1959 Ford Fairlane Skyliner Retractable - Old School Look Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Holden, Missouri, United States
1959 Ford Fairlane Skyliner Retractable This is not your grandfather's Skyliner. All the heavy lifting has been done over the last 10 years, so if you like to tinker this might be right up your driveway. Some updates include: * 352 motor with pointless distributor *New ignition modules, coil, plugs, wires and carb *Motor has no clicks clacks, knocks, smoke or leaks *Runs even and purrs at idle *Fuel pump, filters, hoses and clamps *Die hard battery *Power steering pump *U-joints *Dual exhaust (left side donut leaks) *Complete brake job *Heater core and hoses *3-spd automatic transmission - NO slipping, shifts positive *Tires are 90% *Top goes up and down when operated ALL MAJOR COMPONENTS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. Shop manual is included for the handy or Jerry's Classics in Arkansas specializes in Retractables. I highly recommend them for parts/labor. Good honest shop. The body is solid, straight, blocked and painted with yellow/black 2K primar sealer. An added bit of aged patina enhanced the theme of the car. Professional body work and paint have held up well over the years. This old iron still has the original floor and trunk pans. Never was a rust bucket. If your looking for something different, a one of a kind show stopper that you'll never see at any car show, you should consider it - not only for its investment grade (only 12519 built), but you'll get more bang for your buck and "that's cool man" comments, then the trailer queen beside it. I guarantee it. Mabeline has unfortunately been parked for the last couple of years and only run occasionally due to health reasons, but it has never failed to start up and go. Starts, Runs, and Stops. The car needs to be enjoyed, driven and loved to make her happy again, so it's time to find a good Ford family to refresh her. Now I'm getting misty so I will leave it at that. If you have any questions please feel free to call me anytime. Happy highways everyone. -Gary- I am listing this for a buddy, so please DO NOT EMAIL!!! You can reach Gary at 816-716-7086 |

Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.
Ford recalls 2020-21 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, 2021 E-Series
Mon, Dec 21 2020Ford announced safety recalls for the 2020-2021 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator along with the 2021 E-Series early Monday. The recalls address entirely different issues. In the case of the 2020-2021 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, that issue is motor mount hardware. Specifically, the fasteners that secure the passenger-side motor mount may back out. In Ford's words, this can result in a "loss of power," which is the entirely predictable result of an engine parting ways with the vehicle it powers. As alarming as that may sound, owners should not have to worry about anything extreme, as the passenger side mount is only one of multiple, and Ford says it is not aware of any incidents that have occurred with vehicles in customer hands. Ford says it impacts only about 1400 examples of the Explorer and Aviator in the States (plus two in Mexico and 65 in Canada) that were built at Chicago Assembly Plant between July 28 and 30, 2020. Ford is in the process of alerting its owners to the recall, and those with affected models will have their mount hardware replaced by their local Ford dealerships free of charge. The 2021 E-Series is being recalled for a potential heat management issue resulting from improperly aligned thermal insulation on the underside of its engine cover. In vehicles where this insulation was not properly installed so that it reaches all the way to the edges of the cover, the resulting heat bleed can cause high in-cabin surface temperatures, and direct contact them could result in burns. This is the larger of the two recalls, as Ford says it covers nearly 33,000 examples sold in the United States and Canada. Fortunately, as with the above issue, Ford says it has not been made aware of any customer incidents. Ford says the remedy is a set of insulation patches for the exposed areas. Related Video:
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
