Here for your consideration is a 1957 Ford Fairlane Wagon that is one of the best I've seen in several years. The wagon is from Colorado, where salt on roads was rarely used, thus it does not have the typical cancer that you see on these old wagons. The car has never bee hit. The rear gate and rear glass are very solid and operate as they should. All of the folding assemblies inside the car work properly. The only required rust repair is in the floorpans, none of which is large enough to warrant panel replacement, but rather forming patch panels and installing. The is very minor rust in the lower corners as pictured, again, not enough to replace panels, but simply repair. If you are familiar with these wagons, you will agree that this is a solid of a '57 you are going to find these days. I have not tried to crank the engine, so I know nothing about it's condition. This is also a power steering car which is a fairly rare option on and old wagon. I have a clear NC title in my name for this car. I have no documentation, but the condition of the car seems to indicate the the 82000 miles is original. Again, this is the easiest 57 wagon project you are going to find, don't let it get away. Buyer is responsible for transporting thcat to it's new home, but I can help find a transporter, depending on where you are located. I reserve the right to end this listing at any time, as I have the car listed for sale locally. Full payment need to be made within two weeks of auction's end. The car can stay here for 60 days if needed. Thanks for looking.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.
Alan Mulally talks about why Ford's Falcon had to die
Tue, 20 Aug 2013When Ford made the decision to end production of the Falcon sedan and Territory CUV in Australia, it wasn't a popular move Down Under. The large, four-door Falcon had been in production for 50 years, and while Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to the Australian market, it's understandable that some people still aren't all that crazy about the Blue Oval's decision.
Speaking to CEO Alan Mulally after Ford's Go Further event in Sydney, Australian site Go Auto reports that the decision was not one made lightly, and that the automaker is doing everything possible to respect the Falcon and Territory's "stakeholders." It's an interesting piece that shows a softer side of a corporation, while demonstrating that Ford is doing everything in its power to make the end of production as smooth as possible for all parties.
Head over to Go Auto for the full series of remarks from Mulally, and then let us know what you think of Ford's handling of the Falcon and Territory discontinuations, in Comments.
