Available for auction is a driver quality 1963 Ford Fairlane 500. This vehicle presents itself very well, in a mostly original condition, rust free body and undercarriage with a tastefully appointed interior, period correct for this classic. Runs and drives great, shifts through all gears and the brakes stop the car promptly. This vehicle was a daily driver for many years, always garage kept, which explains the outstanding shape of all the chrome, body and under carriage. Recently fluids/filters were changed, and is driving just like it had in 1963 Interior The interior
looks outstanding with no tears in the seats, Gauge cluster is in great shape,
as well as all the dash components. The
dash pad is in great shape with one minor tear.
Door panels are in great shape, arm rests show some aging, but still
functional. The headliner is in driver
quality form, and has a few separations in the stitching, not hanging down, but
could get re-stitched. The original steering wheel was replaced;
however the original steering wheel is in the trunk. All windows roll up and
down smooth, doors open and close solid. All interior lights are in working
order to include: dome light, under dash courtesy lights, gauge cluster lights,
headlight indicator on gauge cluster & turn signal indicator. The radio works well with and in dash cassette
player, but also is equipped with a multi- disc CD player in the trunk. Exterior All
following exterior lights are in working order: Headlights, taillights, brake
lights and turn signals. The paint
appears to be original; the original door tag is present along with the
original jacking instructions sticker still intact in the trunk. All chrome is present and in excellent
condition. The body is laser straight,
with minor imperfections of a few paint chips on the nose of the vehicle and infrequently
along the length of the car. Also
present are slight paint color variations in a few spots, the body is smooth and in excellent shape. This vehicle is represented as a driver quality
classic, showing extremely well overall. Motor/Transmission The original
engine this Fairlane came stock from the factory with was a V8 221 cubic inch,
which was replaced with a strong
running/powerful 302. The 302 is paired with a C4 automatic
transmission that does have a very small leak. The engine compartment and motor are ultra
detailed with dual mufflers exiting at the rear of the car. The heater is functional and plumbed
accordingly. Undercarriage The
undercarriage of this Fairlane is solid. The frame rails/floor pans/torque
boxes have never seen a repair and are presented in original condition.
Overall this is an outstanding vehicle that shows very well in the current condition. Offered in driver quality condition, this car would need very little to be a candidate for further restoration bringing it to excellent show stopper appearance, or drive it as is and enjoy the thumbs up as you cruise down the road. Being sold locally as well, this auction may end at any time. In person vehicle inspections are welcomed and encouraged as I may have missed minor details. I have described the condition/quality of the vehicle to the best of my ability. (See Video). The car is offered in as is condition with no warranty offered or implied.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year
Fri, 11 Jan 2013With 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.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
