For sale is a 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Skyliner. It is one of the rare retractable hardtops. This car comes well equipped with options including 352 300 HP engine, Cruise-o-matic transmission, factory air conditioning, dual spotlights, power steering, power brakes and electric wipers. It also has the desirable two tone colors of geranium and colonial white. Overall on a 1 to 5 scale, I feel it is a condition 3, which is presentable for local parades and cruise-ins but not a show car. I will detail an accurate description as follows.

First of all, the engine starts and runs well with no odd noises or smoke. We are not sure of the actual mileage. The Cruise-o-matic transmission is rebuilt and performs well. The differential has no problems or issues. The car has had one repaint long ago with the color scheme done in reverse of original as shown on the original data plate. The paint has good shine but has nicks, scratches and waves. There is evidence of filler along some lower parts of the body. It appears there is small spotty rust in the outer rockers, lower door corners and lower rear quarters and wheel lips. The floors are not rusty and have original paint showing under the carpet. The trunk is mostly solid with only the outer rear corners being somewhat thin. The inner rockers and floor supports are solid, and the frame has no damage or rust. I see no evidence of any body or frame damage due to an accident. The rear bumper has been rechromed, and the front is nice original. All other stainless and chrome trim looks to be good original with some dings and scratches. The windshield has small wiper scratches on the driver's side, and there are cracks in the passenger door glass. All the windows roll up and down. All weather stripping is original and worn with a few pieces missing. The interior has been redone some years ago in original style and with similar to original materials. It has some spotty wear.

Operationally the car is good with the retractable top working fine. The exterior lights and turn signals work, as well as the wipers, horn, speedometer, odometer, oil light, amp light and dash lights. The fuel gauge, radio, heater fan, clock, left door lock and domelight do not work. The air conditioner is missing some refrigerant lines and does not work, but all the main components are there. The right hand spotlight is damaged and missing some parts. Also the rear Fairlane emblem, luggage tub and jack are missing. Some recently repaired items are the transmission and radiator. Recently replaced items are brakes, battery, starter solenoid, starter drive, mufflers, drive belts and thermostat.

Overall it is a mostly complete, good driving car with a desirable color combination and good options which can be enjoyed as is or as an excellent candidate for restoration. Some miscellaneous spare spotlight and continental kit parts are included. Thanks for looking. You can call Steve at 812-449-7184.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

Ford’s Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch win the 2022 Autoblog Technology of the Year award

Thu, Dec 1 2022

The 2022 Autoblog Technology of the Year award goes to Ford for the Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch hauling and towing features found in the F-150 lineup. This new technology, as tested in the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning, is a boon to pickup truck owners. Not only will it make observing your truck’s maximum loads easier and more intuitive, but it will also ensure youÂ’re hauling and towing in the safest-possible manner. We began the process with a long list of features to test and whittle down. Technologies like MercedesÂ’ new electric turbocharger, GMÂ’s Super Cruise with added towing capability and many more went through the consideration process, but we finally whittled the field down to just three finalists. They are: the GMC Hummer EV with its flashy CrabWalk four-wheel-steer technology, the Genesis GV60 with its facial recognition/fingerprint start technology, and of course FordÂ’s trucking gear. As is the norm for our Technology of the Year award, three main questions are asked, and editors assign point values based on how well the technologies perform in testing. How significant is this tech? How well does it work? And new for this year: Consider the Wow Factor. With the scores tallied, the Ford tech earned 123 points, topping the Hummer (117 points) and GV60 (108). This is the second straight win for Ford, which won the 2021 TOY Award with its Pro Power Onboard charging feature.Â Ford joins Tesla (2014, 2016) as the only two-time winner of our Tech of the Year Award, which dates to 2013. Kia, Cadillac, Tesla, BMW, Chevy, Chrysler and Audi technologies are among the previous winners. 2022 Technology of the Year testing View 16 Photos While systems that tow and haul may not seem to be the latest or most sophisticated tech, they remain essential and Ford uses things like the infotainment system, taillights and the Ford mobile app to create a forward-looking experience Henry Ford would never have dreamed of when the first Model Ts were outfitted with beds for farm and war duty in 1917. Even 10 years ago, integrating tech in this manner would have seemed futuristic, but Ford pulls it off. Â“FordÂ’s clever towing and hauling features earned our award this year because they are easy to use, easy to understand and simply make your life as a truck owner better,Â” Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore said. Â“It was a competitive field this year, with HummerÂ’s CrabWalk and GenesisÂ’s Biometrics features both winning strong support.
