RARE 1957 FORD SKYLINER WITH ONLY 64,000 DOUCUMENTED MILES! THIS CAR IS A MILESTONE CAR AND EVERYTHING WORKS.

IT WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 1957 BY A GERMAN IMMIGRANT WHO WORKED IN A MACHINE SHOP IN WISCONSIN. HE NEVER OWNED A CAR BUT WAS FASCINATED BY THE MECHANICS OF THE WORLD'S FIRST HARDTOP COVERTABLE. THE DAY HE RETIRED HE WENT DOWN TO THE FORD DEALER AND PAID CASH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR HAD CLEAR VINYL SEAT COVERS INSTALLED AND DROVE IT TO FLORIDA WHERE IT HAS REMAINED FOR THE LAST 56 YEARS! I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 1979 AND THE ONLY REASON I HAD IT PAINTED WAS THE OLD MAN HAD WAXED IT SO MUCH THE PRIMER WAS SHOWING THROUGH. I HAD IT PAINTED THE ORIGINAL TWO/TONE DRESEN BLUE & COLONIAL WHITE I ALSO HAD THE REAR BUMPER RECROMED. THE CLEAR SEAT COVERS WERE SO YELLOWED I HAD THEM REMOVED AND SHOWED THE CAR DURING THE 1980'S AND WON SEVERAL CAR SHOWS. THIS CAR HAS NO RUST AND HAS NEVER SEEN SNOW!

IN 1994 AFTER MY WIFE'S UNTIMELY DEATH THE CAR WAS PUT IN DRY STORAGE UP ON BLOCKS WHERE IT REMAINED FOR 16 YEARS. IN 2012 IT WAS REMOVED FROM STORAGE AND THE BRAKES WERE DONE WITH NEW HOSES AND REBUILT WHEEL CYLINDERS A BRAND NEW HOLLY 4 BARREL CARBURATOR WAS INSTALLED ALONE WITH A NEW RADIATOR. THE DUAL EXHAUSTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW MUFFLERS AND ALUMINIZED CUSTOM PIPES. THE FRONT SEAT BOTTOM HAD SOME RIPS AND THE FOAM WAS STARTING TO DISINDEGRATE WITH AGE. I COULD NOT FIND ORIGINAL MATERIAL SO THE BOTTOM FRONT SEAT WAS REBUILT AND COVERED WITH BLUE VINYL FOR COMFORT AND SAFETY.

INCLUDED WITH THE CAR IS A BRAND NEW PAIR OF FOXCRAFT CRUSIER SKIRTS THAT I HAD PAINTED WITH THE CAR IN 1979 BUT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN INSTALLED!

JUST ADDED A PICTURE OF THE ORIGINAL BILL OF SALE, HE BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER 1957 AND THEY DISCOUNTED $1,400 DOLLARS BECAUSE IT WAS THE END OF THE MODEL YEAR AND HE PAID CASH!

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
