Today I am putting up for auction my 1955 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan. This Fairlane has a tremendously solid frame, with absolutely no rot and you would be very hard pressed to even find a tiny spot of scaley rust. The body is equally as solid, no rot or rust. Straight lines and a new paint job (completed 2007) with bold color give our Fairlane a sharp and clean look!The 272 cubic inch V8 was totally over hauled in 2007 from the bottom up. Step on the gas and that V8 does not miss a beat! The entire braking system was overhauled in Dec. 1994. The 2 speed Ford-O-Matic shifts extremely smooth and can also be easliy converted into a 3 speed if you so desire. I recently took my Fairlane on a roadtrip that was 300 miles round trip. I had not one problem, was a very smooth ride, I had to use the wipers and defroster the whole way without a hitch and I completed the trip on about $80 worth of fuel! This 55' Fairlane also came equipped with power windows as well as power seats, which was unheard of in 1955. There were less then 300 of these Ford Fairlane's ever produced with these power options! Very few dealers would stock a car of this caliber and was either a special ordered Fairlane or was a dealer principal's vehicle. This Fairlane was very exspensive for its day, no matter what make or model you were interested in buying.This 55' Fairlane was built in Sommerville Mass. I do have a clean Mass title that comes with this Fairlane and has passed all safety and emissions testing in the Commonwealth of Mass as recent as 2004. I do have some logs from the prior owner stating the day, time, location and distance the vehicle was driven. I also have a recommended maintance sheet for this my Fairlane, such as what oil to use, tire pressure, transmission fluid type, power steering type, brake ajustment, etc. So, wether you would like to take this Fairlane out for icecream on a sunday afternoon or if you would like to restore this beautiful machine from the ground up the choice is yours! All I can deliver to you is one beautiful and unique canvas in which to begin from! If you would like to contact me directly, feel free. *******860-982-5335******* Ask for Adam.. Thank you for your time...

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
