UP FOR BID IS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 1959 FORD GALAXIE RETRACTABLE HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM ANOTHER CAR COLLECTOR FROM NEW ENGLAND AT ONE OF THE LAST KRUSE AUCTIONS HELD AT THE VERONA NY CASINO ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO.
THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT HAS OF COURSE THE WORKING RETRACTABLE HARDTOP IN PERFECT CONDITION. IT GOES UP AND DOWN WITH A TOUCH OF A BUTTON UNDER THE DASH AND IT ALWAYS DRAWS A CROWD. THE CAR IS FULLY EQUIPPED AND HAS POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, POWER WINDOWS, POWER SEAT, AND AFTER MARKET MODERN AM/FM STEREO RADIO. (I HAVE THE ORIGINAL RADIO). THE CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC SEAT COVERS IT CAME WITH AND FEATURES A TRI-COLOR RED BLACK AND WHITE UPHOLSTERY. THE CARPETS ARE BLACK AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ALL THE UPHOLSTERY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER WORK. THE ODOMETER HAS LESS THAN 37000 ON IT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE REAL MILEAGE IS, HOWEVER THIS CAR HAS BEEN GENTLY USED. ALL THE POWER WINDOWS WORK WELL AS WELL AS THE POWER SEAT. THE CARS STARTS, STOPS, AND DRIVES EXTREMELY WELL. IT WILL CRUISE AT 65 ALL DAY LONG. I JUST TOOK A TRIP ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY FROM ROCHESTER NY TO SYRACUSE NY AND IT CRUISED AT 65MPH AND KEPT UP WITH TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. THE PAINT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SHINES BEAUTIFULLY. THE CAR MAY HAVE BEEN REPAINTED IN THE FACTORY COLOR, HOWEVER IT WAS DONE BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETECT ANY OVERSPRAY IN THE DOORS OR TRUNK AREA OR UNDER THE HOOD. THE CHROME IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SHINES LIKE IT JUST LEFT THE FACTORY. NEW CARS HAVE VIRTUALLY NO CHROME AND THIS CAR HAS LOTS OF IT. IT IS ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE GLASS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THE CAR FEATURES A TINTED FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE CAR CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH AIR CONDITIONING AND IT WORKS FINE. IT WAS MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH, AND IT HAS A CHROME EMBLEM ON THE PASSENGER DOOR STATING THE CAR IS FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH SELECT-AIRE AIR CONDITIONING. AGAIN IT WORKS FINE. AFTER I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THE OLD MECHANIC WENT THROUGH THE CAR FROM STEM TO STERN AND CORRECTED ALL MINOR DEFECTS IT HAD. THE CAR HAS 2 FACTORY SPOTLIGHTS AND THEY NOW LIGHT JUST LIKE WHEN THEY LEFT THE FACTORY. THE CONTINENTAL KIT IS FACTORY INSTALLED AS WELL. IT HAS THE SPARE TIRE. THERE IS NO RUST ON THIS VEHICLE AND I THINK THE ORIGINAL RUST PROOFING IS STILL ON THE CAR. THE CAR HAD ORIGINAL BIAS BELTED TIRES THAT WERE IN TERRIBLE SHAPE. I HAD 4 NEW FIRESTONE WHITE WALL 380'S INSTALLED ON THE CAR. THE RADIAL TIRES WORK FINE WITH THIS SUSPENSION AND IT HELPS THE CAR STOP WELL AND IT TRACKS JUST FINE. SOME PEOPLE THINK THE CAR NEEDS WIDER WHITE WALLS AND A NEW OWNER COULD MAKE THAT CHANGE. I WAS TOLD THE CAR CAME FROM ALABAMA BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE. THE MAN I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM DID NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION WITH THE CAR. HOWEVER, IT RUNS GREAT AND PERFORMS VERY WELL. IT DRIVES STRAIGHT AND TRUE AND IS FREE FROM STRANGE NOISES OR CREAKS ETC. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND A 332 CUBIC INCH ENGINE WITH A 2 BARREL CARB. THE ENGINE STARTS RIGHT UP, PURRS LIKE A KITTEN, SUPPLIES PLENTY OF POWER AND NEEDS NOTHING. I HAD ALL FLUIDS CHANGED THE YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR AND EVERYTHING MECHANICAL IS IN EXCELLENT OPERATING CONDITION. THE ENGINE OIL WAS CHANGED THIS SEASON. THE UNDER HOOD AREA IS DETAILED TO A HIGH DEGREE AND LOOKS GOOD. I SUBSCRIBE TO ALL THE OLD CAR PUBLICATIONS AND THE PRICE GUIDES AND AUCTION RESULT GUIDES. 1959 IS THE MOST POPULAR YEAR FOR THE RETRACTABLES AND RED IS THE BEST COLOR FOR ANY COLLECTIBLE CAR. VEHICLES LIKE THIS HAVE SOLD FOR AS MUCH AS $69,000 IN RECENT AUCTIONS. YES, YOU CAN BUY A RETRACTABLE FOR MUCH LESS THAN MY BUY- IT-NOW PRICE. REMEMBER, MANY OF THESE CARS WERE RUST BUCKETS AND ALL THE BODY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE. ONE CAN BUY NEW FLOOR PANS. OTHER SHEET METAL, THE LUGGAGE BUCKET FOR THE BACK, AND MUCH OF THE OTHER PARTS. THIS CAR IS ORIGINAL AS ANY 55 YEAR OLD CAR CAN BE AND HAS NO RUST. PLEASE CALL ME AT 585-259-3958 WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CAR. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER CARS FROM MY COLLECTION CURRENTLY ON EBAY. THE CAR IS GARAGED IN FAIRPORT NY WHICH IS A SUBURB OF ROCHESTER NY. TRANSPORTATION TO THE BUYER'S HOME IS COMPLETELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. I WILL COOPERATE WITH THE SHIPPER YOU CHOOSE. THE VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO GUARANTEE. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS IN TIP-TOP SHAPE AND THE NEW OWNER WILL NOT HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON RECONDITIONING. YOU CAN FIND LESS COSTLY RETRACTABLE HARDTOPS, BUT NOW AS NICE AND AS SHARP AS THIS ONE. THANKS VINCE. |

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014
Wed, 13 Nov 2013The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.
Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
