THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1963 Ford Galaxie Sedan!
This FIFTY YEAR-OLD virgin BLACK LICENSE PLATE CALIFORNIA car has been driven only 28.400 miles since purchased new in Southern California. Finished in what is believed to be all original white over lipstick red interior, the phrase "IT'S ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE" certainly applies to this fabulous find. It is a great smooth solid driver as it is OR a great foundation to restore to concourse new condition OR better yet a superb candidate for a local police cruiser redo! Either way this is a cool unmolested time capsule find that can be enjoyed with its current patine and gobs of unique attention-garnering character! With that said, this old Galaxie sports a gret running 289 V8 engine mated to a smooth "cruise-o-matic" automatic transmission. Stopping power is provided by less-than stellar drum brakes. This black plate classic features working heater, lights, blinkers and horn AND the original am radio still works too! What else can I say? The trunk is all original with correct spare, the power steering is one-finger smooth and the car is being sold with the original owner's manual with the salesman's business card still attached, original hand-written window sticker, TWO sets of original keys with the little matching license plate key tag. Very cool stuff indeed! The car is being sold with clear and clean California title with current 2015 sticker and is smog-exempt here in California. This is an absolute gem for the Ford enthusiast with a four-figure buy-it now [the reserve is set considerably less!]

THE BODY AND TRIM
As I hope is articulated in the nearly 100 photos [see extra link], the exterior of this car is in fair to good VERY ORIGINAL condition overall. I would deem this car 99+% rust-free with only some light non-structural surface dusting on the worn paint finish which shows various small scrapes, nicks, faded/worn and pitted areas. The chrome is very nice and the car has nearly new rubber on the original steel wheels.
THE INTERIOR
The interior of this car is in VERY good to excellent condition overall with all systems in perfect working order [except the gas gauge is inop!]. From the beautiful original steering wheel to the lovely door panels to the extra clean headliner and working radio to the barely worn seat upholstery, the groovy lipstick red interior of this classic is in amazingly original condition throughout with the weakest area being some moderate wear on the still- presentable red loop carpeting
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic half-century old Ford starts and runs beautifully. While a bit cold blooded when started initially, when warm the engine purrs with quite reasonable and quiet power. The transmission seems to shift well, the suspension is solid and supple free of any clunks or rattles. The brakes are not exactly new Mustang GT quality but stop the car fairly well and straight. [perhaps a system bleed is in order]. The power steering is smooth and fingertip light and the car goes down the highway with nice tracking with just a slight mis-alignment pull to the right.

After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.

The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
