Vehicle Description
This 1959 Ford Galaxie is an interesting blend of survivor and
restomod. You see it everywhere, including the two-tone paint,
stock interior now with A/C, and a big V8 backed up by four-wheel
disc brakes. And best of all, this attractive mix is all offered at
an obtainable price.
This is the ultimate classic for many of us. 1959 was the
introduction of the top-of-the-line Galaxie trim. The Fairlane line
already carried a lot of design cues from its square Thunderbird
relative. And the Galaxie was the special model that gives you its
roofline, too. We love the design cues from this model like the
flat front that looks even wider thanks to the quad headlight
package. Plus, the arched tailfins run the entire back half of the
car and meet up with the jet-inspired taillights. Because this is
the top trim, the amount of chrome on this car can just about be
described in acres. The most impressive piece of this brightwork is
the sweeping profile that artfully follows the design lines from
headlight to tailfin. It provides the perfect separation line for
the two-tone Adriatic Green and white paint. In fact, the two
colors here show a cool bit of history. This car is six decades
old, and the white top half is believed to be factory original.
While this carries the history well, the green portion has been
repainted to show what a cool glossy classic cruiser looks like.
That's pretty cool, right?
Owning a cool looking cruiser also means a coordinating interior.
So the sea of green is continued on the inside. And the white
returns for accenting on places like the classic steering wheel.
This is a highly original interior. The dials remain clear and the
trim remains bright, which you don't often see on classics that are
well-past the half-century mark. So people who appreciate cool and
genuine vintage cars will love going for a ride in this Galaxie.
And because this is a full-sized Ford, you have plenty of room for
everyone across the two rows of wide benches. Plus, the upgraded to
cold-blowing R134a air conditioning means everyone stays
comfortable.
When you look under the hood of a full-sized Ford, you expect to
see plenty of motor, and this one doesn't disappoint. It has the
correct B-code block, and in fact, the 332 cubic-inch V8 is
believed to be original to the car. But you can also see they
upgraded the flair on this one with newer bold blue block paint, an
Edelbrock shining air topper, and matching valve covers. Plus,
there are nice useful upgrades, such as the billet pulleys and
aluminum radiator. The V8 power makes a sweet sound out of the
glasspack-style dual exhaust. And so it's the kind of classic
you'll love driving. Enhancing this experience even more is the
ease of the three-speed automatic transmission and the upgrade to
four-wheel disc brakes for extra confidence.
This first-year Galaxie combines survivor-style classic elements
with all the best upgrades. It's a terrific blend, that you'll want
to get your hands on right now. Call today!!!
