1959 ford 2 door ranch wagon.

This car is a very solid car originally from California.  It has the original 300hp 352. The trans has been upgraded to a C6. It runs and drives beautifully. We have driven this a lot and it has been very reliable for us. We have taken several family vacations in it.  The paint and interior were done about 15 years ago.  If you are looking for perfection this is probably not for you, but it is priced accordingly.  If you are looking for an awesome car that is very solid and reliable and a ton of fun to take to on the road, to local cruises, car shows, and attract lots of attention than this is perfect!!  We get told often it looks perfect, but it has it's defects and I just want to be up front about them.  Like I said it is a very sound good car I just do not want there to be surprises.

All in all this is a very nice driver quality old car. It is very solid underneath and is not a typical Midwest bondo filled rust bucket. It gets TONS of attention everywhere we take it. Seriously we can't drive it 10 miles without getting honks and thumbs ups from other drivers.  The car was also used in a Budweiser car calendar in 2011.  Will include a copy if you want one.  The car has been in the Midwest for roughly 6 years and has never seen salt or snow.

New Parts:
Aluminum radiator (have original as well)
Carburetor (have original as well)
electronic ignition
tires
shocks and front suspension components

Issues:
speedometer usually does not work
radio usually does not work (original am)
uses as little oil, does NOT smoke (nothing alarming typical old car stuff)
leaks some oil (nothing alarming typical old car stuff)
Paint is 15 years old and has a few minor dings and touch ups

Has typical old car interior squeaks and rattles (again nothing major, but they are there like any old car)

Vacuum wipers only work sometimes (we try to avoid rain and use rain-x...never been an issue)

Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Never 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.

Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
