Here is your chance to buy a nice 1957 Ford Thunderbird Hard top convertible for a lot less than the others listed. Best year for the Thunderbird. The hardtop is removable. A nice driver quality car. The paint was redone some time ago and looks OK. There are a few cracks and we did not see any rust coming through(see photos). The bumpers look OK and have some pitting and some small rust spots(see photos). As for the interior it is nice and the carpets and seats look to have been replaced on the recent side. There are no cracks or rips on the seats. The miles on the odometer shows 66185 but we can not confirm that so we sell it with not actual miles. The previous owner had the car for the past 10 years and drove it to all the shows and swap meets and well as for the Sunday cruise. The motor sounds strong and is not the original to the vehicle. It does run well. The transmission shifts and runs well.
This is a toy you can put in the garage and drive when you want and can work on it when you want. Great for the weekend driver. We priced this car to sell. NADA prices this car at an average retail of $35,000. We also used Black Book CPI guide and they give you different values based on condition. For a car in good condition $38,700, Excel $69,650 and fair $21,650. They also said that this car had a 1% increase from the prior year in value. That's more than money in the bank earns and you can actual enjoy this! I'll let you do the math.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

Ford Explorer, Expedition next to go aluminum?
Sun, 13 Apr 2014Ford made some serious waves when it unveiled the latest F-150. Instead of making its bodywork out of steel, like just about every other truck on the market, Ford went with aluminum. And you can bet the F-150 won't be the last Ford model to go with the lightweight alloy construction, either.
Our compatriots at Edmunds report that Dearborn is considering replacing two of its most popular SUVs with aluminum versions. One candidate is the Expedition, which would make sense considering that the current model (like the two preceding generations and the fullsize Bronco before it) is based on the F-150's underpinnings. Another is the Explorer, which was traditionally based on the Ranger pickup but went with a car-like unibody chassis in its current iteration. If the Explorer does go the way of aluminum, don't expect it to be a part of its very next update, which is likely due too soon for such major changes.
It would stand to reason that, if the Expedition were to go aluminum, so would the next-generation Lincoln Navigator. Ditto the MKT together with the Explorer. But those aren't likely to be the only models in contention for aluminum construction. Like any other automaker, Ford is under pressure to steadily reduce its carbon emissions and improve its fuel economy figures, prompting it to look at a whole range of measures - including more efficient engines, lower rolling-resistance tires, active aerodynamics and lightweight construction. Expect aluminum to play a big part in that equation moving forward.
