1958 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser- The Mercury Turnpike Cruiser was the flagship

model of the Mercury Division of the Ford Motor Company that was produced from

1957 to 1958. They are best known for the unique styling cues and wide array

of gadgets including a "Breezeway" power rear window that could be lowered

to improve ventilation, "twin jet" air intakes at upper corners of car's windshield.

Has the optional 430 Cu in Marauder V8 with Four barrel carb rated for 360HP.

The transmission shifter is unique to these vehicles due to the push button

design. This car is all original matching numbers never messed with but was

repainted in the 70's sometime. This one has the desired Cruising range and

high performance range.Has fully operational power windows all around. This

Merc is a two owner car and has been owned by my father since 1960. Garage

kept its whole life. Last registered in 2009 but ran regularly and yard driven.

Hate to part with a vehicle with so much history but his priorities have moved

away from this and are focused on the new to him 1923 Model T touring car.

This car is clean and can be daily driven. This is by all means not

a museum peace but has won its share of trophies at car shows. With a little

work this could really be a mint car. Hagerty shows these Mercs in same

condition as valued at 16,000$

Will consider trades for a Model TT, AA, or BB Ford truck or Original non

hotrodded Model A Sedans or 1932 - 35 Ford V8 cars.

500$ due within 24 hours of auction close. Rest due on pickup or within 7 days.

There is no rush to get this car out of my garage so storage may be arraigned.

Local pickup or delivery within 100 miles. Can be driven home

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
