1955 Ford Fairlane - Town Sedan - All Original Survivor!!!! on 2040-cars
Burbank, California, United States
Looking for an original 1955
Ford that hasn't been altered in anyway and been in the same family since late
1954? Up for sale is a 1955 Ford Town Sedan ----All Original Survivor ----black
and white with green inside---Never repainted factory original!!!!!--First, the
car is NOT running, and has been in storage INSIDE since 1979. 6 months ago it
was moved to my drive-way, and it sits today. The car has the original paint,
interior, chrome and stainless still on the car--- it's ALL THERE. One emblem
on the trunk is bent (Ford-o-matic) but could be fixed if new one can't be
found. The original hub caps are included (tires are going flat), no cracked or
missing glass, original tube AM radio, and a dash that's in truly amazing shape
for its age. The body is in strong shape, with some damage in the rocker panel
under the doors on the driver's side----this is NOT a rust bucket and I have
not seen any rust on the car popping up---always been a So-Cal auto since DAY 1
in the Los Angeles area---has 1963 black plates. Has ONLY 89,900 original miles!!! On Oct-19-13 at 20:55:14 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE: The car's interior is original, but is not in great shape --it's torn in sections---been like that since the mid 1970's. There is a set of green seat covers that was placed on the car sometime in the late 1960's, and they have been on since then. Some of the cloth molding is worn and the drives door panel has torn in the cloth section. As I said, it's all original and never altered---so the car can return back to day one stock (since nothing has been removed) or custom the car out. The paint does have chips, scratches all over the car, but this was a daily driver up until 1979 when it went into storage---the car seen about 25 years or wear and then stored. As for rust---I've been getting questions about that---looking around the car, I'm seeing no rust popping up on the body. The car was stored inside for 33 years, so it wasn't sitting out in the elements. The door locks, truck and ignition keys will need to be replace. |

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.
Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.
2016: The year of the autonomous-car promise
Mon, Jan 2 2017About half of the news we covered this year related in some way to The Great Autonomous Future, or at least it seemed that way. If you listen to automakers, by 2020 everyone will be driving (riding?) around in self-driving cars. But what will they look like, how will we make the transition from driven to driverless, and how will laws and infrastructure adapt? We got very few answers to those questions, and instead were handed big promises, vague timelines, and a dose of misdirection by automakers. There has been a lot of talk, but we still don't know that much about these proposed vehicles, which are at least three years off. That's half a development cycle in this industry. We generally only start to get an idea of what a company will build about two years before it goes on sale. So instead of concrete information about autonomous cars, 2016 has brought us a lot of promises, many in the form of concept cars. They have popped up from just about every automaker accompanied by the CEO's pledge to deliver a Level 4 autonomous, all-electric model (usually a crossover) in a few years. It's very easy to say that a static design study sitting on a stage will be able to drive itself while projecting a movie on the windshield, but it's another thing entirely to make good on that promise. With a few exceptions, 2016 has been stuck in the promising stage. It's a strange thing, really; automakers are famous for responding with "we don't discuss future product" whenever we ask about models or variants known to be in the pipeline, yet when it comes to self-driving electric wondermobiles, companies have been falling all over themselves to let us know that theirs is coming soon, it'll be oh so great, and, hey, that makes them a mobility company now, not just an automaker. A lot of this is posturing and marketing, showing the public, shareholders, and the rest of the industry that "we're making one, too, we swear!" It has set off a domino effect – once a few companies make the guarantee, the rest feel forced to throw out a grandiose yet vague plan for an unknown future. And indeed there are usually scant details to go along with such announcements – an imprecise mileage estimate here, or a far-off, percentage-based goal there. Instead of useful discussion of future product, we get demonstrations of test mules, announcements of big R&D budgets and new test centers they'll fund, those futuristic concept cars, and, yeah, more promises.
