The Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner (Retractable) is a two-door American full-size car with a retractable hardtop which was produced by Ford in the United States for the model years 1957, 1958 and 1959.

In 1959 the model name changed to Ford Galaxie Skyliner very shortly after the production of 1959 models had started.

The retractable roof mechanism - also known as "Hide-Away Hardtop" - was unique to Ford branded products, and was not offered on Continental, Lincoln, Mercury, or Edsel branded vehicles during this time period.

The Ford Skyliner Retractable was only the second car in history to be series produced with a retractable hardtop; the first to reach four and five digit production numbers, and the first series produced coupé convertible to feature a roof composed of more than one segment.

Part of the Ford Fairlane 500 range, the Skyliner had a complex mechanism which folded the front of the roof and retracted it under the rear decklid.

No hydraulic mechanisms were used as in regular convertibles of the era.

The Skyliner top has seven reversible electric motors (only six for 1959 models ), four lift jacks, a series of relays, ten limit switches, ten solenoids, four locking mechanisms for the roof and two locking mechanisms for the trunk lid, 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‑US (17 L/100 km; 17 mpg‑imp) overall.

The fuel tank was placed vertically in back of 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 Ford's full-size range and the Skyliner model was absorbed into that series.

Although the 1959 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 292CID 2-barrel 200 hp V8.

At the time of its introduction, the Skyliner was the only true hardtop convertible in the world.

Today, it has become a collectible car.

The design attracted more attention than sales; the option was expensive, suspected to be unreliable, and took up almost all the trunk space when retracted.

It required the roof to be made shorter than the other Fords, and the trunk to be larger.

This was because the design was originally to be a Continental coupe.

The solid roof pillar of the Skyliner is the similar to the appearance of 2nd generation Ford Thunderbirds of 1958-1960.

The following engines, all V8s, were available on the Fairlane 500 Skyliner.

Two manual transmissions, a three-speed and three-speed with overdrive were available, as well as three-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission.

Starting in 1958, Cruise-O-Matic was added, which provided a second "drive" range ("D2"), allowing for an intermediate gear start.

The Skyliner name had been used by Ford on earlier models, namely the Crestline Skyliner of 1954 and the Fairlane Crown Victoria Skyliners of 1955 and 1956.

These models have a two-door hardtop body style with a clear acrylic glass roof panel over the front seats.

Spotlight - 2010 Ford F150, 4" Lift, 22x10 -25's, and 35's - Duration: 5:34.

- Hey y'all, Fuller again with Custom Offsets,

Custom Offsets TV on the YouTube,

we had a customer swing by the shop today,

brought his 2010 F-150, it's a Harley-Davidson edition,

riding on Forces and 35s, let's go.

(dramatic music)

(hydraulics elevating) (metal clang)

(metal clinks) (buzzing)

(trap music)

Alright guys, like I said, 2010 F-150,

this is the Harley-Davidson edition,

so she is pretty tricked out.

As you can see, it's lifted up

about four inches in the front,

and that is from the Dirt Logic coilovers up here,

so you get about four inches of lift there,

and then he also went in and put the Fabtech Uniball

Upper Control Arms in as well,

and you can see this is a reservoir here for the coilover,

so this truck rides absolutely beautiful,

wheels and tires, you already know these are Forces,

you've seen 'em before, but these things

look absolutely killer on this truck.

These are the American Force Zero SS,

is what they're called,

so you see it's kinda like a big flat face

to this wheel, looks super killer,

he's got the black center cap,

I really like the contrast there,

with this black truck, as well as the spike lugnuts.

And it does have the milling around the outside,

and kind of some nice depth here to this wheel,

so you got the face, and then it's milled back as well.

We'll give you a quick lip test, this is a -25 offset,

American Force does it a little bit differently

than the rest of the guys, so you can see,

if you go right to the edge,

you're getting right around that,

almost five and a 1/2 inch lip on there, so,

pretty good for a 10-wide.

Tires are the Nitto Ridge Grappler,

and this is a 35 by 1250,

so that's 35 tall, and 12 and a 1/2 wide, so you can see,

you do get a little bit of bulging on the side,

just enough to protect this from curbs,

you know, if you happen to bump against one,

but, you know, nothing major there.

Real nice look.

As far as stance goes, you can see sticking out,

these are the factory painted flares,

probably right around that two and a 1/2 to three inches,

little bit more, so as you come down the bumper,

'cause that curves back in.

Trimming wise up front, we'll give you a peek in here.

It's just the plastic of the bumper

in the lower valence, just a little bit,

and this was done by somebody else, not by us,

but you can see it's just trimmed there.

Just a hair.

Out back, it looks like it's not trimmed,

but you can see that it's been rubbing

just a hair on the back of this flare.

So you could pop those off, or,

you just cut out the plastic there,

and you'd be all set.

Walking out back,

obviously, same wheel and tire,

no fitment issues here,

but he also has the 2.5 inch Dirt Logic Shocks

in the rear, the reservoirs in the rear, as well,

so overall, truck rides super nice with this.

It does also retain the factory brake,

so if you back up and take a look at the truck,

you'll see that the front does sit

a hair lower, than the rear, so,

if you're doing any towing,

I notice he does have a hitch on here,

so if you've got a boat, or something like that,

this is, you know, set up that you'll sit

nice and level while towing.

This is all factory stuff here,

with the Harley-Davidson badge on the side,

you can see, just nice,

you know, that's chrome,

wheels being polished, looks really sharp.

We'll walk out back,

got the Magnaflow Dual Exhaust on here as well.

And then the Harley-Davidson emblems

all the way around the truck.

Give you a quick peek at the interior.

This truck is super clean.

I absolutely love these seats too,

very sharp looking truck.

He's got a stereo system in here as well,

got a couple of 12-inch subs, so she really pounds,

and then lastly, these running boards

are also the powered steps,

so you see those go up there.

Absolutely killer truck, really love it,

it's got some custom graphic work on the side there too,

and just overall, like I said, really clean truck.

Rounding up the front, you can see

he's got the paint to match the bumper,

and then, the headlights are factory,

but Ford offers a couple different options,

these are like the black housing ones,

so it just looks really sharp on this truck.

And he's got the 50-cal antenna as well.

So that about rounds it out,

that's your 2010 F-150 sittin' on some Forces and 35s,

so if you guys like it, make sure you like us on Facebook,

and subscribe on YouTube, peace.

2018 Ford Expedition Max 4x4 - Duration: 5:29.

At railroad crossings, freight trains stop for it out of professional courtesy.

It's called Max because if it were any larger, it wouldn't fit through the Panama Canal.

Though its body is made from aluminum, it's a Platinum because Ford is ironic.

And it has 10 forward gears like an old Schwinn Varsity.

Everything about the 2018 Expedition Max Platinum 4x4 tested here emphasizes the SUV's size.

The switch to aluminum reduces mass (a bit), but as with the F-150, Ford doesn't want

anyone thinking the Expedition is wimpy.

As if anyone ever could.

This isn't just a full-size SUV, it's a 6047-pound psychological-distortion event.

HIGHS Turbo lug without turbo lag, brilliant transmission,

room for ballroom dancing.

LOWS Conservative interior design, bulldozer handling,

and shouldn't it weigh less?

The Max is the Suburban to the regular Expedition's Tahoe—the 131.6-inch wheelbase and 221.9-inch

overall length outstretch the not-a-Max's by 9.1 and 11.9 inches, respectively.

Its additional length doesn't change the commodious lounging area for the seven passengers,

but the rear doors are longer for better access to the third row, and there are an additional

15 cubic feet of storage space.

Chevy's Suburban goes 130.0 inches on the wheelbase and 224.3 inches overall.

Most of the Expedition's new body is shared with its opulent brother, the Lincoln Navigator.

And the suspension design and steel ladder frame have only slightly evolved since an

independent rear suspension was adopted for the 2003 model year.

The sole engine in the new Expedition is the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6, which is

rated at 375 horsepower on regular fuel in lower trims and at 400 premium-swilling horses

in the Platinum model.

But it's the new 10-speed automatic transmission that's a buffet of mechanical goodness.

As in the F-150 (and other Ford and GM products), this is a smart, decisive gearbox that sticks

with a gear when it should and doesn't distractingly hunt for the next cog at every opportunity.

Its behavior is particularly impressive when towing; its downshifts on grades are quick

and precise, never jerking the trailer.

The full-zoot Expedition uses the first three gears to steam from zero to 60 mph in only

5.9 seconds and crosses the quarter-mile in 14.6 seconds at 94 mph in fifth.

The Platinum trim is swollen with 480 pound-feet of peak torque by 3250 rpm, but keep the engine

boiling with boost and it'll suck down a gallon of fuel every 14 miles, as ours did.

By the EPA's methodology, the Max matches the Suburban in combined fuel economy, at

18 mpg.

Use the push-button all-wheel-drive system and it'll yank a Bayliner up a mossy boat

ramp just fine; when equipped with the Heavy Duty Trailer Tow package, its 9000-pound tow

rating is more than a match for the bow rider's heft.

Inside, the rotary shifter is mounted flat on the center console—taking up nearly as

much space as a conventional shifter would.

So what's the point?

Compared with the Navigator's, the ExMaxPlat's interior is conservative, with more conventional

controls and a smaller infotainment display screen.

There's a rough-hewn feel to some plastic pieces that are more work-truckish than luxury

liner.

And while the seats are covered in acres of inconsistent-quality leather, at least the

seating surfaces are well shaped.

It's all old-school, last-century design while its Lincoln brother has nudged itself

into the 21st century.

There's nothing thrilling about this big beast's driving dynamics.

The Max's ride is on par with that of the GM alternatives, but the ute's steering

is keeping secrets, its 285/45R-22 Hankook Dynapro HT tires aren't that tenacious,

and it doesn't carve corners as much as hack at them with a fire ax.

And with an as-tested price over $84,000, it's some $13,500 beyond the starting cost

of the better-driving but admittedly smaller Mercedes-­Benz GLS450.

Aesthetically and conceptually, the Expedition Max is boldly American.

It's a throwback truck among ever more attractive crossovers.

But if you need what it does, it does those things well.
