You are looking at a 1955 Ford Thunderbird. I bought the car out of Texas in 1983, had the interior redone, put 600 miles on it, we bought a house in the country, drove it to the garage, been sitting there since 1984. Pulled it out two months ago and put new tires, new battery, reworked the carburator, transmission filter, and fuel filter. The brakes were froze up so I had the cylinders rebuilt and new brakes. Cranks on the first turn even in this cool weather weve been having. The body is solid as a rock. Never kept outside. No rust, no bondo. Frame only has surface rust on it. Straight and solid. The car has an undercoating on it that is starting to flake off as shown in the pictures. When you chip off some of the undercoating it shows that the car is not rusted out at all. The paint is starting to come off in large sections. I had an experienced automotive painter come out and he said whoever painted the car mixed the paint too rich with hardener. The black that you see under the paint is the primmer which is still intact to the metal body. The spoke rims are in bad shape. Either needs rechroming or replacing. Windows are all clear as a bell with no cracks. In my opinion, all this car needs is paint and wheels, then you would have one heck of a car. The seats have no rips or tears and are very soft. Chrome is in good shape, just needs some cleaning. I assure you that this car is in great shape. This is not a rust bucket. EASY fixer up. I can email you more pictures if you like. I'll take a pic of the engine and add it tomorrow. Feel free to call or email me about the car. 205-799-7663. Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

Ford looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
