I listed this very car earlier this year, feeling confident I was ready to part with her- got a LOT of inquiries and offers but ended up changing my mind and promising myself to get it out on the road and really show it off....I started out great, a few nice long cruises, and my first car show- trophy winner! Really psyched, but then life caught up and it's been back under it's cover since mid June....It's time, and I'm ready to see her find new open roads- the local shop thinks I'm crazy to let it go.

Below is the original listing- Good Luck!

As much as I'd LOVE to keep her, I think it's time to let my gorgeous 1963 Ford Fairlane 500 go. I bought this mild custom completely restored, with visions of weekend cruises, showing it off at shows and generally driving it around proudly, but the reality is, 3 years later, it's seen maybe 100 road miles and the underside of a car cover in a private garage. I'm the 3rd owner I believe (owner before me bought it restored, and sold to me due to growing family. It's been in Maryland as far back as all owners recall.) It truly deserves more, so instead of paying to insure and store, it should go to someone that will take her out on sunny days, and proudly show her off like I did on those few rides.
Really- nothing mechanical wrong with it- I love this car- it was restored incredibly, and turns heads every time it's driven- awesome rumble, too....You'd be hard pressed to find one cleaner- with just enough potential to customize further on your own (I wanted to get the original stereo working again, and disc brakes for instance.) Receipts for all of previous owners work- they did all of it. Just under 77,000 miles (though no indication how many are on this newer 302 engine.)

Ford's last year with tail fins- Raven Black exterior with gold, cream interior (factory colors) and beautiful, Cragar SS wheels...It ALWAYS turns heads and gets compliments.

Plenty of great photos available, and will answer questions as best I can, for not having done the restoration....

Thanks for looking- good luck!

and the typical fine print....

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.

Ford confirms launch of new Tourneo vans and Ecosport in Europe for Geneva

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

We've already seen plenty of what the Geneva Motor Show will have in store for us in less than two weeks, but most of the confirmed debuts that were announced so far have generally been luxury or performance cars. Ford, on the other hand, will be showing off a couple of its new family-friendly models for European buyers to enjoy.
On the larger side of things, the full range of Tourneo vans (shown above) will be on display, including the introduction of the new Tourneo Courier model, but Ford will also be showing off the all-new EcoSport crossover, which is based on the automaker's Global B platform and will be positioned beneath the Kuga, better known here as the Escape. The subcompact EcoSport was originally unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last April.
