Here we have a Very Beautiful 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 that is up for sale. The car has the 390ci engine and tranny which were both the originals sold with the car in 1964. There are a few performance upgrades to the engine, including Edelbrock carb and valve covers, Mallory ignition, and a comp cam with the paperwork that I have pictured. This Gal also has a Ford 9in. rear end and American racing 5 soke rims. The Gal sits very nice and the whole undercarriage is clean. The car is equipped with the factory A/C and red leather interior that has 2 very minor holes in it. The headliner is near mint except for very tiny tear. The paint job is original so it is dull but gives this car a very good look especially with the fiberglass teardrop hood and fenders. There arent many cars that have the body lines like this one does. The hood and fenders truly complete the look. The front end was backed into damaging the bumper and grille but. The radiator and fan arent in the car because the original 4 core was being repaired and not put back in. I have the original hood, right fender, and radiator that are available for the Gal. The engine runs great and sounds SICK! It has such a low growl, it is one of the best sounding cars that I have ever heard. This 390 with the minor upgrades and comp cam make this Gal move. All this car needs is a little TLC and a fresh coat of paint. This car doesn't leak, drip, or knock. This is a truly great car and if painted will be one of the meanest looking cars on the road! This car comes with the original title from North Carolina, the original owners manual from 1964, the comp cam paperwork, and current registration. I am selling thiscar as is as seen simply because I need to. Please ask any questions. Thank you and good luck bidding

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
Car Stories: Owning the SHO station wagon that could've been
Fri, Oct 30 2015A little over a year ago, I bought what could be the most interesting car I will ever own. It was a 1987 Mercury Sable LS station wagon. Don't worry – there's much more to this story. I've always had a soft spot for wagons, and I still remember just how revolutionary the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable were back in the mid-1980s. As a teenager, I fell especially hard for the 220-horsepower 1989 Ford Taurus SHO – so much so that I'd go on to own a dozen over the next 20 years. And like many other quirky enthusiasts, I always wondered what a SHO station wagon would be like. That changed last year when I bought the aforementioned Sable LS wagon, festooned with the high-revving DOHC 3.0-liter V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission from a 1989 Taurus SHO. In addition, the wagon had SHO front seats, a SHO center console, and the 140-mph instrument cluster with mileage that matched the engine. When I bought it, that number was just under 60,000 – barely broken in for the overachieving Yamaha-sourced mill. The engine and transmission weren't the only upgrades. It wore dual-piston PBR brakes with the choice Eibach/Tokico suspension combo in front. The rear featured SHO disc brakes with MOOG cargo coils and Tokico shocks, resulting in a wagon that handled ridiculously well while still retaining a decent level of comfort and five-door functionality. I could attack the local switchbacks while rowing gears to a 7,000-rpm soundtrack just as easily as loading up on lumber at the hardware store. Over time I added a front tower brace to stiffen things a bit as well as a bigger, 73-mm mass airflow sensor for better breathing, and I sourced some inexpensive 2004 Taurus 16-inch five-spoke wheels, refinished in gunmetal to match the two-tone white/gunmetal finish on the car. That, along with some minor paint and body work, had me winning trophies at every car show in town. And yet, what I loved most about the car wasn't its looks or performance, but rather its history. And here's where things also get a little philosophical, because I absolutely, positively love old used cars. Don't get me wrong – new cars are great. Designers can sculpt a timeless automotive shape, and engineers can construct systems and subsystems to create an exquisite chassis with superb handling and plenty of horsepower. But it's the age and mileage that turn machines into something more than the sum of their parts.
