Ford F-150 Milestones

A day on the job -- or a night at the movies. The F-150 makes the transition in style. This could be why the F-150 has been America’s best-selling pickup for 29 years running. Here are a few other reasons:

Ford Fusion Milestones

Fusion is a mid-size car between the Focus and the Ford 500. It ranked tops in a J. D. Power segment that recognizes performance, execution and layout. This was mostly due to its bold styling and sleek and wedge-like. The interior is also roomy with a modern and upscale look that delivers a remarkable level of cabin quiet.

  • J. D. Power APEAL Study top honors

  • Increased body stiffness

  • Enhanced, smoother ride

  • Roomy rear cabin


Fusion also gives you a choice of powerplants, both of which turn in surprisingly good highway fuel economy. The four-cylinder is rated at 31 mpg, and the V-6 at 28 mpg. But there’s more to these engines than that:

  • Duratec 2.3L 4-cylinder with 160 hp

  • Duratec 3.0L V-6 with 221 hp

  • Aluminum blocks

  • DOHC four-valve heads

  • Variable cam timing

  • Electronic throttle control


The measure of any car is its list of available options and enhanced features. In this department, Fusion is a real contender:

  • 16-inch wheels

  • Available 17-inch aluminum wheels

  • Fog lamps

  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel

  • AM/FM/CDMP3 stereo with 4-speaker sound

  • Remote Keyless Entry

  • Tilt/telescoping steering wheel


In the realm of safety and security, Fusion is a real player as well. Both active and passive systems place this Ford at the forefront of the available choices:

  • Dual front airbags

  • Side impact airbags

  • Side impact curtain airbags

  • Rear door child safety locks

  • Passive anti-theft system

Ford 500 Milestones

This is another Ford legend, just re-introduced in 2005. But for the 21st century, Ford re-wrote the rule book when it came to packaging and powertrain. The 500 combines outstanding performance, handsome styling and big-car interior in a package that’s unique in the industry.

  • European-inspired platform

  • 5-passenger sedan

  • Large 21.2 cu ft. trunk

  • Four trim levels


The 500 got its name from a performance oriented race. And performance is still a mainstay of this great sedan:

  • 3.0L 24-valve Duratec V-6

  • 6-speed constantly variable automatic transmission

  • Front-wheel drive

  • Available all-wheel drive


To get all of that energy to the ground, the Ford 500 uses some impressive suspension engineering:

  • Power Steering

  • 4-wheel power disc brakes

  • ABS

  • Available traction control

  • 17 or 18 inch machined aluminum wheels

  • BSW all-season tires


In the safety and security department, the Ford 500 has earned the National Highway Safety Administration’s 5-star rating, and the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety highest possible rating in front, side and rear crash tests. But there’s more:

  • Dual front airbags

  • Side impact air bags

  • Safety belt pretensioners

  • Crash severity sensor

  • Child safety rear door locks

Ford Crown Victoria Milestones

  • Restrained and sophisticated styling

  • Excellent power

  • Responsive steering

  • Quality features and construction

  • Comfort and quiet a priority


Power and response is a given for the Crown Victoria. And advanced technologies have made that dimension of this impressive sedan even more substantial:

  • 4.6L SOHC V-8 with 239 hp

  • Low restriction stainless steel exhausts

  • 3.27:1 rear axle ratio

  • 4-speed automatic transmission


Inside, the Crown Victoria is well-appointed and ready to please. The door openings are wide and the glass area large for good visibility in any direction. But there’s more:

  • 106.4 cu. ft. of cabin space

  • Power adjustable foot pedals

  • 8-way power driver’s seat

  • Tilt wheel

  • Automatic climate control

  • Rear seat reading lamps

  • Coupe or convertible styles

  • Four trim levels

  • Six-inch longer wheelbase

  • Power mirrors

  • Remote Keyless Entry


But Mustang wouldn’t be Mustang if it didn’t have some horsepower to run with. And the 2007 “pony car” has a very worthy stable under the hood.

  • 4.0L SOHC 210 hp V-6

  • 4.6L OHV 24-valve 300 hp V-8 with dual exhausts

  • 5.4L 32-valve supercharged 500 hp V-8

  • 5-speed manual transmission

  • 3-link rear suspension with coil springs

  • Power rack-and-pinion steering

  • Machined aluminum 16, 17 or 18-inch wheels
