Let me start out by saying that this car belongs to a very good friend of mine, who is unable to handle the sell of the car so i am handling the selling process for him. The car is a 1957 thunderbird, factory raven black car, the car was factory black and white interior but the interior was changed to red. The car was just recently finished from where it underwent a full restoration and has less then 50 miles on it. The car is laser straight and looks amazing. All of the interior is brand new with the exception of the inserts on the dash which are the original ones for the car. When the car was built it was built with the intention of driving. The motor in the car is the original one for the car, and is a 312 Y Block, but the carb has been changed to one that is a little bit easier to tune. The transmission is not the original one for the car, the car came factory with a 3 speed standard shift, but during restoration the car was changed to a 4 speed, to make it easier to drive. Now if your looking for a trailer queen, well i can say that this one is certainly not for you, and it certainly doesnt have one of those crazy prices either. This car is a great driver that you can get in and enjoy right now. If your looking for one that you can get in pretty good and do a little detail work on to make it as close to trailer queen but still enjoy, then this car could be for you. The car still has its factory front and rear bumpers, now from a quick look they look great, but when you get close you can pick them for just minor things. The car could use a little more detail work under the hood, like the factory breather, and the manifolds painted, little stuff like that which would give you a little bit better chance of getting that best of show trophy. Like i said this car was built to drive, not a trailer queen. The car has the factory hardtop, and does not have a soft top, but it does have a quick cover that is behind the seat and snaps in real quick if you get caught out in the rain or something. The car is for sale locally and is subject to be taken off if sold. A 25% deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end and the balance within 7 more when the car is to be picked up or arrangments are made for the car to be shipped. If you have any questions about the car please fill free to ask and i will gladly answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks and God Bless Kody 251-454-5455

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown
Sun, 18 May 2014A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
