1958 Ford Fairlane Fairlane Skyliner Hardtop Convertible on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
Here is a classic 1958 Ford Skyliner Hard Top Convertible available for sale. This pink & white Fairlane is in
terrific condition and ready to enjoy. Turn on the ignition, drop the power top and off you go! Car was fully
restored approximately 12 years ago (per previous owner) and has been used sparingly the last six years (and driven
less than 300 miles during that time).
It is believed to be a three owner car. Original owner was a mechanic. Car was purchased about six years ago as a
Sunday driver but current owner never really got around to driving this car. Professional and family obligations
took up most free time he would otherwise have had to enjoy the car.
Car has been properly maintained. Seats, door panels, headliner all in terrific shape. Seat belts installed for
five passengers. The car starts, runs and drives nicely and the factory hardtop works great*. Within the past few
weeks, car has received a tune-up, fluids flushed, hoses replaced, oil changed – the engine is mechanically
sound. As seen in the photos, both exterior and interior show very well.
*Upon inspection (and to the best of my knowledge), the chrome bumpers has some pitting and minor rust (nothing
serious that would deter me if I was a buyer). While the body/paint is in very, very good condition, there are some
minor rust spots – examples documented in the photos (again, if I was a buyer I wouldn’t be deterred). If you
were to stand five feet from the car, these imperfections wouldn’t be noticeable.
Car is an automatic with power windows, power steering and power assist brakes. Heating and radio works (no a/c).
Wipers do not fully operate (they will sweep the window one way but not come down). The clock, map and headliner
lights do not work. While the top goes up and down, it can be temperamental at the start. There are 1957 hubcaps on this 1958 model. Odometer works and shows approximately 79,500 miles. I would rate this
To summarize, while there are some items that need discretionary attention, this American classic Fairlane 500
Convertible is a great car for leisurely drives – a terrific boulevard cruiser to be enjoyed with the wife (or
hubby), kids or grandchildren that can also be used as a daily driver.

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
2015 Galpin Ford GTR1
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.
