Here is a very rare, excellent example of a 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner convertible. This is the model with both Galaxie and Fairlane 500 designation,. Factory colors of Colonial White over Indian Turquoise. This is a very original California car - awesome original sheet metal, very straight and pretty much zero rust. Some paint chips and scratches in paint, a few very subtle small dings. Body gaps are great, doors and deck lids line up and shut nicely. It is running the original 332 FE v8 (2bbl Holley carburetor) and the Cruise-O-Matic transmission. As far as I can tell, it has had one repaint 40+ years ago. It has a super nice, largely original interior -- I think the carpets and seat inserts have been replaced in the past. This car had been parked in a climate controlled garage at least 24 years prior to when I got it. I did spend a lot of time and $$ making repairs and upgrades to make it a really nice driver:
- New front end and shocks complete.
- New brakes.
- New www bias ply tires as original.
- New carburetor, generator, regulator, fuel pump, water pump, hoses and belts.
- New fuel tank.
- New convertible top and weatherstrips, hydraulic pump, lift rams and hoses.
- Recent tune up.
- NOS Foxcraft stainless steel fender skirts.
- New hubcaps and accessory spinner.

Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.

To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
