For sale is a 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Skyliner. It is one of the rare retractable hardtops. This car comes well equipped with options including 352 300 HP engine, Cruise-o-matic transmission, factory air conditioning, dual spotlights, power steering, power brakes and electric wipers. It also has the desirable two tone colors of geranium and colonial white. Overall on a 1 to 5 scale, I feel it is a condition 3, which is presentable for local parades and cruise-ins but not a show car. I will detail an accurate description as follows. First of all, the engine starts and runs well with no odd noises or smoke. We are not sure of the actual mileage. The Cruise-o-matic transmission is rebuilt and performs well. The differential has no problems or issues. The car has had one repaint long ago with the color scheme done in reverse of original as shown on the original data plate. The paint has good shine but has nicks, scratches and waves. There is evidence of filler along some lower parts of the body. It appears there is small spotty rust in the outer rockers, lower door corners and lower rear quarters and wheel lips. The floors are not rusty and have original paint showing under the carpet. The trunk is mostly solid with only the outer rear corners being somewhat thin. The inner rockers and floor supports are solid, and the frame has no damage or rust. I see no evidence of any body or frame damage due to an accident. The rear bumper has been rechromed, and the front is nice original. All other stainless and chrome trim looks to be good original with some dings and scratches. The windshield has small wiper scratches on the driver's side, and there are cracks in the passenger door glass. All the windows roll up and down. All weather stripping is original and worn with a few pieces missing. The interior has been redone some years ago in original style and with similar to original materials. It has some spotty wear. Operationally the car is good with the retractable top working fine. The exterior lights and turn signals work, as well as the wipers, horn, speedometer, odometer, oil light, amp light and dash lights. The fuel gauge, radio, heater fan, clock, left door lock and domelight do not work. The air conditioner is missing some refrigerant lines and does not work, but all the main components are there. The right hand spotlight is damaged and missing some parts. Also the rear Fairlane emblem, luggage tub and jack are missing. Some recently repaired items are the transmission and radiator. Recently replaced items are brakes, battery, starter solenoid, starter drive, mufflers, drive belts and thermostat. Overall it is a mostly complete, good driving car with a desirable color combination and good options which can be enjoyed as is or as an excellent candidate for restoration. Some miscellaneous spare spotlight and continental kit parts are included. Thanks for looking. You can call Steve at 812-449-7184. On Oct-14-13 at 12:51:38 PDT, seller added the following information: The NADA Classic Car Price Guide lists the value of this car in this condition with a low retail price amount of $20,625. Hagerty Insurance also shows this car in this condition as having a value of $25,000. My reserve has been lowered to $19,000. |

Guess which brand's not on a top 10 list of best EVs (hint: it's Tesla)
Thu, Jun 22 2023Few surprises lurk in Autotrader’s list of its 10 best electric vehicles of 2023, but there is one that stands out: no Teslas. There's Hyundais and Kias, Porsches and Fords, a BMW and a Nissan. But Â… no Teslas. Although many of us admit to being over-Musked and tired of reading about him, the lack of a Tesla model on a selection of the 10 most desirable current EVs is conspicuous by its absence. Asked about this particular omission, we received this rather vague response from Autotrader spokesperson Brenna Buehler at Cox Automotive: “Tesla models were included in consideration but didnÂ’t get sufficiently high scores by the Editorial team to qualify for the top 10.” At least some Tesla offerings appeared to meet all the requirements set by the website. The manufacturers must offer 2023 model year vehicles, and they have to be sold in at least 15 states. Check. Only pure EVs were allowed on the list; there are no hybrids, plug-in hybrids or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Check. The base manufacturer's suggested retail price must be less than $100,000. Check. Let the debates begin. Moving on, it should be noted that two Genesis models, a G80 sedan and GV 60 SUV, are listed, along with a Lucid Air midsize sedan, the Rivian R1T pickup, and the Porsche Taycan. Here is the full list, with the remarks and comments from Autotrader's raters. (And we've included links to Autoblog's own reviews for a deeper dive). The EVs are listed in alphabetical order by brand, so don't read anything into the order of presentation: 2023 BMW i4 BMW reboots its EV approach and comes up with a winner: Whatever you thought of BMW's first run at EV, the i3, it was missing a certain something – it didn't look or perform like a BMW. The 2023 BMW i4 corrects course with a Gran Coupe that our editors agree looks and drives like a BMW. 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Ford's electric pickup gathers steam in its second year: The F-150 Lightning somehow synthesized decades of pickup truck knowledge with the latest and greatest EV technology and infused thoughtful details and user-friendly features. 2023 Genesis Electrified G80South Korea's luxury brand shows how to elevate the executive EV sedan without breaking the bank: Genesis, Hyundai's luxury offshoot, rethought the gasoline-powered luxury sedan, the G80, and developed the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80. Precisely as the name hints, the Electrified G80 replaces the G80's engine with an all-wheel-drive EV powertrain.
Ford names Lincoln chief as North American president following Nair's departure
Thu, Feb 22 2018Ford announced yesterday that its North American president Raj Nair would no longer be working for the company due to "inappropriate behavior." As a result, the company needed fill that gaping vacancy. The new North American president and Ford Group vice president will be Kumar Galhotra, and his term in the new role will start on March 1. Galhotra will remain the group vice president and chief marketing officer for Lincoln through March, meaning he's the head of the luxury brand. He's had this position since 2014. Before that, he was vice president of engineering for all of Ford. With Galhotra's promotion, a number of internal promotions follow. Joy Falotico, current chairman, CEO and group vice president of Ford's credit division will fill Galhotra's position, and Dave McClelland, vice president of marketing for Ford Asia Pacific, will fill her role. Other shuffling at Ford includes Stewart Rawley's promotion to vice president for Ford North America and chief operating officer. He is the current vice president for strategy at Ford. Ford China's chairman and CEO John Lawler will take Rawley's old role, and Cathy O'Callaghan will take over Lawler's job at Ford China, but not until June 1. O'Callaghan is currently vice president, corporate controller and chief financial officer for global markets at Ford. Related Video:
Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang - the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.
That might not be correct. According to Road & Track, citing a report from Mustangs Daily, the new range-topping Mustang will bring back the Shelby GT350 name - currently used on an aftermarket version of Ford's Pony produced by Shelby American (take a look at our recent Quick Spin of that car). Expect the new GT350 to be quite a bit different than the current GT500 - it will be all motor, using a V8 that's derived from the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engine (though it will no doubt have a higher displacement). The GT350 will be a lot more powerful than the next Mustang GT, which is expected to offer something like 450 horsepower, but won't be quite as absurd as the 662-horsepower GT500 we currently enjoy.
The Shelby GT350 will reportedly bow with the rest of the new Mustang range at the 2014 New York Auto Show, which coincides exactly with the original Mustang's debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. If that seems far out, don't worry, we'll be seeing the rest of the 2015 Mustang range before then, but Road & Track reports that the 2014 Detroit Auto Show stage will be reserved for the reveal of the next Ford F-150 pickup.
