I am listing this 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 2-door hardtop for a friend.  Any specific questions should be directed to him (Ray) at 515-290-9060.

This 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 is really a fairly decent car.  The car starts, runs and drives well, and stops with decent brakes.  The exhaust seems a little loud though.  The paint is poor but the body is pretty solid.  The underside has the typical and expected surface rust.  I didn't see any serious or alarming frame rust.  I did notice sume rust through at the bottom of the driver's door jam at the front edge of the sill plate.  I have not had the car on a lift or crawled under.  The car does seem very solid while driving and braking. 

The chrome is fair and the stainless is good.  All of the trim appears to be there and complete.  The door window frames, door handles, rear taillight housings, trunk V, side mirror, etc. have some pitting.  Good glass.  Body pretty straight.  All lenses are intact.  Tires are a little old but seem roadworthy, although I have not driven the car at speeds over 35 MPH. 

The engine is a 351.  I don't know if its a Windsor or Cleveland.  Sounds smooth with little to no vibration.  Good brakes.  Trans shifts well.  The doors, hood and trunk open and shut solidly. 

All of the windows and vents work well.  Dome light works.   Fuel guage, wipers, heater/defroster blower 2-speed fan, and speedometer work.  All of the turn signals blink and on the dash too.  Headlights are working.  Not working: horn, radio, and clock.  So, its a running, driving, operable car as-is.  The odometer has 67,287 on it.  Mileage on the 351 is unknown.  The following are the numbers from the trim tag:  Body-65A, Color-A, Trim-56, Date-O4H, Trans-4, Axel-5. 

The interior is decent and original.  Carpet is old but the seats are pretty good.  OK door panels and dash.  Guages are readable.  The seats are comfortable. 

This is a fairly rare car and if improved some, could be a real neat cruiser.  Feel free to ask any questions.  Please call the owner, Ray, at 515-290-9060.  Sold in as-is condition.  Personal inspection available.

Ford recalls 650,000 trucks and SUVs for defective wipers

Thu, Apr 21 2022

Ford announced earlier this month that it is recalling 652,996 F-Series pickups, Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators produced for the 2020 and 2021 model years to address an issue that may cause their windshield wipers to separate, reducing visibility and leading to potentially hazardous driving conditions.  According to the Blue Oval, one of its suppliers used worn tooling components that resulted in wiper arms being produced with splines that are not tall enough to fully engage the motor pivots they're mounted to, which can cause the connection to strip when the motors are turned on. This could result in the wiper arms not moving at all, or engaging only intermittently.  "Worn wiper arm spline tooling core inserts at the supplier resulted in insufficient spline tooth height, which can cause the arm attachment to strip when used with a certain wiper motors with higher torque," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "Potential symptoms include erratic or slow wipe speed of the driver or passenger wiper arm. An improper functioning wiper arm may potentially result in reduced visibility in certain conditions, which could increase the risk of a crash." Ford says the vehicles were not produced in VIN order, so while not all of the nearly 653,000 vehicles have bad wiper arms, they're all suspect until proven safe. Ford will notify owners of the recall campaign starting in May.  Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
