THUNDERBIRD HERITAGE

Heritage is, as always, the ultimate in Thunderbird personal luxury.

Great comfort, convenience and distinction.

Outside, Heritage features unique quarter windows and electro-luminescent coach lamps.

Dual electric remote control mirrors.

Wide bodyside moldings, bumper rub strip extensions and wire wheel covers.

Special grille ornament.

Hood, bodyside and deck lid stripes add smart accent touches.

Inside, you’re surrounded by the richness of the interior luxury group.

Seats are trimmed in velour cloth with a Thunderbird embroidered in each seat back.

Front seats include carpeted cushion side facings, a map pocket with Velcro closure for the driver and seat back map pockets.

The center area between rear seating positions is richly carpeted.

There are soft cloth inserts in the door panels and the coved area of the quarter trim panels.

Courtesy lights are in the door and quarter trim panels, too, with on/off switch for the latter located in the console.

Luxury floor carpeting, of course.

The instrumental panel has unique Prima Vera woodtone appliques and the luxury steering wheel has a matching woodtone center insert.

There’s even luxury trim in the luggage compartment.

And convenience items all around: Dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors, electronic digital clock, light group, diagnostic warning lights, power side windows, interval windshield wipers, automatic parking brake release and tinted glass.

Heritage luxury doesn’t there.

It includes as well the convenience of a power lock group.

A tilt steering wheel that adjusts to five positions.

The autolamp on/off/delay and illuminated entry systems provide sophisticated services even when you’re not inside the car.

And the electronic instrument cluster is also standard.

An electronic AM/FM Stereo search radio is combined with the premium sound system.

And to reflect your pride of ownership, an anodized aluminum plaque bearing your signature will be sent to you shortly after delivery (not included in this sale).

Heritage: The top of the line Thunderbird and fully deserving of the name.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.

MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.

Who would win in a race if the Super Bowl teams were cars?

Sat, Feb 6 2016

Until the last down is played this Sunday, we will have the annoyance pleasure of listening to analysts bicker between who will win the Super Bowl, not unlike automotive analysts who do the same thing with cars. If I had a dollar for every conversation about what car would win against another on a specific track, I wouldn't be buying the raw avocados this year for my guacamole. Instead I would be purchasing organic avocados and have the guacamole served in a Ferrari-themed bowl. Yes, those exist. Even so, we still watch year after year knowing full well that the pre-game analysis typically adds up to less than what is left over in the chip bowl after the last guest leaves. Let's take a different approach to analysis this year, let's compare these teams to their vehicle equivalent to decide who would win in a fair race. How do you determine a fair race? When I think of a fair race I think of the Nurburgring. A track that is 12.9 miles, has 1,000 feet of elevation change, and is famously nicknamed The Green Hell by famed driver Jackie Stewart. Although your Supra may beat The Flash himself in a straight line, chances are once you push it to the limits on a 12.9-mile track your brakes will smell like a bonfire and your suspension will have gone into cardiac arrest twice. So if we're racing The 'Ring, what are we driving? To best answer that question we must determine what characteristics define these teams. Not being someone who knows more about my fantasy league than my significant other, I can only go off what I have heard from "experts." The Panthers are honestly known for Cam Newton. Cam is a versatile, fast, brash, and fairly young quarterback. He apologizes for nothing and has Ali-like confidence that shows in his choice of Liberace-type attire. Although he looks to be the favorite, he hasn't yet won a Super Bowl and the team's second-half performances are less than climatic. In racing terms, he has won a lot but no one has seen him race in the dark at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Panthers have a ton of acceleration, a brand new chassis, and a driver who is hungry for that first big win. On the other side of the track are the Broncos. It seems as though the Broncos are known for two things, a nostalgic quarterback and a defense that could strike fear into a Honey Badger. If the Broncos were just one component of a vehicle they would be the brakes, and these brakes are outfitted for a locomotive.
