You are bidding on a barn fresh 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 4 door sedan. This car was put into a steel building in April of 1994 until I discovered her and brought her back to daily driver status. This car has been very well preserved. The following parts are all brand new: battery, points, condenser, coil, plugs, gas tank, fuel pump, tires, master cylinder rebuilt, brakes, changed oil, air filter, added new trans fluid, gear oil, coolant, and one new headlight. The glass in this car is in great shape - no cracks in any of it. It is 1950's double pane so it has the standard yellowing glue on the edges. Very little rust anywhere. The front fenders have rust on the bottom corner (patch pieces are available for around $60.00 each - easy repair) the rockers are very solid with only a small amount of rust in on the very rear, the lower rear quarters have pretty light rust and patch panels are also available online but may not really be needed. The worst rust is the trunk right at the body mounts behind the wheels (a small sheet of 18ga steel and 30 minutes of welding will fix this) and a body mount under the passenger floor panel is getting rusty. The spare tire cavity is perfect and rust free (this is a very common area of rust on these cars). The car had a factory undercoating so it is in remarkably good condition all around. It has dual exhaust with glass pack mufflers and new chrome tips. It rides pretty good but could use an updated suspension (perfect candidate for an air ride system) - I am currently driving it to work and back everyday so it is certainly road worthy. The engine runs smooth, idles good, accelerates, cruises on the highway. The interior is in good shape as well. The front seat is starting to get thin and the foam is hard but the back seat is in great shape. I installed brand new period correct seat belts in the back for the kids but the front does not have any. The carpet needs to be replaced but it is mostly there. The headliner is stained and has a couple small holes but it isn't falling down - still tight. The entire dashboard and gauges look like they came off the assembly line yesterday. These cars only have 5 digit odometers so it impossible to verify milage but I know this: there is an oil change sticker inside the drivers door from 1970 and the mileage is listed at 44,658. There is another oil change card on the dash from 1978 and the mileage is 53,641. The guy I bought it from said the previous owner wasn't driving it but he drove it home from there. I believe he took the missing front trim pieces for another car he had then put it into storage in 92. Sorry for the long post just trying to be accurate & detailed. This is a great running car, a survivor, and it is great to have it back on the road. Bid, win then take it to the next level with a full restore, air bag it with some gold rims, or just drive it as the time capsule that it is. Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks for looking.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773
Fri, Mar 24 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna. Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute
Fri, Jan 9 2015Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.
Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
