foot or more of powder in some areas. The result was, of course, transportation gridlock. It's a fortunate thing for this stranded semi-truck driver, then, that a Ford F-150 EcoBoost stumbled upon him. Despite a tow rating of just over 11,000 pounds, the four-wheel-drive, turbocharged pickup managed to dislodge the big rig from a snow-covered street. Of course, the Ford didn't get the semi moving all on its own – watch the video towards the end and the semi was quite clearly spinning its rear tires. Still, it's an impressive feat that we've little doubt F-Series fans are celebrating. Related video:
