1965 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. White, 123,000 miles, V-8, 289 c.i.d., Autolite 2100 carburetor, 3-speed manual transmission on the column, power steering, manual brakes, no A/C, working AM radio. All gauges and lights are functional. The clock does not work. This Ford is a nice driving car, it shifts well and tracks straight. You can drive it home. This is not a show car, but it is very presentable. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate it a strong 7. The car was repainted by previous owner. There are a few small bubbles near the bottom of the passenger side door. Floor pans are in good shape. There are two small holes in the left rear floor pan, about a nickel in size. All the exterior trim is present, but it is not perfect. Both bumpers are very nice. The convertible top is serviceable, but has some holes and should be replaced if you intend to drive in the rain. The original tonneau cover and foam pads are included. The cover is missing a few snaps, but is usable and does not flap at speed. I installed two new hydraulic cylinders (three years ago) and the power top functions very well. There is a tiny (1/4”) crack in the windshield that has not changed in size in the last 8 years. The interior is complete and presentable, although I think the front seats came from another car. The color is not a perfect match and the circular chrome pieces along the stitch lines are not present. The carpet is usable, although loose around the edges. The sun visors are worn. The dash pad shows the usual curling of the edges. The interior trim is in good shape. The chrome trim along the inside of the windshield is pitted. The driver’s seat bottom has some rips that I hide with a seat cushion. The spare tire and jack are present. If I completely fill the gas tank it will leak a little. I haven’t investigated the source of the leak. If you want them, I can include two good, rust-free front doors for an additional $100.00. The wheels (American Racing Wheels) and tires (BF Goodrich radials) are about 2 years old. If you are close enough, I welcome you to come drive this car. |

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.
Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
