Ford Galaxie Skyliner Take a
look at this beautiful 1959 Ford Galaxie Skyliner With Retractable Hard Top
brought to you by CARuso Classic Cars. This Rare Classic is in Excellent
Condition & Fully Functional!!! Equipped With Rare 352 Cubic V8 With 3 Speed
Automatic Transmission and Has Both Galaxie & Fairlane 500 Badging Which
Adds to its Value! The Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner is a full-size two-door
automobile with a retractable hardtop, which was produced by the Ford Motor
Company in the United States for the model years 1957, 1958 and 1959. Part of
the Ford Fairlane range, the Skyliner had a complex mechanism, which folded the
front of the roof and retracted it under the rear decklid. It had three roof
drive motors driving four lift jacks, four door-lock motors, ten solenoids,
four locking mechanisms for the roof, and a total of 610 ft. (185.9 m) of
wiring. The large top took up vast amounts of trunk space, limiting the car's
sales (however, unlike what most people believe, the mechanism had decent reliability).
Production totaled 20,766 units in 1957, declining to 14,713 in 1958 and to
12,915 in 1959. An electric clock was standard. Fuel consumption was around 14
mpg overall. The fuel tank was placed under the rear seat, which inadvertently
added safety in rear collisions. The wheelbase of the Skyliner was 118 in
(3,000 mm) and the overall length was 210.8 in (5,350 mm). During the 1959 model year the Galaxie series
was added to Fords full-size range and the Skyliner model was absorbed into
that series. Although the 59 Galaxie was designated as a separate series, Galaxies
carried both Fairlane 500 and Galaxie badging, on the rear and sides
respectively. It came with the standard with the 292CID 2-barrel 200 hp V8. At
the time of its introduction, the Skyliner was the only true hardtop
convertible in the world. Call Breeda for more details 508-944-2108.
This car will be showstopper at the weekly car shows. Thanks for
looking! Vehicle Condition

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014
Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang to cost $52,995?
Mon, Dec 1 2014The 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang was one of the shining stars of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. And the Blue Oval's latest muscle car might even have reason to burn a little brighter if a recent rumor about its price proves true. Best of all are rumors that an even more potent version of the Shelby is potentially on the way. According to Horsepower Kings citing unnamed Ford sources at the LA Auto Show, the 2015 GT350 carries a starting price of $52,995, and the Tech package adds a further $2,995 on top of that. There's also the claim of a Track package for an undisclosed price. However, it doesn't look like LA is the last we'll see of the newest Shelby because the source also alleges that a top-rung GT350R is under development with bigger brakes, modified aerodynamics and sportier tires. This rubber-burner is reported to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Assuming these claims are correct, it puts the Shelby in fighting form against its two Chevrolet Camaro rivals. Ford reports that the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 pumps out over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. At $52,995, it would undercut by a couple of grand the $55,505 (before destination) base price of the 580-hp 2015 ZL1. The super 'Stang might also beat the 505-hp Z/28 with its power rating, while being vastly cheaper than the track-focused Camaro's $72,305 price. This could be quite the performance shoot-out.
