Ford Galaxie Skyliner Take a
look at this beautiful 1959 Ford Galaxie Skyliner With Retractable Hard Top
brought to you by CARuso Classic Cars. This Rare Classic is in Excellent
Condition & Fully Functional!!! Equipped With Rare 352 Cubic V8 With 3 Speed
Automatic Transmission and Has Both Galaxie & Fairlane 500 Badging Which
Adds to its Value! The Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner is a full-size two-door
automobile with a retractable hardtop, which was produced by the Ford Motor
Company in the United States for the model years 1957, 1958 and 1959. Part of
the Ford Fairlane range, the Skyliner had a complex mechanism, which folded the
front of the roof and retracted it under the rear decklid. It had three roof
drive motors driving four lift jacks, four door-lock motors, ten solenoids,
four locking mechanisms for the roof, and a total of 610 ft. (185.9 m) of
wiring. The large top took up vast amounts of trunk space, limiting the car's
sales (however, unlike what most people believe, the mechanism had decent reliability).
Production totaled 20,766 units in 1957, declining to 14,713 in 1958 and to
12,915 in 1959. An electric clock was standard. Fuel consumption was around 14
mpg overall. The fuel tank was placed under the rear seat, which inadvertently
added safety in rear collisions. The wheelbase of the Skyliner was 118 in
(3,000 mm) and the overall length was 210.8 in (5,350 mm). During the 1959 model year the Galaxie series
was added to Fords full-size range and the Skyliner model was absorbed into
that series. Although the 59 Galaxie was designated as a separate series, Galaxies
carried both Fairlane 500 and Galaxie badging, on the rear and sides
respectively. It came with the standard with the 292CID 2-barrel 200 hp V8. At
the time of its introduction, the Skyliner was the only true hardtop
convertible in the world. Call Breeda for more details 508-944-2108.
This car will be showstopper at the weekly car shows. Thanks for
looking! Vehicle Condition

Hear the 2015 Mustang GT V8 roar for the first time
Wed, 26 Jun 2013Our combined knowledge of the 2015 Ford Mustang continues to deepen, as spy shooters have begun to compile video and audio of the upcoming sixth-generation car.
Case in point is this latest series of video clips, which not only gives us a great vantage point of the Mustang in motion, but also allows us to hear the Ford V8 engine and exhaust. After perusing the aural delights of this short video, which, admittedly, doesn't catch the Mustang GT at full song, we can at least say that the throaty exhaust isn't disappointing.
Chances are good that the 2015 Mustang GT will debut with some version of the current (and excellent) Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine, though we're unclear as to whether or not the motor has been massaged for its next-gen debut, or what may have been done to exhaust plumbing. At this point, we're just happy to hear the pony run. Scroll below to hear for yourself.

Autoblog Podcast #327:
Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
