1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie 500 B9ae on 2040-cars
McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, United States
|
What you are looking at is a 59 Ford with a TON of patina. It was to be built for a rat rod event this Fall but we have aborted the project due to 3 full blown 100 pt. restorations that have arrived. The trunk is super solid. The passenger floor board is the worst, drivers has some issues. (if not doing a full restoration it wouldn't take more than a few hours to weld some new sheet-metal in). The frame is structurally strong, a few small side holes that I did take pictures of. There is no motor, no transmitting or pumpkin in the rear (has axles and 9" housing). This is a roller. Headliner is in great shape. Has some seats, not sure from what. Does also have an exhaust system with a glass pack (single)
This car DOES come with a hood. It was off in preparation of cleaning up under the hood. The original plan was to keep this car looking exactly this way but update the drive line and brakes. We have a 10:1 big cam 390 FE, top loader 4 speed and 3:89 locker rear that were going to go in. If this type of build is something you would be interested in, we can do that as well. With this car being a run of the mill 4 door, I do not suggest a full resto. While we do that, typically its convertibles, hardtops and or wagons. We will also do a patina hot rod. So if something around the 450HP mark with everything updated in this car is something you want, we can make that happen. As we dont just specialize in 59 Fords, we do currently have 2 59 Builds at this time and this car would take a few months to get to. Either way, you are looking at a potentially really fun tire-burning patina rat rod 59 Ford! Here are a LOT Of HIGH RES pictures:
CLICK HERE for many photobucket pictures! You must pick up within 1 week of auction end. I CAN deliver however I am only one guy with a trailer and truck. So it will be expensive and you must have a good place to unload and move the car yourself. You are ultimately responsible for picking the car up. Please bid to win. If you have feedback of less than 10, I have to cancel your bid unless you contact me! |

Autoblog Podcast #326:
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
2015 Ford Expedition
Mon, 21 Jul 2014While the tide of bigger-is-better SUVs has been in recession since, well, the recession, fullsize utes are still very much with us. Conservative creatures that have been loathe to evolve, fullsize SUVs nonetheless remain enduringly popular among large families, livery customers, and anyone with lots of friends, relatives, and toys to tug around. With respect to Toyota and Nissan, the only players that really matter in the segment are the new-for-2015 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban, the GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, and this truck: the Ford Expedition, the latest evolution of which we just drove for the first time at a press preview in West Virginia.
Unlike the General Motors utilities, the standard Expedition and the long-wheelbase Expedition EL are not all-new, but rather are heavily refreshed versions of the same basic truck Ford started selling way back in 2007. The front fascia is where most of the exterior update happens for 2015, with a new three-bar grille design, halogen projector headlamps, and new bumper design with available LED foglamps. Despite all the new bits, the facelift breaks exactly zero ground in terms of design; in fact, it already looks dated, and will only look older once the macho 2015 F-150 bows later this year. Even less has changed out back, where the tailgate gets a wide chrome band spanning the taillamps and a new chrome exhaust tip. Other exterior changes are generally limited to colors and an all-new wheel lineup that includes a gleaming set of six-spoke 22-inch polished wheels on high-end models.
Speaking of high-end models, a new Platinum trim is positioned above the cowboy-spec King Ranch model for 2015. Both the Platinum and King Ranch get their own color combos and exterior trim finishes (satin metal for the Platinum, chrome everywhere and ginormous badges for the King Ranch) and posh, leather-lined interiors with their own aesthetic. The Expedition family also now includes a price-leading XL model, as well as XLT and Limited grades.
