1957 Ford Fairlane 500

2dr Coupe

Up for auction is 1957 Ford Fairlane 500. As you can see, this is a 2 Coupe (although technically it's called a 2 door Sedan). This particular model is the Hardtop "No-Post".

The car recently had all the bodywork finished, all panels are nice and straight and have been aligned to fit nicely.
Most if not all the trim is there. It was removed in order to prep and primer the car. The intentions were to polish/chrome all trim once the car was painted.
The interior is also mostly all complete. Just needs to be re-upholstered.
All windows are there and in good condition. The front windshield has a small chip, otherwise it's clean.
All windows open and close freely.
The car also features the original radio, clock and heater controls.
As you can see from the pictures, it also features A/C. At this point the A/C is not working, but we haven't looked into the reason, it could need a simple recharge.
The engine was upgraded to a Mercury V8, please look at the pictures. If I'm not mistaken, I believe it's a 302 with A/C compressor.
The carburetor was recently rebuilt and the timing adjusted.
This is a California Black Plate car... meaning it's been in California most, if not all of its life.
The registration is current and up to date, hence the pink-slip is immediately available.
The car fires right-up and runs, you could technically get in and drive it any where since it has current registration. However since its been sitting at the shop for a while and most all trim removed, I would recommend towing the car to its new location

Please feel free to contact me with any questions prior to bidding, I will due my best to answer any and all concerns.

This is a low-reserve auction for a very clean 57 Fairlane 500 . Don't miss this opportunity of owning a classic no-post 2 door coupe! All the bodywork is done, all you need to do is pick you color/colors and finish the project.

**** YES, I WILL SHIP WORLD WIDE!!! All shipping fees are buyers responsibility.

Anyone not local to So.Cal: I can help refer you to companies that can ship this vehicle to your front door any place in the world, you will have to determine who you will hire.

Only forms of payment accepted are:

CASH: if you are picking up in person or
WIRE TRANSFER: if the car is being shipped out to you. Please note that the vehicle will not be released until all funds have cleared.

The car is being sold AS-IS. I am in no way, shape or form implying or promising any type of warranty or guarantee.

I am also selling the car locally, hence I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car is sold.

Thank you again and happy bidding.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown

Sun, 18 May 2014

A 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."

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
