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 hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
Scroll down for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.

Inside the Ford GT's interior

Mon, Mar 23 2015

Ford has crafted a simple yet high-tech interior for the GT supercar, which has been on display at auto shows around the world this year. The instrument panel has a two-tier design with a floating wing. There are soft-touch materials and carbon fiber, which also is used for the passenger cell. Still, the GT's interior has been shrouded in more mystery than the rest of the car. To cast some light on the GT's cabin, we caught up with Ford design vice president Moray Callum, who explained the ins and outs of the future icon's interior. Put simply, "there's not a lot of excess materials," Callum said. But what is there is pretty cool. In case you haven't heard, Ford plans to launch the GT in 2016. It will run a mid-mounted twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and make extensive use of carbon fiber for the body structure. Related Video:

Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
