 UP FOR BID IS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 1959 FORD GALAXIE RETRACTABLE HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE.  I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM ANOTHER CAR COLLECTOR FROM NEW ENGLAND AT ONE OF THE LAST KRUSE AUCTIONS HELD AT THE VERONA NY CASINO ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO. 

THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  IT HAS OF COURSE THE WORKING RETRACTABLE HARDTOP IN PERFECT CONDITION.  IT GOES UP AND DOWN WITH A TOUCH OF A BUTTON UNDER THE DASH AND IT ALWAYS DRAWS A CROWD.  THE CAR IS FULLY EQUIPPED AND HAS POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, POWER WINDOWS, POWER SEAT, AND AFTER MARKET MODERN AM/FM STEREO RADIO.  (I HAVE THE ORIGINAL RADIO).  THE CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC SEAT COVERS IT CAME WITH AND FEATURES A TRI-COLOR RED BLACK AND WHITE UPHOLSTERY.  THE CARPETS ARE BLACK AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  ALL THE UPHOLSTERY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER WORK.  THE ODOMETER HAS LESS THAN 37000 ON IT.  I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE REAL MILEAGE IS, HOWEVER THIS CAR HAS BEEN GENTLY USED. 

ALL THE POWER WINDOWS WORK WELL AS WELL AS THE POWER SEAT.  THE CARS STARTS, STOPS, AND DRIVES EXTREMELY WELL.  IT WILL CRUISE AT 65 ALL DAY LONG.  I JUST TOOK A TRIP ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY FROM ROCHESTER NY TO SYRACUSE NY AND IT CRUISED AT 65MPH AND KEPT UP WITH TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.

THE PAINT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SHINES BEAUTIFULLY.  THE CAR MAY HAVE BEEN REPAINTED IN THE FACTORY COLOR, HOWEVER IT WAS DONE BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETECT ANY OVERSPRAY IN THE DOORS OR TRUNK AREA OR UNDER THE HOOD.  THE CHROME IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SHINES LIKE IT JUST LEFT THE FACTORY.  NEW CARS HAVE VIRTUALLY NO CHROME AND THIS CAR HAS LOTS OF IT.  IT IS ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  THE GLASS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND  THE CAR FEATURES A TINTED FRONT WINDSHIELD. 

THE CAR CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH AIR CONDITIONING AND IT WORKS FINE.  IT WAS MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH, AND IT HAS A CHROME EMBLEM ON THE PASSENGER DOOR STATING THE CAR IS FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH SELECT-AIRE AIR CONDITIONING.  AGAIN IT WORKS FINE.

AFTER I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THE OLD MECHANIC WENT THROUGH THE CAR FROM STEM TO STERN AND CORRECTED ALL MINOR DEFECTS IT HAD.  THE CAR HAS 2 FACTORY SPOTLIGHTS AND THEY NOW LIGHT JUST LIKE WHEN THEY LEFT THE FACTORY.  THE CONTINENTAL KIT IS FACTORY INSTALLED AS WELL.  IT HAS THE SPARE TIRE.  THERE IS NO RUST ON THIS VEHICLE AND I THINK THE ORIGINAL RUST PROOFING IS STILL ON THE CAR.  THE CAR HAD ORIGINAL BIAS BELTED TIRES THAT WERE IN TERRIBLE SHAPE.  I HAD 4 NEW FIRESTONE WHITE WALL 380'S  INSTALLED ON THE CAR.  THE RADIAL TIRES WORK FINE WITH THIS SUSPENSION AND IT HELPS THE CAR STOP WELL AND IT TRACKS JUST FINE.  SOME PEOPLE THINK THE CAR NEEDS WIDER WHITE WALLS AND A NEW OWNER COULD MAKE THAT CHANGE.

I WAS TOLD THE CAR CAME FROM ALABAMA BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE.  THE MAN I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM DID NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION WITH THE CAR.  HOWEVER, IT RUNS GREAT AND PERFORMS VERY WELL.  IT DRIVES STRAIGHT AND TRUE AND IS FREE FROM STRANGE NOISES OR CREAKS ETC.

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND A 332 CUBIC INCH ENGINE WITH A 2 BARREL CARB.  THE ENGINE STARTS RIGHT UP, PURRS LIKE A KITTEN, SUPPLIES PLENTY OF POWER AND NEEDS NOTHING.  I HAD ALL FLUIDS CHANGED THE YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR AND EVERYTHING MECHANICAL IS IN EXCELLENT OPERATING CONDITION.  THE ENGINE OIL WAS CHANGED THIS SEASON.  THE UNDER HOOD AREA IS DETAILED TO A HIGH DEGREE AND LOOKS GOOD.

I SUBSCRIBE TO ALL THE OLD CAR PUBLICATIONS AND THE PRICE GUIDES AND AUCTION RESULT GUIDES.  1959 IS THE MOST POPULAR YEAR FOR THE RETRACTABLES AND RED IS THE BEST COLOR FOR ANY COLLECTIBLE CAR.  VEHICLES LIKE THIS HAVE SOLD FOR AS MUCH AS $69,000 IN RECENT AUCTIONS.  YES, YOU CAN BUY A RETRACTABLE FOR MUCH LESS THAN MY BUY- IT-NOW PRICE.  REMEMBER, MANY OF THESE CARS WERE RUST BUCKETS AND ALL THE BODY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE.  ONE CAN BUY NEW FLOOR PANS. OTHER SHEET METAL,  THE LUGGAGE BUCKET FOR THE BACK, AND MUCH OF THE OTHER PARTS.  THIS CAR IS ORIGINAL AS ANY 55 YEAR OLD CAR CAN BE AND HAS NO RUST.

PLEASE CALL ME AT 585-259-3958 WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CAR.  I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER CARS FROM MY COLLECTION CURRENTLY ON EBAY.

THE CAR IS GARAGED IN FAIRPORT NY WHICH IS A SUBURB OF ROCHESTER NY.

TRANSPORTATION TO THE BUYER'S HOME IS COMPLETELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER.  I WILL COOPERATE WITH THE SHIPPER YOU CHOOSE.

THE VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO GUARANTEE.  HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS IN TIP-TOP SHAPE AND THE NEW OWNER WILL NOT HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON RECONDITIONING.

YOU CAN FIND LESS COSTLY RETRACTABLE HARDTOPS, BUT NOW AS NICE AND AS SHARP AS THIS ONE.

THANKS VINCE.

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?

Sat, 28 Sep 2013

Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.

Hot-selling Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator get production boost

Mon, Feb 12 2018

Ford is investing an additional $25 million in its Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville to increase by 25 percent production of the hot-selling and all-new Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition SUVs. The investment adds to $900 million in previously announced spending at the plant, which also builds F-Series Super-Duty pickups and employs 8,400 workers. Assembly-line workers are putting in overtime and working voluntary weekend shifts to keep up with demand. The new investment will cover upgrades to the assembly line but does not involve further hiring, Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker says. The popularity of the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator is a bright spot as Ford stock has been battered by Wall Street amid concerns concerns about the automaker's future vision and slowness to detect trends. Ford says the investment is an example of its bid to improve "operational fitness," one of CEO Jim Hackett's common refrains. Ford says Navigator retail sales more than doubled in January, and Navigators are spending an average of just seven days on Lincoln dealership lots as customers trade in vehicles including Land Rovers and Mercedes-Benz. Nearly 85 percent of buyers are opting for high-end Black Label and Reserve trim packages, contributing to an average transaction price increase of more than $21,000 in January compared to a year ago. The 2018 Navigator won the North American Truck of the Year award and also topped a Detroit News poll of public favorites at last month's Detroit Auto Show. Sales of the Expedition, meanwhile, were up almost 57 percent last month as the full-size SUVs also spent an average of just a week on dealer lots. Platinum trim models represented 29 percent of sales, pushing transaction price increases up $7,800. Ford gave the 2018 Expedition an all-aluminum body to save mass in its first significant redesign since 2007. The plant last year got nearly 400 new robots, mainly in the body shop, to help increase line speed, and Ford added a robot lab where employees can test software tweaks or troubleshoot issues away from the factory floor. The Louisville plant also benefits from extensive new data analytics, with seven big-screen monitors providing minute-by-minute updates showing progress against hourly targets or alerting workers to pending parts shortages. A huge spare-parts "vending machine" lets workers more quickly locate needed parts and keep inventory at necessary levels.
