For sale is a fun 1962 Ford Galaxie 500XL convertible.  She has the 352 V8 2brl.  I've owned the car for 5 years, and since then, she has a new automatic transmission, rebuilt generator, new battery, new rear shocks, new convertible top motor, new fuel pump and hoses, new bushings in the stabilizer links, and new rear brake shoes.  This is a fun cruising car in great mechanical shape and decent cosmetic shape.  Paint job was re-done (I'm told) about 5 years before I purchased it, so about 10 years ago.  There are some bubbles and minor surface rust spots showing through, but nothing significant.  Convertible top works well and is in good cosmetic condition with no holes in it.  Still has the original AM radio in it (I can get in 2 stations very clearly).  Car has black pinstriping on the pearl paint.  Clock is present but not running.  Oil pressure gauge was added (not original to the car).  Front and rear seatbelts (lap belts) are present but I'm not sure if they were original to the car.  Front bucket seats and rear bench.  Wheels are 15" alloys off a modern Ford.  I have original-style hubcaps in the trunk and could be used with 14" steel wheels.  All vinyl seating with no tears.  Since I've owner her, I've had a Pennsylvania State Inspection completed every year, most recently in May 2013, about 5 months ago.  Original patent plant in the door jam is converted as follows:

Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says

Fri, Jun 5 2015

The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.
