hello! this is the last of my project type cars. i have been moving a number of them in the last year and half. this is a great 59 wagon that be restored to original or make a great rat rod wagon. honest barn find here in ohio but was driven from 0klahoma in the early 80s. it has sat quite awhile, needs total restore but great bones and very complete except for minor things. first off let me say importantly that the car will need floor pans obviously. but i have taken much time to scrutinize all the rust issues on the car, and the outer body,doors, rockers and inner rockers,floor supports,core support,rear wheel wells and lips, inner and outer quarters are all incredibley good. it has one small rust area in the spare tire well at the forward dip, see pics. there is minor rust out under the rear seat reall just needs minor patching.that pont forward is what needs replaced as you can see in the pics. the supports where the pans set are excellent front and back, and where the pans meet the inner rockers are also perfect. it will be very easy to make your own for a quick job or lay new ones in and will be hard to even notice. the tailgate is excellent. the hood looks good from the outside but typical bottom lip is going.battery box area rusted but overall very nice inner fenders, air ducts etc. the interior is still pretty nice, typical front seat, but very respectable door panels, this is a 9 passenger and the jump seats are super nice. the bottom of the extra seat is there but the top is missing. even the original cardboard headliner isnt too bad. decent tinted glass all the way around,crack in left vent and left rear side. roll up and down great. the the right door has obvious damage but should be pulled out with out major effort. 332 auto condition unkown. pulled the plugs and oiled her up, does turn over by hand, at the least the trans stays in park very well i think f you had a rust running 59 4 door would be a good way to do the car, or a late model crown vic etc. it can go rat rod on a cheap budget as the outer body is fine as is.or a good car to restore to original. the mettalic blue was sprayed right over top the original wedgewood blue and is cooly flaking off in various places. there appears to be no previous body work any where. only known missing parts is hubcaps,wiper motor and air cleaner that i see. the sill plates where bad. ask any questions you have. this will make a neat car, the real main effort is the floor pans. will help with loading here. overseas buyers fine. 0 and lower negatives contact first or i will cancel bids if i smell a rat. thanks!

Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell revisit bitter F1 rivalry in... Ford Fusion campaign?
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.
Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation
Thu, Jan 21 2016The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:
Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
