Vehicle Description
There's no better way to go out cruising than in a long and sleek
1959 Ford Galaxie 500 hardtop that has been given the proper care
to be a strong-running V8 coupe.
This is the ultimate classic for many of us. 1959 was the
introduction of the top-of-the-line Galaxie trim, and the later
upgrade to black paint gives this the style it deserves. 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 tail
fins run the entire back half of the car. 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 package is
the sweeping profile line that starts at the headlights and runs
all the way until it accents the start of the tailfin. And just
below it, the rear wheel well picks up some extra flair, too. Plus,
the way the rear bumper is notched to draw even more attention to
the afterburner-style taillights is pure '50s awesome excess. And
while the factory got the style right, this one even turns it up a
notch further with the custom billet-style grille and smoothie
wheel covers.
The interior has the kind of distinction that will have you rolling
down all the windows on this hardtop just so people can get a
closer look. After all, you have red, white, and black expertly
interwoven within the door panels, seats, dash, and carpeting. If
that triple-tone wasn't already enough you have the distinctive
cloth inserts within the seats! And with plenty of room for family
and friends, it's easy to share this distinctive look with
everyone. The dash makes sure to continue representing the era
correctly by keeping items like the AM radio and clock on display.
But the upgraded auxiliary gauge trio neatly integrated underneath
also mean this is made for cruising today.
The forward-tilting hood gives you an excellent view of the 292
cubic-inch V8. It also seems like they made a nice investment here
during the resonation to have it looking its best. There's a
repainted bold red block, shining valve covers, and a big air
topper that borrowed elements from both. So it's a well-coordinated
package that radiates from this dark black engine bay. More than
just an investment in making this look good, they also took the
time/money to keep this running strong. The V8 fires up readily,
idles nicely, and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly. So
yes, this sleek black coupe also has the right kind of V8 power to
let you enjoy the drive.
This is a first-ever Galaxie with the kind of classic presentation
that really makes you love its history. That's true classic
motoring. Call today!!!
