DESCRIPTION
:  THESE HUGE LATE '50s FORD SKYLINER HINGES WERE IN THE TRUNK OF A '60 T-BIRD MY FRIEND AND I PURCHASED ABOUT 27 YEARS AGO.  THANKS TO AN EBAYER'S HELP, I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT JUST WHAT THEY FIT (i.e., '57 - '59 SKYLINERS).  THEY DO HAVE THE OLD OVAL FORD LOGO ON THEM AND THEY'RE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE (JUST LIGHT SURFACE RUST).  BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN OFF THE VEHICLE FOR DECADES, THE SPRINGS ARE NOT STRETCHED OUT.  SINCE I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PERSONALLY VALIDATE THE INTERCHANGEABILITY, I WILL CAUTIOUSLY INVOKE THE CAVEAT EMPTOR CLAUSE.  EDUCATED GUESSES ONLY MADE HERE.  YOU MUST VERIFY THAT THESE ARE FOR THE '57 '58 & '59 SKYLINER YEARS.  PLEASE NOTE THAT - IN THE 5TH PHOTO FROM THE LEFT - THE ARMS OF THE HINGES SEEM A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN HEIGHT ABOVE THE TABLE.  I DON'T SEE ANYTHING BENT OR DENTED, AND EACH HUGE HINGE "PIN" HAS ALMOST THE EXACT AMOUNT OF PLAY (12" AWAY FROM PIN CENTER, ABOUT 1/4" PLAY - FAIRLY TAUT!)  

*****OTHER PARTS*****:  I ALSO HAVE THE THICK METAL CANTILEVER STRAPS OR "HINGE BRACES", PRESUMABLY FOR THE ROOFLINE THAT FOLDS UP ON THESE SAME SKYLINERS).   PLEASE INQUIRE BY EMAILING OR CALLING ME.  I THINK THAT I HAVE A COMPLETE SET OF THESE...

Nissan BladeGlider EV Sports Car Concept for Tokyo Motor Show

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

The Nissan BladeGlider EV Sports Car Concept (pictured) will debut at the Tokyo Motor Show Nissan are trying to push the envelope for road-going electric cars with the BladeGlider electric car concept that will debut at the Tokyo Motor Show this month and looks – at least in some form – to be heading for production. Inspired by the aero industry – and taking inspiration from Nissan’s DeltWing Project – the BladeGlider gets a very narrow front track and a much wider rear, wrapped in carbon fibre reinforced plastic with an interior that offers a 1+2 seating arrangement. Nissan say the extremely narrow front track reduces drag and enhances manoeuvrability for extreme cornering, and its 30/70 rear-biased weight distribution could give plenty of tail-out fun.

"All the workers and employees have been allowed to join their families" Ferrari said on its Twitter account.

New Infiniti Q50 2.0 litre Turbo – Price from £31,755

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

New Infiniti Q50 2.0 litre Turbo costs from £31,755 The Infiniti Q50 should be Infiniti’s best chance to convince buyers Infiniti is a viable option in the premium sector and a sensible alternative to the BMW 3 Series. That perception will be helped – a bit – by the arrival of the Infinito Q50 with another engine option, this one a 2.0 litre Turbo petrol with 211 bhp, which comes with a seven-speed automatic as standard. Oddly, Infiniti are shy of delivering any performance or economy data for the new 2.0 litre Turbo, so we’re guessing the figures don’t really impress too much.
