1957 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door hardtop

Believed to be a matching number, original car, 1owner.

You are bidding on well known California Blues Guitarist Steve Samuels car that was featured on his band Redwing's first album cover.
Our car club acquired this car from his family after his passing in June, as a project car or for fund raising.
The father and son project originally planned did not work out and we are selling the car to help fund our clubs work shop.

Here is what we know about the car:
It is currently licensed and drive-able in California we have driven the car around and it starts and runs very well every thing seems to work
including the overdrive transmission. The car appears to still have the original 312 Y Block Thunderbird engine with 4BBL carburetor.
Upholstery while seriously in poor condition appear to be original as is the radio.

As it spent much of its life on the coast of southern California it does as shown have some rust issues in the rocker panels as well as the front floor pans.
It is missing one piece of trim, there is damage to one headlight and the interior needs replacement. Most if not all of the rust problems
can be fixed with replacement panels currently available for these cars. We know it was Steve's dream to
restore the car and there is a trunk full of spare parts and some of the parts that appear to be missing.

It is my personal opinion that this is one of the most beautifully conceived and designed cars Ford Motor company ever built and it does deserve a full restoration especially in light of its history.

We can help with getting this vehicle shipped any where in the world and are happy to do so.

Thanks you for looking please do not hesitate to ask questions and good luck bidding.

Woman trades 1914 Model T in for 2013 Corvette

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

We're sure that dealers must see all sorts of interesting trade ins, but this one may take the cake. Red River Chevrolet in Bossier City, Louisiana, recently had a customer come in with an odd request. Tina Boyter wanted to trade in three vehicles on a brand-new 2013 Chevy Corvette. Among the hardware was 1980 Corvette, a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado and a 1914 Ford Model T. While the '80 Corvette had been her personal car for years, the '78 Eldorado had belonged to Boyter's mother before she traded up to a Lincoln. The big Caddy had just 10,290 miles on the clock when it was traded in.
And the Model T? Boyter says the car was built as a racer by Ford, and that it had been a show winner for years when it belonged to her father. But, after spending the last 16 years in a museum with its fluids drained, Boyter decided it was time to shed some of the past. She walked into the dealer, laid eyes on a white 2LT Corvette with a red interior and offered to trade all three of the vehicles in on the sports car.
Why not wait for the C7? "I fell in love with that one when I walked in the door," She said. We can't fault her there.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles

Wed, Jan 15 2014

We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
