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.

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.

Watch Ken Block play traffic cop in ’Top Gear’ teaser

Tue, Dec 26 2017

BBC is teasing a new series of 'Top Gear' starring the rally racer and Hoonigans honcho Ken Block and promising that series 25 is "coming soon." Block plays a police officer (with a Los Angeles Police Department badge, no less) in an off-road 4x4 vehicle in the 30-second clip, jumping off obstacles and tearing through dirt in an industrial area near snow-capped mountains. He gives chase to show hosts Matt LeBlanc, in a yellow Ford Mustang, Rory Reid and Chris Harris, who steers a McLaren 570S. It looks like they're having more fun that the rest of us. LeBlanc has said the next season of episodes will aim to attract a younger, more diverse audience with more comedy. Series 25 is expected to launch in spring, perhaps after the wrap-up of the second season of 'The Grand Tour.'Related Video: Celebrities TV/Movies Ford McLaren Off-Road Vehicles Performance Top Gear Ken Block
