FITTED WITH POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AND RETRACTING CONVERTIBLE HARDTOP!! | | SPECIFICATIONS | Year | 1957 | Make | Ford | Model | Fairlane 500 Skyliner Retractable | VIN | C7KW164119 | Mileage | 80,169 | Engine | 352ci | Cylinders | V8 | Transmission | Automatic | Title | Clear | Color | Inca Gold / Colonial White | Interior Color | Black / White | | | DESCRIPTION | Named after Henry Ford’s famous estate, “Fairlane”, in Michigan the Ford Fairlane debuted in 1955 as a top of the line full size automobile and was available in 6 versions all bearing the signature stainless steel Fairlane stripe down the side. Despite direct competition from the wildly popular Chevrolet Bel Air, the Fairlane faired very well against Chevy and other GM offerings. With its combination of classic good looks, better performance, greater option list and multiple trim levels, the Fairlane was poised to grab a sizeable chunk of the full-size car market even in its first year. Today, Fairlanes of all shapes and sizes are highly collectable and represent a rapidly appreciating segment of the investment car marketplace. Finished in factory correct Inca Gold & Colonial White, with brand new two-tone white & black interior, this exceptional, and very rare, Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner with retractable hard-top represents the first production year for this classic retractable and demonstrates, perhaps, the pinnacle of 1950’s design! With its exceptional and unequaled use of stainless steel and chrome accents, its embodiment of the “Long and Low” style of the time, its fusion of locomotive and aviation design cues—the 1957 Fairlane 500 is certainly among the last great contributions to the legacy of Art Deco inspired automotive styling produced in the United States. Equipped with an upgraded and dependable 352ci V8-4bbl engine & Fordomatic transmission (both 1959/60 date-cast components), Master-Guide power steering, MagicAire heater, fender skirts, front bumper over-riders, working AM radio with manual antenna, single exterior mirror, new E78-14 Coker Classic wide whitewall tires, full wheel covers, chrome oval exhaust tips, windshield washers, clock, and cigarette lighter! This beautifully restored car is among the nicest and rarest drivable examples available anywhere at any price. Kept by a meticulous past owner since 1988 as part of a prized collection, this Fairlane 500 has only seen beautiful days and car shows! The power retractable top is full operation order and works flawlessly! It has new brakes recently installed & new weather stripping. A collector quality car that is priced at a fraction of the restoration cost, so do not delay, this car will move fast! All cars are advertised locally and nationally.

The redesigned 2020 Ford Escape and its platform-mate, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair, have both just completed their bout of crash tests at the hands of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and while they did not emerge unscathed, they did come away with the agency's Top Safety Pick Award. One caveat: The rating only applies to the Escape equipped with the available LED headlights, which were deemed Acceptable. Similarly, the Corsair needs the available curve-adaptive LED headlights, also rated Acceptable, in order to achieve Top Safety Pick. The Escape's standard halogen headlights scored only a Marginal rating, while the Corsair's base LED headlights were deemed Poor due to glare. Those low headlight ratings knock the vehicles out of contention for Top Safety Pick. Had either vehicle offered headlights able to achieve a Good rating, that would have been enough to get them the agency's Top Safety Pick+ rating. Outside of their headlights, the 2020 Escape and Corsair acquitted themselves well. The Escape saw a big improvement in the difficult small-overlap front crash test, going from a Poor result in the previous generation to Good with the new one. The Corsair performed identically, and both achieved Good ratings in all six crash tests. The IIHS also tests automatic emergency-braking systems, and the standard and optional systems in the Escape and the Corsair both earned Superior ratings.

Paramedics and ambulance personnel get instructions from a command unit outside London's ExCel Centre arena, which is being turned into a 4,000 bed temporary hospital called NHS Nightingale to deal with coronavirus patients. The hospital is due to open Monday, March 30. / AP Â Â LONDON — Britain has ordered 10,000 ventilators from a consortium of leading aerospace, engineering and Formula One racing companies which will start production this week in response to an urgent government call for industry to help save lives. The 27-strong team, including Airbus, BAE Systems, Ford and Rolls-Royce, have joined forces to ramp up production of a ventilator made by Smiths Group, which supports those with complications from COVID-19. The consortium, which also includes seven Formula One teams including McLaren and Mercedes, home to World Champion Lewis Hamilton, said they had pulled staff off existing projects to meet the national need. Some 1,228 people have died from coronavirus in the United Kingdom and a senior health official said on Saturday the country would be doing well if it manages to keep the death toll below 20,000. "This consortium brings together some of the most innovative companies in the world," Dick Elsy, the head of the consortium, said in a statement. "I am confident this consortium has the skills and tools to make a difference and save lives." The United Kingdom, which initially only had 5,000 ventilators available in its National Health Service, has been trying to secure additional supplies after realising it needed 30,000 to cope with the peak of the outbreak. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is now in isolation in Downing Street after testing positive for coronavirus, made an emergency appeal earlier this month for manufacturers to retool their production lines and start making specialist health equipment including ventilators. Britain now has about 8,000 ventilators, with another 8,000 on order from international manufacturers that are due in coming weeks. Last week it placed an order for a newly-designed model from the vacuum cleaner company Dyson that will need to be approved by the health regulator. Mercedes part of a separate effort, too Separately on Monday a second consortium including Mercedes Formula One and other F1 teams said it had developed in less than a week a new version of a breathing aid that can help coronavirus patients.

This episode of the Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore, Road Test Editor Zac Palmer and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. The trio begin by discussing the 2022 Technology of the Year award. Ford's Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch hauling/towing tech as tested in the F-150 Lightning won this year. Why the Ford won, how testing went down and Ford's competition — including the GMC Hummer EV and Genesis GV60 — are discussed. After diving through the Technology of the Year award testing, the three take on this week's news. A mysterious vehicle based on the Corvette (that isn't a Corvette) is supposedly on its way. Audi is giving us "Performance" versions of the RS 6 Avant and RS 7 Sportback. Plus, we discuss a recent study that provides data for the 10 longest lasting vehicles on the road today. After the news, the crew dive into the cars they've been driving this week. Greg's been behind the wheel of a Nissan Pathfinder, while Jeremy and Zac have been driving some plug-in hybrids, including the Lexus NX 450h+ and Autoblog's long-term BMW 330e xDrive.
