FORD SKYLINER, In 1957 the world's only Hide-Away-Hardtop!” One minute this car is a snug, all-steel hardtop with smart Victoria styling. Touch a button and the roof vanishes into the rear deck...and you're sitting pretty in an open convertible! It's the most exciting car in a generation! Amidst it all, Ford's retractable hardtop was the automotive 'photo op' of 1957. The Ford was all-new for 1957 and the 'bigger-is-better' Fairlane 500 set sales records all year long. But Ford saved its biggest 'wow' for January when it introduced the Skyliner. Companion to the conventional Sunliner convertible, the Skyliner was America's first production convertible with a retractable hardtop. The Skyliner used a series of wires and electrical motors that retracted the hardtop into the trunk at the touch of a button.

 

This 2 owner 1957 Ford Skyliner “Hide Away Hardtop” has only 57,560 original miles and has spent most of its 57 years parked in a garage. Seldom driven in the rain which accounts for its solid rust free body and its original interior. That needing only the driver seat insert replaced and a small tear in the bolster repaired. It was repainted once by the original owner back in 1964 due to graffiti sprayed by vandals. It was repainted in the original Dresden blue and Colonial white. The engine runs strong and the transmission shifts smooth and solid. It could use a little body work and new paint to make this a center piece in any collection. But is an excellent driver as it sits.

Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback

Tue, Jun 9 2015

The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:

Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
