Classic And Clean 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 - Low Miles! on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
|
Meet Gracie, my 1958 Ford Fairlane 500. Have to sell-moving to house with no garage or room to store. :( 4 door sedan - all original. Almost "Survivor" but had some body work done. Had the rust cut out, replaced with metal, and had the white repainted. Otherwise, she's all original! The 35,555 original miles on original 332 motor. I bought from the mechanic of the original owners who all lived in a small town in Nebraska. 3 speed automatic tranny. The seats have been completely covered in the original vinyl covers all these years until recently, so the fibers in the seat are vibrant and in perfect shape. I still have the form fitted vinyl seat covers but they aren't in the best shape. Glass has no cracks. Mirrors have darkened slightly around edges. Tires have a fair amount of tread. Rear tires are somewhat "dry."Heater works good. Has "air vents" and wing windows. All windows don't go down all the way. But function fine within a comfortable and useable range. Tube Radio is AM only. Headliner is in tact except for a small rip just above the rear seat on the pillar. The rest of the headliner is complete but at one point must have gotten wet because there's some water stains. Seatbelts are obviously not original. Carpet is in good shape in the rear and front passenger's side but faded. Under the driver's feet it's pretty torn up but covers well with floor mats. All electronics work. The temperature gauge is not functioning at the time. Motor is solid! As stated, these are original miles and appears to have been stored most of her years. There is a very minor oil leak, not significant. Exhaust is clear. I just had the brakes redone. Transmission does not slip. Paint is still glossy. The black shows the patina. Has a few nicks on the black, as it is original, but super shape overall considering the age. You can still see your reflection on the black. Exhaust system is good. Floor pans are solid. No obvious rust, but upon close observation you can find some surface rust in the hidden corners. Gracie turns heads and gathers crowds at car shows. Comes with small die-cast model of the '58 Fairlane, original Owners Manual, original floor mats (?) and memorabilia. Feel free to text with questions (402) 313-8325. This description is as transparent as can be. Thank you for shopping. |

The history and future of the Ford Bronco
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
All the details on Plug In 2014 electric vehicle conference you could ever want
Wed, Aug 6 2014One of the best parts of the Plug In 2014 Conference in San Jose, CA last week was getting to listen in on thoughts about the state of the plug-in vehicle industry from people who have been involved with it for ages. They bristle when you call them the "Old Guard" (learned that one the hard way), but these are the people who have been through a number of ups and downs with plug-in vehicles, so they've got what we call perspective. Their knowledge was on full display in the three plenary sessions, which the Plug In Conference organizers have given us permission to share with you. Each is at least 90 minutes long, so make sure to set some time aside to enjoy the discussions after you download them (any help with making them streamable would be appreciated). Follow us below to see what we've got to offer. Opening Plenary (audio link). "The Road Ahead – Delivering on a Vision for Sustainable Transportation." Moderated by Mark Duvall (director of energy utilization at EPRI, the Electric Power Research Institute, and a long-time EV advocate), this panel featured: Jack Broadbent, Executive Officer / APCO, Bay Area Air Quality Management District Pat Romano, President & Chief Executive Officer, ChargePoint, Inc. Aaron Johnson, Senior Director, Customer Programs, Pacific Gas and Electric Company Brendan Jones, Director, EV Sales Operations & Infrastructure Deployment, Nissan North America, Inc. David W. Cash, Commissioner, MassDEP Dan Sperling, Director, Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Davis Highlights: Educating drivers to "get over the gas station" is a key strategy, how Level 2 and DC Fast Charging are really "a new paradigm," that there have been well over 214,000 EVs sold in US as of July 2014 and where Nissan sees huge potential for more EV sales (Northeast US and medium-size cities like St. Louis and Pittsburgh). Wednesday Morning Plenary (audio link). "Getting to the Mass Market – A Discussion of Ideas for Widespread PEV Adoption." Moderated by John Gartner, research director for smart transportation at Navigant Research.
