On offer here is one of the most stunning 1957 Ford Thunderbirds which money can buy. This car is is powered by the venerable 312 Cubic Inch V8 which is shifted through the correct "Ford-o-Matic" automatic transmission. The car is finished in the stunning color combination of Flame Red over red interior and features the iconic white porthole hardtop. The car was restored to concours standards in the late 90s and has held up perfectly ever since. The car presents as new and comes with a binder full of restoration pictures along with the original window sticker and service paperwork for the car! The bottom of the car is every bit as nice as the top.  Of most concern though, is the fact that this car is restored to Classic Thunderbird Club International (CTCI) concours standards and received a Gold award from them. The car also comes with a letter from CTCI elevating the car to "Senior Division" status.  

Overall, what you have here is a car which is restored the highest of levels in one of the best colors.  This car starts on the first try every time and all systems on the car work perfectly, even the clock! The car is as reliable as can be and would make for a fantastic show car or a  fun car to drive on special occasions. This car is not one of those trailered show cars which does not run well. While still a show car, everything on the car works and the car functions just as a 1957 Thunderbird would have in 1957. No excuses with this one. The finishes on the car are immaculate and the restoration has held up extremely well since the car was done.  If you are looking for a great 1957 Ford Thunderbird to add to your collection, you have just found it.  

Please note: as I was taking pictures of the engine compartment it did start to sprinkle very lightly. The little specs you see in the pictures are not chrome pitting or paint imperfections but merely a few sprinkles of rain.  As said before in the listing, the finishes on the car are all in fantastic condition.

The car is located in Overland Park, KS which is a suburb of Kansas City, KS. The car can be viewed on appointment and we encourage anyone interested in the car to please come see it. You will certainly not be disappointed! Please call Frank Thompson at 913 269 6513 with any questions about this fine 1957 Thunderbird.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond

Fri, Jun 21 2024

While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years.  We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.   Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique, Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey."   Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?   Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt.   Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform.   Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.   Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
