1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Convertible -- Z code 390 390 cruisomatic, P/S P/B Factory vintage burgundy with a tan/beige interior. The data plate numbers show that this is the original color combination. (76B – X - 84A - 24A – 74 – 1 – 4) Quite stunning actually. You see a lot of burgundy Galaxies with a black or white interior, but rarely tan. It simulates natural leather beautifully. This is an original Galaxie XL with the bucket seat interior and not some bench seat version with an interior cobbled from a hardtop. I purchased this car in 1987. When I first got it, it was a good running car that just needed some minor mechanical work and cosmetics. It has its original Z code 390 engine and transmission. Back then I repainted it, chromed the bumpers replaced the top and did some upholstery work. I drove it to shows and in parades, and then I parked it inside for 22 years. (It is amazing how fast the years go by) Now my life has changed and I should pass it along for someone else to enjoy. It was a nice straight, original, totally rust free car before I painted it. It is still shiny but sitting under a cover in the garage it has developed some chips, scratches and a ding in the fender where something fell on it. The bumpers have some defects popping through the old re-chrome but they still look nice. The seats were reupholstered in the correct pattern at some point before I got it and remain soft and comfortable. The door panels are original and have some fading and cracking. The carpet is very dirty and stained, but is not torn. The original padded dash is wonderful! It remains soft and without cracks. The top was replaced 20 years ago. It was covered for storage and has held up very well. It retains the correct glass rear window.
I recently pulled it from storage, changed the oil and fired it up. It started easily and now runs well. The power brake booster and master cylinder were bad so I put a new master and booster on it last week. It drives well but before driving it any distance I would recommend new belts, hoses and all those little maintenance things that go bad from sitting. The bias ply tires were new 27 years ago and have accumulated maybe 500 miles. The odometer shows 66,000 miles. It is tight and rattle free, but who knows how accurate that number might be. This is an honest car that remains in the condition that these cars were found and restored to 20+ years ago. It would be a fun car to enjoy as is or would be an excellent car to re-restore to modern standards. I have listed it with a realistic reserve that is on par with what people want for cobbled together Galaxie 500 hardtops.

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
Ford Explorer is America's new favorite police car
Mon, 24 Mar 2014There is a new vehicle that you should keep an eye out for when you're going a little too fast down the Interstate. Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility was the bestselling new law enforcement model in the country last year, and signs show that won't be changing anytime soon.
Ford sold 14,086 Interceptor Utilities in 2013, up 140% from the year before, and 10,897 Interceptor Sedans, up 31%, according to USA Today. Overall, the brand's police sales were up 48 percent, and they were enough to boost the company's law enforcement vehicle market share by 9 points to nearly 50 percent.
The success comes just a few years after it made the decision to finally retire the long-serving Crown Victoria-based cruiser for two more modern vehicles. "We had to reinvent the category," said Chris Terry of Ford Communications to Autoblog. The automaker had to convince police departments that a unibody chassis without a V8 could perform better than a model that had been a law enforcement staple for years.
Ford expands air bag recall nationwide
Thu, Dec 18 2014Ford Motor Co. has agreed to government demands to expand a driver's side air bag inflator recall to the entire U.S. The move announced Thursday adds 447,000 Ford vehicles to the list of those recalled due to driver's inflators made by Japan's Takata Corp. The inflators can explode with too much force, spewing shrapnel into drivers and passengers. Ford's action puts pressure on BMW and Chrysler, the only two automakers that haven't agreed to national recalls. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration made the demand of five automakers, saying the inflators are dangerous. Honda and Mazda already took their recalls national. Previously the recalls were limited to high-humidity states mainly along the Gulf Coast. The Ford national recall covers certain 2005 to 2008 Mustangs and 2005 and 2006 GT sports cars. The company also announced it would recall the same cars in Canada, Mexico and a few other countries. Thursday's announcement brings to just over 502,000 the number of Ford vehicles under recall for Takata driver's side air bags. The company said it knows of one accident and injury from the problems, in a 2007 Mustang in North Carolina. Dealers will replace the inflators at no cost to customers. Last month, NHTSA demanded that Takata and the five automakers recall driver's inflators across the nation.Takata and Chrysler have refused and could face legal action. BMW says it's still evaluating the demand. Takata hired the New York public relations firm Sard Verbinnen & Co. and took out full-page advertisements Thursday in newspapers including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and three German publications. The ads, featuring a letter from Chairman and CEO Shigehisa Takata, said the company will work with NHTSA and automakers to expand the recalls by increasing production capacity for replacement air bags. The company said it's exploring whether other companies' air bags can be used in replacement kits, and it's increasing testing to find the exact cause of the problems. "Takata will work in unison with automakers to advance our common goal of putting the safety of customers first," the letter said. But in documents filed with NHTSA, Takata refused to do a national recall, saying it's not supported by testing data. The company also said NHTSA didn't have the authority to order a parts supplier to do a recall, and that only automakers can conduct them.
