Vehicle Description
This 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Skyliner is a beautifully
frame-off restored retractable that is fully loaded and ready to
roll. In 1959, Ford completely re-designed its product offerings.
From the flatter front fenders housing the dual headlights and the
flatter-looking hoods to the rear fenders with molded back-up
lights, the '59 Ford was deemed one of the most beautiful Fords
ever built, even winning the Gold Medal for Exceptional Styling at
the Brussels World Fair. 1959 was also the first year for the
top-of-the-line Galaxie trim available on Fords, having taken
inspiration for the "Galaxie" moniker from all of the excitement
surrounding the Space Race at the time. Of the nearly half million
Galaxies produced by Ford in 1959, only 12,915 were the Skyliner
model which makes this particular vehicle quite rare. This
particular Galaxie Skyliner underwent a complete frame-off
restoration and is in exceptional condition. Under the hood on this
classic Ford retractable is a 352 Cubic Inch V8 engine with a
Single 4 Barrel Carburetor, a combination that pushed out 300
horsepower back in 1959. The 352 Ford V8 is hooked up to a 3-Speed
Cruise-O-Matic Automatic Transmission that makes driving this
gorgeous '59 Skyliner an absolute joy. This particular '59 Galaxie
is extremely well-optioned under the hood with factory power
steering and upgraded power brakes with a dual master cylinder. The
Torch Red and Colonial White two-tone exterior paint on this
Skyliner is in stellar condition and is exactly how this Skyliner
was ordered back in 1959. The matching Skyliner retractable
convertible top is also finished in a matching Torch Red and goes
up and down easily with the simple push of a button. This 1959
Skyliner sits on 4 wide whitewall radial tires with Thunderbird
wheel covers with Sunray emblems, that give this Ford a truly
classy look. A rear mounted continental kit gives this '59 Galaxie
an elevated 50s exterior look. The interior in this 1959 Ford is
stunning! The bench seats are covered in Torch Red and White Vinyl,
along with the Black fabric inserts, all of which appear to be in
terrific condition and are protected under plastic seat covers. The
interior is also superbly well-optioned, with power windows that
work great and Factory SelectAire air conditioning neatly tucked
under the dash. The factory AM radio has since been upgraded to a
newer stock-looking AM/FM system so that you can listen to all of
your tunes while cruising down the road. The instrument cluster is
in its stock configuration and features an 120 MPH Speedometer,
temperature gauge, and gas gauge. This Galaxie Skyliner is also
outfitted with dual side spotlights and an under-dash tissue
dispenser, to complete that classic 50s look. Whether you're
looking for your very first classic Ford or you're adding to your
existing collection, this 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Skyliner
would make an excellent choice. Give us a call today!
