A TRUE SURVIVOR
1955 FORD FAIRLANE TOWN SEDAN

76,400 ACTUAL MILE - ARKANSAS CAR
Sold new by Randall Ford Ft Smith AK

Here is a true survivor and a fun car to drive



272 V8 Y Block with 3 on the tree. Has newer radial white walls and a newer dual exhaust with glasspacks (installed 2005). I have receipts that relate to heads/carb, clutch and brake repairs from 2002-2003

This car is a joy to drive and runs great. It is completely original except for the items listed above. A solid Arkansas car has good floors and is 98% rust free. Has some small amount of rust through around rear wheel openings as shown in photos. Some scuff dents on passenger side. Original paint, original interior. Still has the factory chalk marks under the hood. Interior is faded, front carpet is disintegrating. Front seat shows some tears. Foam rubber on both seats is dry and powdery.Original style uphostry available through LeBarron Bonnie. Chrome and trim is presentable as original. Radio works intermidiately (car is missing it antenna assy). Wipers don't work 

Car runs and drives good. I drove it last year on the Woodward Dream Cruise with no issues. After 3 hours in stop and go the temp did start to rise a bit. Front sway bar rubbers are dried out so it rattles. Rear engine seal leaks some. Gas tank vent hose is cracked so you can smell a bit of gas if the tank is full. Since last year I have put about 2,000 miles on this car.Lots of fun AS IS!

This car was bought new from Randall Ford in Ft Smith ARK by an Army Colonel from Camp Chaffee ARK. It was sold again in 1958 to another gentleman in FT Smith and remained in his family until 2004 having made its way to Wisconsin sometime in 1998. 

I have names and addresses of all the owners, the original owner's manual, original Ford Service Policy and some of the original registration cards through the years. Also have the original Randall Ford Dealer insignia that attaches to the trunk lid.

Car is located near Ann Arbor Michigan.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.
