1961 Ford Falcon 2 Door Station Wagon (like Sedan Delivery) on 2040-cars
Ada, Oklahoma, United States
I will try to describe this car best as I can. This is a very restorable vehicle.....The body is in good conditon...no major damage or rust. The only rust through I could see was two small holes on the hood, which IMO could be easily fixed with a MIG ......fenders, doors, quarters, tailgate good condition......I didn't crawl under car but there will be some floor work required but I dont think a total replacement.
Overall rust is not a major issue .. The rust you see in the photo is 99.9% surface rust. All the glass is in the car except the passenger vent window and all is in good condition.....Front seat is missing but I believe a two door Falcon coupe has same seat...rear seat is there...instrument panel good condition... All the trim is on the car, One trim piece. on the upper rear left quarter looks like somebody was bending it on purpose.....some dings in other trim but not bad and can be fixed..... Since it is stainless a professional could restore all pieces...one piece would take considerable work. the other only minor work.. Engine is a six banger, with a three on the tree tranny...believe it or not this car was a good running vehicle when parked about 40 years ago....hood has never been up since then so no water got on the engine...the oil is clean in the engine......I would almost bet that it would start with new points, plugs wires and carb rebuild...Remember it has been sitting in a fairly dry environment jn Oklahoma... I was going to haul this back to Florida but when I went to get it I had with me 14 inch tires and discovered that it has 13 inch four lug rims...that is why it is on blocks as I took three of the wheels off to get tires mounted.......i am almost sure the brake drums will be difficult to turn since it has been sitting for a long time and possible they will require replacement, I picked up a 57 Dodge same day I bought this and had to cut the brake drums off....Chances are the drums will have to be replaced anyway on the Falcon....\\ . Fortunately the dry Oklahoma weather didn't take it's toll on this collectible car and although the surface rust makes it look rough, it really is not....... Had it been down here in Florida with me it would be a rust bucket......whew.....It will require a little work to get the brake drums to turn and load this car on a trailer. Also the rear springs will need to be replaced as a couple of the leafs are broken. This I understand was a major problem on early Falcons because they are only 2 inches wide. I believe in 64 they put the 2.5 inch mustang type springs on Falcons....a good move on Ford's part......The car can be loaded and trailered but those springs will have to be replaced. I have found repo springs for about $100........... I will deliver this car to anywhere in just about the whole southeast for the cost of $1 a mile from it's current location. I will not deliver north of Oklahoma or west of Oklahoma...... Draw a line from Oklahoma City to Tallahassee FL and I will deliver anywhere close to that... otherwise it is LOCAL PICKUP only......Remember it will require some brake drum work....I have three 13 inch tires in the car but they need to be mounted. Best thing would be to bring four good four lug ford rims with tires and a trailer... Once again I will not arrange shipping other than where I have stated. It would be up to you to go get the car or arrange shipping. Since it will be hard to load take that into consideration BEFORE you bid......... The car is located in Ada, Oklahoma I do not have a title but can get one for an additional $250 over the selling price. It belonged to my uncle last and the Oklahoma DMV said it cost that much to get a duplicate title....... It will take a couple weeks to do that after the sale of the car...otherwise you will get a bill of sale and you can obtain your own title. Different states have different rules and cost for obtaining a title for non titled car...again take that into consideration BEFORE you bid.... This is a rare Falcon..I have not seen another one in a long time ...This wagon is five times as rare as a two door coupe and the least produced of all the Falcon lines.......two doors are very desireable ......I love the looks of the windows in ths car............. I can be reached at 850 377 8472 with any questions or send me an email.. I will accept pay pal for deposit and it is NON REFUNDABLE due with two days of sale...full price due within a week.....no exceptions..... I am honest you be honest with me....... |

Trucks, SUVs drive U.S. October new vehicle sales
Wed, Nov 1 2017DETROIT — Major automakers posted mixed U.S. new vehicle sales in October on Wednesday, though America's love affair with high-margin pickup trucks and SUVs remained in full bloom as larger, pricier vehicles fared better than passenger cars. Auto industry publication WardsAuto put the seasonally-adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) for light vehicle sales in October at a robust level of 18 million units. But after a long boom cycle, carmakers are still ill-prepared for the slight decline in sales anticipated for full-year 2017 and have taken too few steps to trim production, said Doug Mehl, a partner in consultancy A.T. Kearney's automotive practice. "When you make a new vehicle, you have volume assumptions tagged to it, and who wants to be the guy who says, 'I'm going to make less of this really cool model'?" Mehl said. "But eventually the market is the reality, and it's going to force companies one way or other here." General Motors GM reported a sales drop of 2.2 percent for the month, with consumer sales down 6.6 percent. But sales of high-margin pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and crossovers all rose. GM also cut its inventory of unsold vehicles — a source of concern for the market — slightly. The automaker has worked to reduce its volume of excess inventory, including through significant production shutdowns in the third quarter. GM had said its inventory would rise in October. "We are heading into the fourth quarter with good momentum, thanks to a strong U.S. economy and very strong pickup and crossover sales," said Kurt McNeil, GM vice president for U.S. sales operations. GM slightly reduced consumer discounts as a percentage of average transaction prices to 13.5 percent, from 13.7 percent in the third quarter. Industry experts believe consumer discounts above 10 percent of the average transaction price are unhealthy as they erode resale values and are unsustainable in the long term. Consultants J.D. Power and LMC said last week that based on preliminary October sales numbers, discounts have exceeded 10 percent in 15 of the past 16 months. Ford The U.S. auto industry posted record sales of 17.55 million vehicles in 2016. New sales received a strong boost in September as consumers replaced vehicles damaged in southeast Texas by Hurricane Harvey the previous month. Full-year 2017 sales are expected to be slightly lower than 2016.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Updated Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator caught in new spy photos
Mon, Oct 26 2020Face-lifted Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator prototypes were spotted in the wild Monday wearing fairly extensive camouflage disguising updated bodywork for the 2022 model year. Ford's two body-on-frame offerings (BOFferings? Nope. Pretend that didn't happen.) are both due for a nip and tuck, and with GM's fresh slate of full-sizers now available, the timing couldn't be more perfect. There's not much we can discern from this Navigator prototype. The camo does a good job of masking whatever Lincoln has in store for the nose, but the tailgate has some discernible updates, including a significantly more pronounced recess for the license plate that also appears to be mounted higher on the hatch. This would likely indicate that the rear lighting scheme is getting an overhaul, as there doesn't appear to be enough room between the lower edge of the glass and the plate for the current scheme to be preserved. The Expedition, on the other hand, has quite a bit going on. For starters, this prototype is not sporting the chrome-and-polish look we've come to associate with these often-blingy SUVs. Instead, we see a set of Goodyear Wrangler all-terrains on what appear to be 18" wheels, which are positively dwarfed by the turbine-style wheels on the Lincolns. Leaning even harder into the off-road theme, this prototype is not wearing the scalloped front air dam seen on other Expeditions. While it may have been removed for testing purposes, its absence (or replacement) would certainly do wonders for the big SUV's approach angle. Elsewhere, we can see what appear to be a new set of tail lights, and it would be safe to assume based on the camo that we'll see new front and rear bumper treatments. We can also see a bit of the Expedition's interior, and there are quite a few things to note on this front. For starters, the prominent, vertically oriented infotainment screen takes after the Mustang Mach-E's unit. This is significant not only on spec, but also because it signals that the Expedition's interior will be departing more significantly from that of the F-150. Related Video:
