Vehicle Description
This is the car for those who wants a bit of fun with their
classics. After all, a 1959 Ford Galaxie dressed in full police
livery is the kind of car that's going to get you invited to
everything from parades to charity events.
A '59 Galaxie is already a pretty desirable car even before it was
turned into a nostalgia police machine. After all, it was the first
year for this top-of-the-line full-size name. It's true post-war
styling with an extra wide grille, jet-inspired taillights, and a
wraparound windshield & back window. Plus, you'll love the details
like the full-length trim line that that highlights the sporty
kick-up at the rear. And only heightening this vintage appeal is
the livery of the Pinellas County Sheriff. Nothing beats the sound
of the old-school mechanical siren. Plus, with the service-grade
black & white paint, gumball light, and sheriff badges on the door
all remind you of a time when solving a crime meant returning a
homemade pie.
Inside, the taut black vinyl seats and newer black carpeting do a
great job of keeping this looking cop-correct while still being
fresh. We doubt you'll be carting around any offenders in the back,
but this full-sized Ford has plenty of room to carry family and
friends when it's parade time. It's a little hard not to feel like
Barney Fife the moment you slip behind the classic Ford steering
wheel and gaze at all the classic instruments and controls for the
police siren and intercom.
Under the hood is Ford's trusty 223 cubic-inch straight six. Not
only is this correct motor for an A-code car like this, but it also
has the right features like the red valve cover and side air
grabber. But despite being quite period-correct, you'll also see
the right signs of care and maintenance like the newer hoses and
Optima red top battery. That's why this one starts easily and idles
nicely. And while some modern cop cars will be able to provide a
little hotter pursuit, you'll be surprised how much fun and control
you have with his one's three-on-the tree column-shifted manual
transmission.
Here's an attention-grabbing classic with very affordable price.
You're not the only one who is tempted by this Galaxie's authority,
so hurry up and call today!
