1960 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible on 2040-cars
Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
This car was born in california, raised in Vegas and brought to Michigan for restoration. Being a solid Western car, we chose to go over board and make it better than new.. In doing so, we had some minor modifications made to the body and interior. These modifications were designed to make it a show car, with best of show ability. This has paid off well, with best of show wins and many trophy's, including Good Guys. The minor modifications are as follows. The brite work was replated with cu., ni, ch., and the aluminum was re anodised. All the stainless trim was removed and restored and polished as new. The body was striped and blocked to remove factory imperfections. The paint is base clear, Guards Red, that was color sanded and polished to a mirror finish. The car was lowered 3'' and fitted with rear air shocks to be used when required. This did not effect the smooth ride. The wheels were changed from 14" to 15" chrome smoothies and dressed with radial white wall tires. That improved the ride and handeling. The hood and doors were shaved, with keyless enrty for the drivers door, controled by the key fob. The lake pipes are decrotive and are not connected. The interior was done in briliant pearl white, which refects the heat so well, that it is comfortable in the hot sun. The convertible top is white and has recently recieved a new top motor and lines, to make it perform like new. The engine came with the car, I don't think it's original, but is period correct and was rebuilt about 4000 miles ago.The engine was fitted with petronics and a new 4V. The transmission is a standard shift three speed , with over drive, which makes it comfortable as a interstate cruiser. The dual exhaust has glass pacs along the exhaust extensions, I which I call echo cans and are 3 1/2" X 18" and produce a low pleasant tone. We have had a lot of fun with this car and it's the best in the collection, but age has crept up on us, so it's time for it to find a new home. Having sold are other cars, we have found that the new owners have become friends and hope this is the same with the Sunliner. We will continue to attend shows, but it will be with our 49 Merc, which is where it all started. Thanks for looking PS: The car has been driven to local shows, but yes, it's a trailer queen for the out of town shows. |

Ford gets colorful with Mustang anniversary infographic
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Preparing to celebrate its 50th birthday, the Ford Mustang has seen a lot of vehicle trends come and go, and this especially goes for paint colors. Using historical production data, Ford has managed to create an infographic dating back to 1967 that breaks down the three top Mustang colors for each year as well as calling out some of the more interesting trends and colors over the years.
Over its five generations, the Mustang has been offered in a seemingly endless rainbow - from Playboy Pink in '67 and color-changing Mystichrome on the 2004 Cobra - but the most popular has always been red, which is the color of choice for 21 percent of all Mustangs ever made. Almost every year since 1967, red has been among the top three colors for the Mustang, but other popular colors have included blue, white, brown and, most recently, black. There are even websites and registries available for people owning certain-color Mustangs.
As the all-new 2015 Mustang gets ready for its debut later this year, there's no telling what kind of exciting and/or wacky colors Ford has in store. Click on the image above to see the full infographic (choose the "large" option for optimal viewing), or check it out in a smaller size along with the press release posted below.
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..
