You are bidding on a barn fresh 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 4 door sedan. This car was put into a steel building in April of 1994 until I discovered her and brought her back to daily driver status. This car has been very well preserved. The following parts are all brand new: battery, points, condenser, coil, plugs, gas tank, fuel pump, tires, master cylinder rebuilt, brakes, changed oil, air filter, added new trans fluid, gear oil, coolant, and one new headlight. The glass in this car is in great shape - no cracks in any of it. It is 1950's double pane so it has the standard yellowing glue on the edges. Very little rust anywhere. The front fenders have rust on the bottom corner (patch pieces are available for around $60.00 each - easy repair) the rockers are very solid with only a small amount of rust in on the very rear, the lower rear quarters have pretty light rust and patch panels are also available online but may not really be needed. The worst rust is the trunk right at the body mounts behind the wheels (a small sheet of 18ga steel and 30 minutes of welding will fix this) and a body mount under the passenger floor panel is getting rusty. The spare tire cavity is perfect and rust free (this is a very common area of rust on these cars). The car had a factory undercoating so it is in remarkably good condition all around. It has dual exhaust with glass pack mufflers and new chrome tips. It rides pretty good but could use an updated suspension (perfect candidate for an air ride system) - I am currently driving it to work and back everyday so it is certainly road worthy. The engine runs smooth, idles good, accelerates, cruises on the highway. The interior is in good shape as well. The front seat is starting to get thin and the foam is hard but the back seat is in great shape. I installed brand new period correct seat belts in the back for the kids but the front does not have any. The carpet needs to be replaced but it is mostly there. The headliner is stained and has a couple small holes but it isn't falling down - still tight. The entire dashboard and gauges look like they came off the assembly line yesterday. These cars only have 5 digit odometers so it impossible to verify milage but I know this: there is an oil change sticker inside the drivers door from 1970 and the mileage is listed at 44,658. There is another oil change card on the dash from 1978 and the mileage is 53,641. The guy I bought it from said the previous owner wasn't driving it but he drove it home from there. I believe he took the missing front trim pieces for another car he had then put it into storage in 92. Sorry for the long post just trying to be accurate & detailed. This is a great running car, a survivor, and it is great to have it back on the road. Bid, win then take it to the next level with a full restore, air bag it with some gold rims, or just drive it as the time capsule that it is. Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks for looking.

Sunday Drive: Volvo hits a crossover home run, and people still love sports cars

Sun, Sep 24 2017

Looking back at the week that just was clearly tells us at least three things. First, crossovers don't have to be boring. Second, people still love sports cars, from the attainable (Audi TT RS) to the fanciful (Mercedes-AMG GT C). And finally, the traditional German trio of premium luxury brands had better not rest on their laurels, because credible challengers are coming in from every direction. The biggest reveal of the week, at least judging by the interest of Autoblog readers, was the Volvo XC40. Not only is the little 'ute a looker, it introduces some innovative new buying/leasing schemes designed to appeal to an audience accustomed to trading in and trading up every couple of years. Think of Volvo's flat-fee lease as you would a smartphone contract, and you'll be on the right track. Genesis looks to have a hit on its hands in the form of the G70 sport sedan. We took a Korean-spec model for a spin and found a lot to like about the upstart contender. We can't wait to sample one here in the United States to see how it stacks up against the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In other news, we're still really excited to see a production Ford Ranger Raptor. But if you just can't wait for the official reveal — it's OK, neither can we — take a look at the renderings in our post down below. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry.

Detroit Three's lucrative pickup war intensifies as Ram makes big gains

Thu, Jan 3 2019

DETROIT — The battle for profits from sales of large pickup trucks is intensifying among the Detroit Three automakers as sales of small cars in the United States shrivel. For decades Ford has had the single best-selling truck brand in its F-Series trucks. General Motors' Chevrolet brand was a solid No. 2, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram was a distant third. Now, that hierarchy may be in flux. Sales figures for December and the fourth quarter released on Thursday show Ram tied with GM's Chevy for the No. 2 spot, as sales of the redesigned Ram pickup surged, fueled in part by demand for an optional 12-inch (30.48 cm) dashboard screen. Chevy not long ago held second place to Ford by a wide margin. GM executives said on Thursday they are bullish on their new GMC and Chevy trucks for 2019.Related: How the Detroit Three's pickups compare on paper 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie review 2019 Chevy Silverado 2.7L four-cylinder review 2019 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost review "There's no doubt this segment (pickup trucks) is one of the epicenters of the auto wars," said Sandor Piszar, director of marketing for Chevrolet at GM. "It's been that way forever, and we wouldn't have it any other way." On Wall Street, investors give electric car leader Tesla a higher valuation than any of the Detroit automakers. But in the nation's heartland, big pickups remain far more popular and profitable than any electric car — and most other consumer vehicles of any kind. Large pickups generate at least $17,000 a vehicle in pretax profit for GM, the company has indicated in disclosures to investors. By contrast, many Detroit Three sedans are so unprofitable, their manufacturers have decided not to build them anymore. 'Hotly contested' Sustaining sales and pricing in the large-pickup segment will be critical in a year when most forecasters expect overall U.S. car and light truck sales to fall. Ford's U.S. sales chief, Mark LaNeve, on Thursday called the F Series "the backbone of our franchise" during a conference call, and added the "segment will continue to be strong, but hotly contested" in 2019. Automakers are banking on pickup truck sales to stay strong even if U.S. interest rates continue to rise. Rising interest rates translate into higher monthly car payments and are expected to deter some buyers in 2019. GM has said 27 percent of Chevrolet and GMC trucks — which can haul trailers by day and substitute for a luxury sedan by night — sell for more than $55,000.
