Here is an extremely rare 1957 Meteor Rideau 500 2 door hardtop. This is the Canadian equivalent to the Fairlane 500. Total production was only 2,254 units. There are only a handful of these cars in restored or nice presentable condition left. This car is an older frame off restoration that has always been garaged and cared for - I believe it was restored in the early 1990's, and was a West Coast car since new. It still presents very well and is a beautiful driver. Paint is very nice with some small chipped areas. It is painted in the original yellow/black/white tri-tone color scheme, but the yellow is brighter than the original Ford color that year. Stainless is intact and shows pretty well -- there are some minor dings and marks in the trim, but still looks very good. Interior is very nice presentable original, with some wear on the driver's seat cushion. Original padded dash and visors are nice. The weatherstripping on the driver's door needs to be adjusted so the door fits the quarter panel a little better -- it seems that the reproduction weatherstrips are a too thick or stiff, and that holds the door out slightly. I am missing the small "Rideau500" trunk script. Very clean inside and out, and is very clean underneath. This Meteor has Master Guide power steering, Swift Sure power brakes, and is powered by a 292 yblock and the 3 speed Ford-O-Matic auto trans. New Diamondback Classic www tires just mounted. It runs and drives out great - I would be confident to drive this car anywhere, and it gathers a lot of great attention where ever it goes, as it is a really striking car. Again, this is an older restoration in excellent condition, and I rate this car as a beautiful driver, but it is not a #1 show car. I have this car stored in the Vancouver, British Columbia area. Since this car is advertised in other publications and venues, I may end this auction at any time. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. Payment is by certified funds. Good luck and happy bidding!

Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.

Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).
