Not all 1957 "Baby Birds" are the same. This 57 year old, always garaged Bird was one of the last 1957s off the assembly line on or after the October 1957 build run. While most all of 21,380 1957 T-Birds had the Starmist Blue paint this beauty has the "Azure Blue" paint code that was introduced on the last runs of 1957 models (October 14th-December 13th 1957) for the 1958 model color. It sports the town and country radio that takes about two minutes to warm up, and for your comfort, a power seat and a heater. The automatic transmission is attached to the 312 CID V-8 and both operate smoothly with the help of the Kelsey Hayes wheels and radial whitewalls. When you remove the top it has the rolling rack for storing it. The gentleman I purchased the car from about 10 years ago sold it only because he was unable to get in and out of it because of a hip replacement, and if you've have ever climbed behind the wheel of one on of the early Birds you know it's not an easy task , even with a good hip and the telescopic steering wheel all the way retracted. The history passed on to me from the gentleman I purchased it from about 10 years ago is that he purchased the car used from Ken Roggy Ford in La Puente in 1960 and had it cosmetically redone again in 1985. This is a no rust vehicle and is open to any inspection. This T-Bird like all the Early "Birds" will only continue to go up in price. It's a true classic that is road ready is worth the investment even if you just park it the garage to look at, and drive it one time a month around town like I have done. The pictures attached do this car no justice. It's been covered and I took the pictures prior to washing it. The purchaser is responsible for pick up and delivery a $1000 deposit through paypal to hold for 10 days and the balance to be cashiers check, cash or bank wire paid and cleared prior to pick-up.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII

Fri, 17 May 2013

Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.

Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback

Tue, Jun 9 2015

The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:

Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
