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. |

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
