1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria Sedan on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
This is a 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria Sedan with the 312 cubic inch thunderbird engine, Fordomatic transmission and finished in peacock blue and white, with matching blue and white interior. Mechanically this car is in good condition, it starts up well, runs well and doesn't smoke. The transmission shifts smoothly and doesn't clunk, all the gauges work as well as lights and turn signals. The windows roll up and down smoothly and all the door hardware works smooth (no sticking push buttons). The paint and chrome on the car is older, and it does have rust issues. There are bubbles around the wheel wells and on the bottom of some of the doors and the trunk floor would need to be replaced as well. There is a small bit of damage around the drivers side headlight as well where it looks like the car was backed into at low speed but its not noticeable right away.
The interior seats are good with no rips or tears, the headliner is in great shape as well. All the carpet is there and in good condition, no rips or snares. The door panels are a little worn but still in solid shape and there is no radio in the dash but the car does have one to fit in there along with the trim plate. Also included with the car is a new weather strip rope kit color matched to the car.
Overall this is a great little driver for someone who wants something they can cruise every so often. It's a classic 50's Ford with great design and still looks good. This car is by no means perfect and I am not advertising it is as such. It has it's issues and flaws but still has many many years left for someone to be able to enjoy it and get plenty of thumbs up from people as they go by.
Please don't hesitate to contact me for more pictures and information
Thanks

Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold
Wed, 18 Dec 2013It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.
Ford Claims Focus As World's Best-Selling Car For Second Year In A Row
Mon, Jan 27 2014Ford Motor Co. has claimed its Focus sedan beat out the Toyota Corolla for the title of 'best-selling car in the world' for the second year in a row. The declaration was based on independent sales figures from January to September of 2013, according to USA Today. Last year, Ford used data from the analysis firm Polk to support its claim of having the best-selling car of 2012. Toyota objected, stating the Corolla sold more units. The numbers eventually showed that the Ford Focus was the best selling nameplate of the year, but may have been second to the Toyota sedan overall since multiple variations of the Corolla are sold under different nameplates around the world. Data from the analysis firm R.L. Polk found Focus registrations from January through September 2013 reached 856,587. Ford can thank booming car sales in China, where the automaker sold 303,481 units, for a sizable chunk of that number, which was a 16 percent increase over 2012. "Our success with Focus is the result of Ford's connection to our customers all over the world," said Jim Farley, an executive vice president at Ford. The Focus and Corolla both compete in the popular small sedan segment, along with other hot-selling cars like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Cruze. These vehicles make a up a large portion of sales for their respective automakers, as they tend to hit a sweet spot for many consumers, coming with a starting sticker price under $20,000, solid fuel economy, plenty of cargo and passenger room and, lately, sharp exterior design and sportier driving dynamics.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
