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.

Ford recalls Explorer, Flex, Taurus for parking brakes

Wed, Jul 22 2015

Ford announced a recall of nearly 8,000 vehicles spread across a broad range of models for a faulty parking brake, which might not engage fully. The automaker has not received any reports of accidents or injuries resulting from the issue. The recall affects certain examples of the 2015-16 Ford Explorer, the 2015 Taurus, and the 2015 Flex. The 2015 Lincoln MKS and MKT are also included in the campaign. The vehicles in question were assembled at the company's Chicago and Oakville (Ontario) plants from May 4 to May 23. All told, 7,165 of the affected vehicles are estimated to be in the United States, with another 799 in Canada, and a solitary example in Mexico. In order to address the issue, owners are asked to bring the affected vehicles their local dealership, where technicians will inspect the vehicle and where necessary, replace the parking brake control assembly. Jul 22, 2015 | DEARBORN, Mich.

Buy Ford and GM stock and make 5%

Tue, Feb 2 2016

Want to make a five-percent return when 10-year treasuries are paying around two percent? Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) have solid balance sheets, strong cash flow, solid earnings, and growing markets. By all accounts, they are smart investments. But the market is down on these stocks. Why? Some of the stupid excuses include: They are cyclical companies The Detroit 3 have lost 3.5 million in sales since 2000 The world economy is shaky GM recently filed for bankruptcy Their markets have peaked They haven't changed their ways Let's take these criticisms one by one: They Are Cyclical Companies Yes, they are cyclical. Every company is cyclical. Every industry is cyclical. Some more than others, but not every company is immune from swings in the market. Banks used to be 'non-cyclical' leader, not anymore. Airline stocks are just as cyclical as auto stocks, yet they are trading at multiples greater than the auto industry. Why? And what accounts for the irrational stock price for Tesla (TSLA)? At least Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) make money and have positive cash flows. In fact, both companies have a net positive cash position. They have more cash on hand than liabilities. Auto sales in the United States hit a record 17.5 million vehicles in 2015. During the Great Recession, Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) cut their break even points to 10 million vehicles per year. Anything above an annual U.S. volume of 10 million vehicles is profit. And what a profit they make. Sales of Ford's F-150 continues to be the best-selling vehicle in the United States for over 30 years. Detroit 3 Have Lost 3.5 million in Sales Since 2000 Automotive News reports General Motors (GM), Ford (F) and Chrysler (FCA) have lost a combined 3.5 million vehicles sales since 2000. So how can they be making more money? Two big reasons – Fleet Sales and the UAW. Fleet Sales The Detroit 3 used to own car rental companies to keep their factories running. Ford owned Hertz (HTZ), General Motors owned all of National Car Rental and 29 percent of Avis, and Chrysler, the forerunner to Fiat Chrysler (FCA), used to own Thrifty Car Rental and Dollar Rent-A-Car. The Detroit 3 owned these rental companies to have a place to sell their bad product and keep their factories running. These were low margin sales, and in many cases, were money losers for the Detroit 3. They no longer own auto rental companies.
