Vehicle Description
This 1959 Ford Galaxie was purchased new in Hazleton, Pennsylvania
on March 21st, 1959, and it remained in the original owner's family
until 2014. The car was always stored indoors, and has covered just
30,437 miles since new. It is in remarkable original condition and
retains 60% of the factory applied paint, as well as the original
seat covers, door panels, carpeting, and floor mat. The interior
surfaces show minimal wear, consistent with the miles, and the
entire car feels like a well maintained two year old automobile.
All of the switches, windows, and latches feel solid, with almost
no play or wear. The steering wheel retains its original white
paint, with a few spots just beginning to wear through after 30,000
miles. The current owner has inspected this car thoroughly, and
every part of it confirms the low mileage and excellent care it has
received since day one. The floors and trunk are solid, and still
retain their original paint under the carpeting and trunk mat. The
door panels are in superb condition, with virtually no wear on the
armrests, and no warping on the panels. All of the windows crank up
and down smoothly, and the side glass and windshield are original
with the Ford scripts. The weatherstripping is all original, and is
still soft, retained by the factory brush-on glue. The top well is
excellent, along with the original top boot (not shown in the
pictures, but included with purchase). The power top works very
well, with no known leaks in the hydraulics (one of the cylinders
was replaced two years ago). All of the lights are functional, and
the horn and wipers both work. The heater works well, along with
the original six tube AM radio. This car is equipped with the
desirable four barrel Thunderbird 352 V8, which was the largest
engine available in the Galaxie for 1959. It also has an automatic
transmission, but manual steering and brakes. This car was stored
for many years, and returned to the road in 2007 by the original
owner's
