1957 Ford Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
This listing is for a 1957 Ford Thunderbird which has been garage kept and lightly used for the last three years.
The Thunderbird is a 312 cubic inch car with 4 barrel Holley carburetor, which looks to be the original equipment
to the car. The transmission is a 3-speed automatic which shifts well, engine starts easily, and makes good power.
The car has manual windows, brakes and steering. She has a electric fuel pump making cold starts much easier, and
we have also installed a new radiator, fan, tires, trunk release switch, and speedometer.
The exterior of the car is rather unique, as it was modified many years ago with several additions. At the front
there is a grill insert from a Cadillac, on the sides there are non-functional side pipes and altered vents. At the
rear, the tail lights were changed; and the dark green paint was augmented by hand painted pin striping and grey
detailing. Even the window glass itself was etched, making every panel unique on the car.
The condition of the car is good. This is an excellent driver, but not a concours vehicle by any stretch. There are
areas of chips, bondo bubbles, and very miminal rust. The paint is still in excellent shape and the clear coat is
still very consistent across the car. She has good condition Fenton wheels on new BF Goodrich white wall tires.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms
Tue, 25 Jun 2013The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?"
