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. |

Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA autocrossing because of rollover risk
Wed, Jan 14 2015Autocross can be a great way to break into motorsports, especially at SCCA events that allow run-of-the-mill, street-legal vehicles to be run through the cones in parking lots across the country. But while a wide array of vehicles are eligible, not every one is. And now the Ford Fiesta has been removed from the list of qualifying vehicles in the Sports Car Club of America's Street category for solo events. The removal of the Fiesta was publicized in the latest issue of the SCCA's Fastrack News bulletin, which stated that, due to roll-over risk, Fiestas "do not meet the requirements and are to be removed" from the HS category of eligible vehicles. H Stock (or HS for short) is the lowest category of vehicles certified by the SCCA for use in sanctioned events. The disqualification applies to Fiestas from the 2011 model year onwards, and does not apply to the Fiesta ST, which remains eligible. Of course the Fiesta isn't the only model deemed ineligible for SCCA autocross events. According to Jalopnik, other small hatchbacks and crossovers including the Dodge Caliber, Fiat 500, Scion xB and iQ, Nissan Juke and Mini Countryman are also prohibited from competition. We've reached out to both Ford and the SCCA for clarification on the issue, and will issue an update if and when we receive any substantial information.
Diesel details: Comparing Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, Chevy Silverado Duramax, Ford F-150 Powerstroke
Thu, Jun 13 2019With specifications for the 2019 Ford F-150 Power Stroke diesel already out, and the details on the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and Chevy Silverado Duramax (and its GMC Sierra twin) trickling out, we felt it was a good time to start comparing the full-size trucks' light-duty diesels. Bear in mind, we've only driven one of these new diesel trucks, so we'll be sticking to numbers for now. Some numbers haven't been announced yet, either, but stay tuned, because we'll be updating this post with additional specifications as they become available. And if you want to compare any other versions of these trucks with other vehicles, be sure to check out our comparison tool. Now let's start comparing, starting with our big chart of numbers below. As we can plainly see, these trucks are quite closely matched. Each one has six cylinders, a displacement of 3.0 liters and a turbocharger to boost it. The output of each is somewhat close, too. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is the torque king at 480 pound-feet, 20 more than the GM trucks and 40 more than the Ford. The GM trucks win on power, though, with 277 ponies, 17 more than the Ram, and 27 more than the Ford. GM does report that you get their trucks' peak 460 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 rpm to 3,000 rpm, whereas the others only report peak torque at a particular point in the rev band, but all of these trucks should have wide, flat torque curves as you would expect from modern turbodiesels. 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel View 8 Photos Engine output is only one part of the truck performance equation. We also have towing and payload capacity, as well as fuel economy. With towing, the Ram 1500 is the current leader with a maximum capacity of 12,560 pounds. That tops the Ford F-150's 11,400-pound tow rating by well over 1,000 pounds. The F-150 can carry 2,020 pounds in its bed, but we don't know yet whether that's better or worse than the Ram or the GM trucks. We also don't have numbers for the GM trucks' towing capacities. View 9 Photos As for fuel economy, the Ford F-150 manages a thoroughly impressive 22 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway with two-wheel drive. Choosing four-wheel drive drops those numbers to 20 and 25 respectively. The fuel economy numbers for the Ram, Chevy and GMC haven't been revealed yet, but for some comparison, we can look at the old Ram EcoDiesel. That truck's best fuel economy was 20 in the city and 27 on the highway with two-wheel drive.
It's Official: Ford Names Mark Fields Its Next CEO
Thu, May 1 2014Alan Mulally, the man who transformed Ford Motor Co. from a dysfunctional money-loser to a thriving company, will retire July 1 and be replaced by Mark Fields, the current chief operating officer. During his eight-year tenure at Ford, Mulally gambled all of the company's assets on a credit line that kept Ford out of bankruptcy, then used a simple "One Ford" plan to change the company's culture. He was hired away from aircraft maker Boeing Co. in 2006 by Bill Ford, who at the time was running the company. Fields, 53, has been in charge of Ford's daily operations since December of 2012 and was widely expected to one day ascend to the top job. The change in leadership is taking place about six months ahead of schedule, but Ford said that was based on Mulally's recommendation that the new leaders were ready. "Alan and I feel strongly that Mark and the entire leadership team are absolutely ready to lead Ford forward, and now is the time to begin the transition," Bill Ford said in a statement Thursday morning. Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman, is the great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford. Mulally, 68, was trained as an aeronautical engineer. He spent 36 years at Boeing - and was president of the company's commercial airplane division - when Bill Ford lured him to the struggling automaker eight years ago. Mulally overcame skepticism about being an outsider in the insular ranks of Detroit car guys by quickly pinpointing the reasons why Ford was losing billions each year. Mulally put a stop to the infighting that had paralyzed the company and instituted weekly management meetings where executives faced new levels of accountability and were encouraged to work together to solve problems. It took two years for Mulally to turn the company around, but since 2009, Ford has posted pretax profits of $34.5 billion and its shares have more than doubled. Fields was one of the executives passed over when Mulally got the top job in 2006. When he was named COO in 2012, Bill Ford said Fields' decision to stay at Ford and learn from Mulally showed a lot of fortitude and has made Fields a better leader. "There was a lot of speculation about whether he was capable. To his great credit, he stuck to it, he learned from it and showed tremendous fortitude in grinding through an incredibly difficult process," Bill Ford said. This marks the second change in leadership at the top of one of the Detroit automakers this year.
