Up for auction is a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible Sunliner. This was a father son project that we took in on trade. I don't know much about it, but will describe it to the best of my ability. Do NOT Assume anything about this car. Please email any questions you have after reading the entire ad, and I will respond to the best of my knowledge. This is a Mid 50's convertible that runs and drives, it will be a great project car! The floor pans have been patched, it has had rockers and quarter panels put on it. The inner wheel houses are original. Body work is roughed in and needs finish work on the right rocker panel. All of the body panels need to be a little better aligned. we just rebuilt the master cylinder and we put 2 new wheel cylinders on the front. It runs but needs the carburetor rebuilt. The previous owner put a new fuel pump on it, but it needs the fuel tank cleaned. We have all of the parts in a pile and will in the next couple of days add pictures, but from what we can tell all of the parts are there. It has a 312 4 barrel with a rebuilder tag on it, I don't know how many miles ago that it was rebuilt, it seems to run good and does not smoke. The car will only start in the neutral position, the neutral safety switch needs to be adjusted. This car has no exhaust, there is 6 inches of pipe off each manifold. All of the top bows are there and in good shape, there is no canvas. The seats and back panels need to be reupholstered. The dash is complete. The bottom of the car is very clean, looks like someone has cleaned, painted and undercoated it. I will also add pictures of the bottom of the car. The jack and tire iron are still in the trunk. There is a $1000 Nonrefundable deposit due on this car within 24 of end of auction. Full payment must be received within 7 days of the end of auction. Car will not leave until funds have been cleared. This car is listed locally, so I reserve the right to end this listing at anytime.

Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]
Fri, 12 Apr 2013The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007
Sat, 21 Sep 2013Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.
Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
