Dripping Springs, Texas, United States

This is a way cool first year model 1957 Ranchero, custom edition.

Starts easy, runs and shifts perfect. Clean Texas title, inspected and registered – ready to go!

This car just drips with style and is a conversation starter wherever you drive it. New exhaust has a beautiful tone and the car is a solid driver.

Recent upgrades:

Converted to disc brakes up front, rebuilt drums on back. New brake lines, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes, etc. Stops on a dime.

New rims up front, four new tires, new wheel bearings, seals, etc.

New complete exhaust system (Magna Flow MagPac) replaced right manifold, left manifold re-surfaced, new gaskets, and "pencil tip” exhaust tips.

While exhaust was out, the entire underbody was sprayed with rust-resistant undercoating

New gas tank and fuel hoses installed.

Four new shocks and new battery

Stock 292 Engine with “Three Deuces” carb set-up and Eddlebrock manifold. Only center carb is hooked up, have spare linkages for other two carbs - but runs great with current set-up. “Three on the Tree” transmission

Interior is in very nice shape - looks original, but can’t be - not sure when it was redone.

Paint job looks great for a driver. Not sure when it was painted – there are at least two small paint blemishes (see photo). Body is great.

Driver side window is cracked (always rolled down anyway) - all other glass is nice and original.

I do have both rear wheel covers (matching and in good shape).

Come by to check her out, or contact me with any questions. I can send more photos or videos of her running.

If the right offer comes along, I reserve the right to pull the car from the auction.

You don’t see these cars come around often – especially in this shape for this price…

Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
