 UP FOR BID IS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 1959 FORD GALAXIE RETRACTABLE HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE.  I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM ANOTHER CAR COLLECTOR FROM NEW ENGLAND AT ONE OF THE LAST KRUSE AUCTIONS HELD AT THE VERONA NY CASINO ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO. 

THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  IT HAS OF COURSE THE WORKING RETRACTABLE HARDTOP IN PERFECT CONDITION.  IT GOES UP AND DOWN WITH A TOUCH OF A BUTTON UNDER THE DASH AND IT ALWAYS DRAWS A CROWD.  THE CAR IS FULLY EQUIPPED AND HAS POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, POWER WINDOWS, POWER SEAT, AND AFTER MARKET MODERN AM/FM STEREO RADIO.  (I HAVE THE ORIGINAL RADIO).  THE CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC SEAT COVERS IT CAME WITH AND FEATURES A TRI-COLOR RED BLACK AND WHITE UPHOLSTERY.  THE CARPETS ARE BLACK AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  ALL THE UPHOLSTERY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER WORK.  THE ODOMETER HAS LESS THAN 37000 ON IT.  I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE REAL MILEAGE IS, HOWEVER THIS CAR HAS BEEN GENTLY USED. 

ALL THE POWER WINDOWS WORK WELL AS WELL AS THE POWER SEAT.  THE CARS STARTS, STOPS, AND DRIVES EXTREMELY WELL.  IT WILL CRUISE AT 65 ALL DAY LONG.  I JUST TOOK A TRIP ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY FROM ROCHESTER NY TO SYRACUSE NY AND IT CRUISED AT 65MPH AND KEPT UP WITH TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.

THE PAINT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SHINES BEAUTIFULLY.  THE CAR MAY HAVE BEEN REPAINTED IN THE FACTORY COLOR, HOWEVER IT WAS DONE BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETECT ANY OVERSPRAY IN THE DOORS OR TRUNK AREA OR UNDER THE HOOD.  THE CHROME IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SHINES LIKE IT JUST LEFT THE FACTORY.  NEW CARS HAVE VIRTUALLY NO CHROME AND THIS CAR HAS LOTS OF IT.  IT IS ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  THE GLASS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND  THE CAR FEATURES A TINTED FRONT WINDSHIELD. 

THE CAR CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH AIR CONDITIONING AND IT WORKS FINE.  IT WAS MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH, AND IT HAS A CHROME EMBLEM ON THE PASSENGER DOOR STATING THE CAR IS FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH SELECT-AIRE AIR CONDITIONING.  AGAIN IT WORKS FINE.

AFTER I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THE OLD MECHANIC WENT THROUGH THE CAR FROM STEM TO STERN AND CORRECTED ALL MINOR DEFECTS IT HAD.  THE CAR HAS 2 FACTORY SPOTLIGHTS AND THEY NOW LIGHT JUST LIKE WHEN THEY LEFT THE FACTORY.  THE CONTINENTAL KIT IS FACTORY INSTALLED AS WELL.  IT HAS THE SPARE TIRE.  THERE IS NO RUST ON THIS VEHICLE AND I THINK THE ORIGINAL RUST PROOFING IS STILL ON THE CAR.  THE CAR HAD ORIGINAL BIAS BELTED TIRES THAT WERE IN TERRIBLE SHAPE.  I HAD 4 NEW FIRESTONE WHITE WALL 380'S  INSTALLED ON THE CAR.  THE RADIAL TIRES WORK FINE WITH THIS SUSPENSION AND IT HELPS THE CAR STOP WELL AND IT TRACKS JUST FINE.  SOME PEOPLE THINK THE CAR NEEDS WIDER WHITE WALLS AND A NEW OWNER COULD MAKE THAT CHANGE.

I WAS TOLD THE CAR CAME FROM ALABAMA BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE.  THE MAN I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM DID NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION WITH THE CAR.  HOWEVER, IT RUNS GREAT AND PERFORMS VERY WELL.  IT DRIVES STRAIGHT AND TRUE AND IS FREE FROM STRANGE NOISES OR CREAKS ETC.

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND A 332 CUBIC INCH ENGINE WITH A 2 BARREL CARB.  THE ENGINE STARTS RIGHT UP, PURRS LIKE A KITTEN, SUPPLIES PLENTY OF POWER AND NEEDS NOTHING.  I HAD ALL FLUIDS CHANGED THE YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR AND EVERYTHING MECHANICAL IS IN EXCELLENT OPERATING CONDITION.  THE ENGINE OIL WAS CHANGED THIS SEASON.  THE UNDER HOOD AREA IS DETAILED TO A HIGH DEGREE AND LOOKS GOOD.

I SUBSCRIBE TO ALL THE OLD CAR PUBLICATIONS AND THE PRICE GUIDES AND AUCTION RESULT GUIDES.  1959 IS THE MOST POPULAR YEAR FOR THE RETRACTABLES AND RED IS THE BEST COLOR FOR ANY COLLECTIBLE CAR.  VEHICLES LIKE THIS HAVE SOLD FOR AS MUCH AS $69,000 IN RECENT AUCTIONS.  YES, YOU CAN BUY A RETRACTABLE FOR MUCH LESS THAN MY BUY- IT-NOW PRICE.  REMEMBER, MANY OF THESE CARS WERE RUST BUCKETS AND ALL THE BODY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE.  ONE CAN BUY NEW FLOOR PANS. OTHER SHEET METAL,  THE LUGGAGE BUCKET FOR THE BACK, AND MUCH OF THE OTHER PARTS.  THIS CAR IS ORIGINAL AS ANY 55 YEAR OLD CAR CAN BE AND HAS NO RUST.

PLEASE CALL ME AT 585-259-3958 WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CAR.  I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER CARS FROM MY COLLECTION CURRENTLY ON EBAY.

THE CAR IS GARAGED IN FAIRPORT NY WHICH IS A SUBURB OF ROCHESTER NY.

TRANSPORTATION TO THE BUYER'S HOME IS COMPLETELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER.  I WILL COOPERATE WITH THE SHIPPER YOU CHOOSE.

THE VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO GUARANTEE.  HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS IN TIP-TOP SHAPE AND THE NEW OWNER WILL NOT HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON RECONDITIONING.

YOU CAN FIND LESS COSTLY RETRACTABLE HARDTOPS, BUT NOW AS NICE AND AS SHARP AS THIS ONE.

THANKS VINCE.

President Trump to visit Michigan on Wednesday to attend auto-related event

Mon, Mar 13 2017

President Trump will visit the Detroit area on Wednesday for the first time since taking office, the Detroit News reports this morning, to meet with officials of automakers, suppliers and unions, and to attend a rally of autoworkers. Trump might use the event to announce his intentions to roll back fuel-economy standards for cars and trucks. The automakers agreed to the standards, which set a goal of a fleet average 54.5 miles per gallon by the year 2025, under President Obama, but they have lobbied Trump to repeal them. "This is a continuation of a dialogue with the auto industry leaders, and also going back and reconnecting with a lot of the people who elected him," Chris Liddell told the News. Liddell is former chief financial officer of General Motors and now assistant to the president for strategic initiatives at the White House. Trump might also use Wednesday's visit to advocate the House Republicans' proposed replacement for the Affordable Care Act. Later Wednesday, he will attend a campaign-style rally in Nashville, and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has said the president intends to hit the road to sell the American public on the Obamacare replacement plan. The auto industry has been high on Trump's agenda - and a focus of his rhetoric to return manufacturing jobs and facilities to the United States. During his first week in office, Trump met privately at the White House with the CEOs of Ford, GM and Fiat Chrysler, and GM CEO and Chairman Mary Barra and Ford CEO Mark Fields are members of Trump economic advisory groups. He has criticized Ford and GM for making cars in Mexico and took credit when Ford scrapped plans for a new plant there.

Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
