Here are some more information for Ford Mopar Vintage:
The fifties were the time when big things were happening on the automotive scene. Corvette was being unveiled. The Nash Healy was on the list of things to buy and the era of the 50's hot rods was in full swing.
Aside from the sports cars, some of the other more popular hot rods were also coming out in full bore from the assembly lines. Popping off the assembly, along came the Mopar, all of which were typical 50's hot rods, from the 1954 Dodge that was the Indianapolis 500 Pace Car that year, up to the 1958 Plymouth Fury with its back fins reminiscent of the sharks that were also making the news that year.
The cars that were designed in the fifties were not quite street rods, but they weren't far off. Street rods were common, but they were spin offs, and the bigger more powerful cars of the fifties were nearly all hot rods. They were big and bold and a power of their own.
50's hot rods were power cars. Big and bold, sleek and clean, they had more power than most cars today and were not in any way shape or form considered to be compact. They were huge, and took up half the road quite easily. They were a force to be reckoned with t and they were definitely not environmentally designed. These guys were gas guzzlers, but the simple truth was that gas was cheap, the cars were no more than a couple thousand for a new one, and in an era when gas was about 25 cents a gallon so no one really cared if your use of it was excessive.
Chevy and Ford also had their answer to the hot rods that were the prevailing cars. The Chevy Nomad was one of the most wanted cars of the fifties, while Ford came back with their own version of the street rod and the 50's hot rods by offering their own bold new car to add to the fray. The Skyliner and the Fairlane were both bold and big and had a sleek sports car look and could literally fly with the power of their larger motors.
Each of the major car makers had their own version of the sports car and the 50's hot rods and each of them was sure that theirs was the best. In the end, all of them achieved a loyal following that lasts to this very day, with nearly every classic car fan wanting a fifties car of some variety or another.

Preliminary Sales Results at Barrett-jackson Collector Car Event
Barrett-Jackson, one of the leading companies that provide products and services to classic and collector car owners and the producer of "World’s Greatest Collector Car Events" has recently made history with the sale of the new 2007 Ford Shelby GT-H Convertible "Rent-A-Racer". Unveiled by Carroll Shelby and Mark Fields, Executive Vice President of Ford Motor Company, the Ford Shelby GT-H Convertible draws the crowd at the 5th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event in Palm Beach at the South Florida Expo Center. Along with the Ford Shelby GT-H, the exclusive Foose Coupe was also one of the stars at the auction event.
The 2007 Ford Shelby GT-H Convertible, one of the first units of Ford Mustang GT-H convertibles modified by Shelby Automobiles was sold for $250,000. The amount will go to charitable institutions. According to Ford, the Ford Shelby GT-H Convertible is the first vehicle model that has been unveiled outside a major automotive show, and sold at the same day.
Meanwhile, a unique Foose Coupe equipped with Mopar Hemi V8 engine was sold for a whopping $330,000. The winning bidder will have a private session with Chip Foose to personalize the car like choosing exterior and interior colors and adding optional components.
Other vehicle models auctioned in the event include several vintage Corvettes, a 1957 Bel Air convertible, a rare 1969 Shelby GT500, 1988 Rolls-Royce Corniche II convertible, an exclusive 2003 Panoz Esperante, 1966 Amphicar 770, 1959 Morgan Plus 4 roadster, and a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle 2-door sedan equipped with VW strut insert.
“We also had a wonderful moment just before a specially designed Cadillac CTS Sport Sedan that once belonged to Sir Paul McCartney was sold with proceeds benefiting the Darrell Gwynn Foundation." said Steve Davis, President of Barrett-Jackson
“Darrell personally delivered a pink wheelchair to three-year-old Lana Rubin on the stage. That gift was made possible through the kindness of enthusiasts and it was moving to see the generosity of the people who are part of this hobby. And when the Cadillac sold, Barrett-Jackson matched the $60,000 winning bid, totaling $120,000 to the charity.” he added.
