RARE 1957 FORD SKYLINER WITH ONLY 64,000 DOUCUMENTED MILES! THIS CAR IS A MILESTONE CAR AND EVERYTHING WORKS.

IT WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 1957 BY A GERMAN IMMIGRANT WHO WORKED IN A MACHINE SHOP IN WISCONSIN. HE NEVER OWNED A CAR BUT WAS FASCINATED BY THE MECHANICS OF THE WORLD'S FIRST HARDTOP COVERTABLE. THE DAY HE RETIRED HE WENT DOWN TO THE FORD DEALER AND PAID CASH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR HAD CLEAR VINYL SEAT COVERS INSTALLED AND DROVE IT TO FLORIDA WHERE IT HAS REMAINED FOR THE LAST 56 YEARS! I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 1979 AND THE ONLY REASON I HAD IT PAINTED WAS THE OLD MAN HAD WAXED IT SO MUCH THE PRIMER WAS SHOWING THROUGH. I HAD IT PAINTED THE ORIGINAL TWO/TONE DRESEN BLUE & COLONIAL WHITE I ALSO HAD THE REAR BUMPER RECROMED. THE CLEAR SEAT COVERS WERE SO YELLOWED I HAD THEM REMOVED AND SHOWED THE CAR DURING THE 1980'S AND WON SEVERAL CAR SHOWS. THIS CAR HAS NO RUST AND HAS NEVER SEEN SNOW!

IN 1994 AFTER MY WIFE'S UNTIMELY DEATH THE CAR WAS PUT IN DRY STORAGE UP ON BLOCKS WHERE IT REMAINED FOR 16 YEARS. IN 2012 IT WAS REMOVED FROM STORAGE AND THE BRAKES WERE DONE WITH NEW HOSES AND REBUILT WHEEL CYLINDERS A BRAND NEW HOLLY 4 BARREL CARBURATOR WAS INSTALLED ALONE WITH A NEW RADIATOR. THE DUAL EXHAUSTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW MUFFLERS AND ALUMINIZED CUSTOM PIPES. THE FRONT SEAT BOTTOM HAD SOME RIPS AND THE FOAM WAS STARTING TO DISINDEGRATE WITH AGE. I COULD NOT FIND ORIGINAL MATERIAL SO THE BOTTOM FRONT SEAT WAS REBUILT AND COVERED WITH BLUE VINYL FOR COMFORT AND SAFETY.

INCLUDED WITH THE CAR IS A BRAND NEW PAIR OF FOXCRAFT CRUSIER SKIRTS THAT I HAD PAINTED WITH THE CAR IN 1979 BUT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN INSTALLED!

JUST ADDED A PICTURE OF THE ORIGINAL BILL OF SALE, HE BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER 1957 AND THEY DISCOUNTED $1,400 DOLLARS BECAUSE IT WAS THE END OF THE MODEL YEAR AND HE PAID CASH!

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.

How the 2015 Ford Mustang will save your knees

Sat, 21 Jun 2014

The 2015 Mustang is one of the most hotly anticipated vehicles of the moment, and Ford continues to leak out interesting little details about its newest pony car. The latest info doesn't have anything to do with its quarter-mile time or handling, but if any of that goes drastically wrong, the innovative new glovebox-mounted airbag may prevent passengers from knee injuries.
All variants of the 2015 Mustang get the active knee airbag as standard, and it's the first vehicle in Ford's lineup to receive the system. The setup is actually quite simple and ingenious. The glovebox is made from a plastic outer panel that is attached to the inner door. Sandwiched between them is this new injection-molded plastic bladder that folds flat when in use. If the passenger-side airbag deploys, the system springs into action to act as a cushion for your knees. Compared to a traditional knee airbag that has to fully inflate, this arrangement is 65 percent lighter and can use a 75 percent smaller inflator. It's also basically invisible when you look at the glovebox door.
Ford spokesperson Ed Saenz declined to tell Autoblog whether the system will appear in other vehicles in the Blue Oval's lineup but said, "We're considering other applications." Provided it's effective, the approach seems too simple not to make its way to other products. Scroll down to watch a video showing how the glovebox-mounted knee airbag works.
