1959 Fairlane Sunliner Convertible on 2040-cars
Carriere, Mississippi, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible. This car requires
total restoration. It's mostly complete however it will require a hood, radiator,
automatic transmission and driveshaft as they were removed by the previous
owner. I bought it to restore however due to other priorities I didn't want to
postpone it's restoration any further so I decided make it available for a new owner.
The car has rust in the floor and lower areas of the body but sheet metal parts are readily available for repair. The exact interior is also available from Lebaron & Bonney to restore the car to it's original state. This car seems to have the original paint color although it may have been painted at some point because the white on the top side was painted over. The also engine, carburetor, and interior with most of the trim and all glass is in tact. Because of the age of the car, I do not believe that the mileage on the odometer is actual. It may have be 125k. The rear seat bottom no longer has a seat cover however the springs are all there and in good condition.. The doors are tight against the door jams on both sides and I haven't tried opening them since I purchased the car. The car will come with a bill of sale but no title. The car will need to be towed as it is not running. This is not a parts car so please do not inquire about selling parts off of it and please do not bid unless you intend to buy. I will do my best to answer any questions so please feel free to email me prior to bidding. Of course, you are welcomed to set up an appointment to look at the car or have an inspector do so for you. Buyer is responsible for shipping.

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
