Rockmart, Georgia, United States
|
Up for sale is my personal 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 4 door sedan. I found this car sitting inside of a warehouse over a year ago and bought it from the original owners Grandson.
The car had been sitting inside since 1990. I was told the odometer was indeed the actual mileage and it is not staggered like they do when they roll over. I brought the car home and pulled the fuel tank off, cleaned it out, treated it, cleaned the fuel lines and carburetor, Undercoated the entire under carriage, changed the fluids, re installed the fuel tank and have been driving it around town since. All of the glass is good, new wiper blades, all lights work, blinkers, etc. heater works good, AM radio plays good, has sport coupe flipper hubcaps, original spare and jack assembly still in place, 289 engine runs smooth, transmission shifts as should. Car needs a minor restoration It's NEEDS include, brake adjustment, likes to pull to the left a little, bumpers need re chromed ,will need tires, these have good tread but are dry from sitting, needs front floor pan patch panels, the rear is solid and the trunk pan is solid, as are the rocker panels, under neath the doors etc. Car received a repaint in the mid 1980's It will need to be stripped and repainted, there are some minor body flaws such as dings and a couple of small dents but nothing major, car does have some old filler that will need to be repaired, but not much, it was not a rust bucket nor is it a rust bucket. It's a very fun old car to drive, gets a lot of attention , I am just ready for a new toy. Car comes with a legal bill of sale and a copy of its current registration which you may use in your state to obtain a title and tag. One year only body style Please ask all questions prior to bidding, do not bid unless you plan on buying. Full payment is due within 7 days of auction end, you may have as long as you need for transporting at no cost, you pay all transport cost. Thanks |

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
FCA UConnect fiasco could set over-the-air updates back years
Fri, Feb 16 2018Since cars have become more software dependent, most major automakers have been inching toward enabling over-the-air updates to keep vehicle electronics, ranging from infotainment systems to safety features, current. But there are only two car companies — Fiat Chrysler and Ford —± currently doing OTA updates, and on a limited basis. GM CEO Mary Barra announced last summer that the automaker will launch a new EV architecture and infotainment system capable of over-the-air updates "before 2020." The one exception, per usual, is Tesla. Since the release of the Model S almost six years ago, the maverick EV automaker has made routine OTA software updates a core part of its vehicle platforms and value proposition, and has sent out updates for everything from adjusting ride height to enabling Autopilot, largely without incident. When I've asked automakers why they can't do the same thing, I've heard reasons ranging from running afoul of their dealers (and archiac regulation) to security concerns. Automakers like Ford and General Motors say they want to act like tech companies, which routinely send out OTA updates for a wide range of devices, but overall the car industry still moves at a very cautious snail's pace. And when automakers do try to move faster and take more risks — unlike with a smartphone update, which people bitch about but live with — the consequences can be significant when things go wrong. That's the case with Fiat Chrysler America and its recent public-relations nightmare when an OTA update went awry. The update went out at the end of last week for the Uconnect system in late-model vehicles, and it made head units go into a near continuous reboot, which caused owners to not only lose access to entertainment features, but also critical functions like emergency assistance. Almost immediately, owners took to Twitter to express outrage, and FCA was caught flatfooted. A tweet went out on Monday on the UconnectCares Twitter account that read, "Certain 2017 & 2018 Uconnect systems may experience a reboot every 45-60 seconds. Our Engineering teams are investigating the cause and working towards a resolution.
