Today I am putting up for auction my 1955 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan. This Fairlane has a tremendously solid frame, with absolutely no rot and you would be very hard pressed to even find a tiny spot of scaley rust. The body is equally as solid, no rot or rust. Straight lines and a new paint job (completed 2007) with bold color give our Fairlane a sharp and clean look!The 272 cubic inch V8 was totally over hauled in 2007 from the bottom up. Step on the gas and that V8 does not miss a beat! The entire braking system was overhauled in Dec. 1994. The 2 speed Ford-O-Matic shifts extremely smooth and can also be easliy converted into a 3 speed if you so desire. I recently took my Fairlane on a roadtrip that was 300 miles round trip. I had not one problem, was a very smooth ride, I had to use the wipers and defroster the whole way without a hitch and I completed the trip on about $80 worth of fuel! This 55' Fairlane also came equipped with power windows as well as power seats, which was unheard of in 1955. There were less then 300 of these Ford Fairlane's ever produced with these power options! Very few dealers would stock a car of this caliber and was either a special ordered Fairlane or was a dealer principal's vehicle. This Fairlane was very exspensive for its day, no matter what make or model you were interested in buying.This 55' Fairlane was built in Sommerville Mass. I do have a clean Mass title that comes with this Fairlane and has passed all safety and emissions testing in the Commonwealth of Mass as recent as 2004. I do have some logs from the prior owner stating the day, time, location and distance the vehicle was driven. I also have a recommended maintance sheet for this my Fairlane, such as what oil to use, tire pressure, transmission fluid type, power steering type, brake ajustment, etc. So, wether you would like to take this Fairlane out for icecream on a sunday afternoon or if you would like to restore this beautiful machine from the ground up the choice is yours! All I can deliver to you is one beautiful and unique canvas in which to begin from! If you would like to contact me directly, feel free. *******860-982-5335******* Ask for Adam.. Thank you for your time...

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year
Sat, Dec 27 2014It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change.
