Looking for an original 1955 Ford that hasn't been altered in anyway and been in the same family since late 1954? Up for sale is a 1955 Ford Town Sedan ----All Original Survivor ----black and white with green inside---Never repainted factory original!!!!!--First, the car is NOT running, and has been in storage INSIDE since 1979. 6 months ago it was moved to my drive-way, and it sits today. The car has the original paint, interior, chrome and stainless still on the car--- it's ALL THERE. One emblem on the trunk is bent (Ford-o-matic) but could be fixed if new one can't be found. The original hub caps are included (tires are going flat), no cracked or missing glass, original tube AM radio, and a dash that's in truly amazing shape for its age. The body is in strong shape, with some damage in the rocker panel under the doors on the driver's side----this is NOT a rust bucket and I have not seen any rust on the car popping up---always been a So-Cal auto since DAY 1 in the Los Angeles area---has 1963 black plates. Has ONLY 89,900 original miles!!!

Power plant is a 272 Y-Block V8 that was rebuilt in the mid 1960's by my grandmother and hasn't been messed with since. I believe this is the 182 hp 4bbl version, but will need to confirm. This 1955 Ford is an automatic (Ford-O-Matic) trans, and is a 6 volt auto---it could be switched over to 12 volt easily during restoration.

This is a restoration project car---but all the bones are here to make this a sweet looking original----could be on the road with about $2000 (tran rebuilt, tires, tail pipe)--hate to sell this, but I just don't have the time to put into this car----looking to sell it to a good home----If you're looking for a classic 50's car that's never been messed with for a great price, this 1955 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan is for you.

UPDATE:

The car's interior is original, but is not in great shape --it's torn in sections---been like that since the mid 1970's. There is a set of green seat covers that was placed on the car sometime in the late 1960's, and they have been on since then. Some of the cloth molding is worn and the drives door panel has torn in the cloth section. As I said, it's all original and never altered---so the car can return back to day one stock (since nothing has been removed) or custom the car out.

The paint does have chips, scratches all over the car, but this was a daily driver up until 1979 when it went into storage---the car seen about 25 years or wear and then stored. As for rust---I've been getting questions about that---looking around the car, I'm seeing no rust popping up on the body. The car was stored inside for 33 years, so it wasn't sitting out in the elements.

The door locks, truck and ignition keys will need to be replace.

Ford to kick off F-150 campaign during College Football Playoff

Tue, Dec 30 2014

The long-awaited inaugural College Football Playoff will feature the nation's best college teams, with the Oregon Ducks taking on the Florida State Seminoles, and Alabama Crimson Tide facing some team from Ohio. On top of that, though, it'll also see the launch of the very first advertising campaign for the 2015 Ford F-150. Viewers from across the country will see a trio of ads featuring the all-aluminum truck, with two half-minute spots and a full 60-second commercial, all voiced by Denis Leary, touting the F-150's feature set and towing capacity, but passing on mentioning the new truck's class-leading fuel economy. That, Automotive News reports, isn't a miscue by Ford. The company simply didn't have enough time between the EPA's fuel economy announcement and the 2014-2015 Bowl Season to prepare a spot. Expect plenty on the F-150's fuel efficiency in future spots. Interestingly, though, AN is reporting future F-150 advertising won't include a Super Bowl appearance. Ford has made the decision to focus its new truck ads on college football rather than during the NFL championship. "From our point of view, there's no bigger stage to debut the F-150 creative than the College Football Playoff," Keith Koeppen, Ford's US marketing communications boss, told AN. "It's so closely aligned with the passions of our customer." It's those passions that are pushing Ford to kick off its ad campaign for a new truck so much earlier. Speaking to AN, Doug Scott, Ford's truck marketing manager, said that the automaker typically doesn't begin ad campaigns until its dealers have at least a fifty-fifty mix of old and new models, but that it's pushing the 2015 F-150's ads to fit with the college football playoffs. While Ford's focus is on the two semifinal playoff games on New Year's Day and the National Championship Game on January 12, the ads will actually air for the first time on New Year's Eve, when the TCU Horned Frogs face off against the Ole Miss Rebels in the Peach Bowl. The three spots will also be shown during other bowl games, as well.

Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
