Here we have a very nice 1957 Ford F100 V8 Stepside Long Bed Pick-up Project in Very Good Condition. Truck has spent it's life in Colorado dry climate and has very minimal rust. Look at the front end, very straight and all the chrome trim is intact in excellent condition. I recently purchased this truck to restore, but other projects are taking precedence so I am going to pass this one on. The original .292 V8 motor is in the back of the truck as shown as well as the radiator. It is missing the original 3-speed transmission and drive shaft. The steering and brakes are working and the truck moves about well. The previous owner started to restore the truck in 1991 and dropped the ball shortly after he pulled the motor. He said the motor ran well then, but who knows now. The project sat at his business till now and the engine was on a pallet inside the warehouse. Over the years, the transmission and drive shaft got lost. I have never seen a nicer original 1957 dash, it is in beautiful condition, nothing damaged and all there. Under the hood, everything is still there and looks like it would be easy to hook up an engine. All wiring looks good and the speedometer cable is there. Cross member is in place, just needs the drive train, engine, transmission and drive shaft. The truck has incredible patina, I started waxing the right front quarter panel and door, if the whole truck was polished, it could be clear coated, the patina is so cool. Passenger door has been replaced as well as the right front fender, passenger door is missing the inside cover panel. All the glass is intact and the windows and door locks and latches all work, I have 2 ignition keys and 1 door key. The front window has a hole, but not from a bullet, and the back glass and passenger window are cracked. The bed has a few dents on the passenger side that can be straightened, and there is a donor bed on the ground behind the truck, it has a good tailgate and other parts if needed, hard to find these step side long beds, I will dismantle this bed down to 2 long sides, tailgate, font, and some bottom slat pieces, most all of it just un-bolts. I will load the other bed in the back of the truck with the engine for transport. The only real rust problem is the inside cab corners on the floor board as shown and the running board steps. Should be easy to fix and make solid, this was a flaw in the construction of these, the brackets under there held mud and moisture and caused rust. Other than that and a few dents, should be easy to fix up, truck is really very straight, especially the front end, it looks great. I have a clear Colorado title and the truck can be seen and/or picked up in Longmont, Colorado. I will be happy to help loading if you want to send a trucking company to pick it up, I won't handle the shipping though. Any questions please email me or call 303-507-0045, Mike.

Lincoln dealers to build standalone dealerships separate from Ford

Tue, Aug 14 2018

Way back in 2011, Ford Motor Credit Co. established Lincoln Automotive Financial Services as part of what Automotive News called "a campaign to set the Lincoln brand apart." Lincoln's been on a wild, public ride in the seven years since, which included a near-death experience in 2013 under former Ford CEO Alan Mulally. But Ford's luxury brand has rebounded and is ready to take another shot at setting itself apart. Automaker execs have asked dealers with twinned Ford- Lincoln dealerships in 30 major U.S. markets to build standalone stores. According to company data, the move isn't a gamble — dealers with standalone showrooms sell more vehicles. Lincoln's standalone dealerships in the 30 major U.S. markets that account for 70 percent of luxury segment sales increased 48 percent from 2014 to 2017, compared to an overall Lincoln brand sales increase of 18 percent. After a former Ford-Lincoln dealer in Minneapolis opened a devoted Lincoln store this January, sales have climbed 60 percent so far this year. Dealers in Orange County, California, and Atlanta, Georgia have seen sales double since opening exclusive Lincoln storefronts. The sales manager at the Atlanta dealer said, "Customers have pulled up and said, 'This is how it should be.'" Robert Parker, Lincoln's head of marketing, said, "Customers expect the environment to be equal to the product. They want to buy a luxury product in a luxury environment." That issue repeatedly comes up when a mass-market brand launches a luxury product; observers have lately wondered how much the issue affects sales of Hyundai's Genesis brand. Out of 845 Lincoln showrooms nationwide, there are 150 Lincoln dealers in those 30 major U.S. markets. So far, 72 dealers have made or are working to make the standalone switch on their own. Lincoln is asking the remaining 78 shops to follow suit, to agree to a new facility by July 2019 and to have the store finished by July 2021. Only the showrooms would need to be exclusive, service and other back-end departments can remain in Ford-branded complexes. Wielding the carrot, Lincoln will help dealers with relocating, and pay more for every car sold. Wielding the stick, Lincoln said that come Q2 2019, it won't let twinned dealers sell Black Label trims if they don't already. Over the next couple of years, Lincoln will complete the revamp of its lineup. Said marketing honco Parker, "The next phase of the transformation is critical.
