1955 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan 2 door. 272 V8 4 barrel carburetor, 2 speed automatic transmission, factory dual exhaust, power steering, power seat, day / night rear view mirror, and deluxe antenna. This car is 58 years old and in very good condition for it's age but needs and deserves a quality ground up restoration. The reason this car is in such good condition is that it was purchased new and owned by a Ford dealership mechanic for all but 7 years of it's life, and during 5 of those years he still maintained it when brought in for service. This Fairlane for the most part has sat in storage since the mid 60's. It was sold new and remained within 30 miles of the same north eastern small Kansas town it's entire life. The body is amazingly straight, and from a magnet check appears to only have minimal bondo above both rear wheel arches. The car has had a repaint and lets just say that it is less than quality, from 20' away the car looks good but up close there are a few runs some checking, some thin spots and some bare metal. There is through rust in both rockers, and there is some bubbling and minimal through rust low in both quarters. The exterior trim although not perfect is in very nice condition. The bumpers are straight, but do need to be re-plated. All of the glass is intact, but the windshield is cracked, and the drivers door glass is cracked, the rest of the glass is nice. The interior is actually the worst part of the car, it is all there and intact but, 58 years old and needs to be replaced from the headliner to the carpet. The dash is very nice with everything is in it's place as it should be. A set of 3 Stewart Warner gauges, an AM/FM radio and a speaker have been added below the dash. The floors are brown and crusty looking on the belly and from what you can see under the carpet, but appear to still be solid with no soft spots. The trunk floor is solid. The car is still wearing it's original 15" wheels and original full wheel covers which are in decent shape, but the tires are a mismatched set of bias ply, radial, and snow tires, but they do all hold air. The odometer reads 41,594, but I have no documentation to verify if it is actual or not. The last time this Fairlane was started and moved under it's own power was about 5 years ago, but has not been on the road since the 60's. The engine will still turn over and is not seized up, the engine appears to be original with it's oil bath air cleaner, original 4 barrel carburetor, and did you notice the plastic windshield washer bag, how many of those have you seen lately?. If you like these old Fairlanes and are looking for one to restore, I would think this one would be a good candidate, with a great base to build on, it is complete, will not have you chasing down a lot parts and has not been molested or abused as many were. A good Missouri title will be furnished with the car. I have tried to describe this car to the best of my ability but have probably missed something that you need to know if so just ask. If you would like to inspect this car is person prior to the end of the auction again just ask and arrangements will be made. The car is currently not running or road worthy and will need to be hauled to it's new home and the winning bidder will be responsible for all transportation costs if required. Thanks for looking, if you are interested good luck in the bidding and have a great day.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief

Thu, 29 May 2014

The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
