1957 Ford Retractable, Skyliner Fairlane 500, let me start out by saying that I bought this from the second owner a gentleman in north Alabama that bought the car in 1980, in 1979 the car was redone or restored, he drove the car for a few years and enjoyed it and then parked the car in a heated and cooled garage, and it stayed parked till about 6 months ago, he and his son uncovered the car and was planning on restoring the car till they done some homework and seen just what it would cost for a paint job and to get the car to show quality and then I bought the car. This is a factory 312 automatic blue and white skyliner convertible. The motor and transmission was told to me by the second owner to be original to the car, but their is no 100 percent way of telling with a 312 motor. The car is a factory p/s car, but no p/b. The car does come with a Continental Kit and Cruiser Skirts, but I am missing two pieces of the continental kit, the holder for the tire, and the flat pieces that actually covers the rim and tire, I have everything else, and the cruiser skirts are complete. As you can see in the pictures the car is missing a few pieces of trim, the father and son started to pull those pieces off to get the car ready of paint, and I am supposed to get those along with the missing continental pieces from them but they have yet to dig them out of their garage so I don't want to make any promises about those pieces but If I get them they will certainly go with the car to the next owner. However their are some trim pieces in the trunk of the car already, and it only appears to be missing the door handles and couple other trim pieces. The car other then that is complete, and all trim and bumpers that are still on the car appear to be in fantastic shape. The car will crank up and run and move under its own power, and their seems to be no issues with the drive train. The interior of the car is certainly useable, the seats and door panels appear to be in fantastic shape, however they did pull the carpet out and was going to replace it, so I do not have the carpet for the car. The body is straight and certainly wouldn't take much to get it ready for paint, their appears to be no rust issues with the car, if their is rust it is very very small or minimal, their is however one small crack in the passenger rear quarter panel right in the lip of the wheel well, and it appears to be a small stress crack from years of running the car with the cruiser skirts, other then that the car is just showing its age as far as paint issues, small rock and door edge chips, and some lacquer checking in a few places. Over all this is a great car, and certainly would make for a easy restoration project, and wouldn't take much to get to that show quality. I will say that one of the top motors just went out on me the other day, so the top was working, but will need one top motor rebuilt for sure. I do have the other wire wheel setup, its in the trunk of the car and makes for a full set, and I also have what appears to be a full gasket kit new for the car, the past owner went ahead and bought it for the car when he was planning on having the car painted. The car is for sale locally and is subject to be taken off Ebay if sold. The car is also sold as is with no warranty. A 25% deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end and the balance within 7 more when the car is to be picked up or arrangements are made for the car to be shipped. If you have any questions about the car please fill free to ask and I will gladly answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks and God Bless Kody 251-454-5455 |

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings
Mon, 29 Sep 2014While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
