Vehicle Description
This 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Sunliner is a gorgeous, frame
off restored 50s convertible that is ready for some serious summer
cruising. In 1959, the Ford Motor Company completely redesigned the
majority of its product offerings. The new-look '59 Fords were
understated, compared to the other Big Three American
manufacturers, yet the Fords were classy and elegant. In fact, the
1959 Fords won the Gold Medal for Exceptional Styling at the
Brussels World Fair and were deemed one of the most beautiful Fords
ever built. At the nose, the '59 Fords featured flatter-looking
hoods, new grilles and flatter front fenders housing a pair of dual
headlights on each side. Styling down the sides were also revised
with more refined trim than the previous years along with increased
body lines. At the rear, the new-look '59 Fords' rear fenders were
changed and incorporated molded back-up lights and a new taillight
design. Additionally in the late 50s, the world was infatuated with
the Space Race and the American automakers including Ford, adopted
space-inspired terminology and design influences with 1959 being
the first year that Ford adopted the "Galaxie" moniker for its
top-of-the-line trim level and the only Ford trim in 1959 that
could be purchased as a convertible. In total, Galaxie Sunliners
made up less than 10% of overall Galaxie production in 1959 and
around 3% of Ford's overall production, which makes this particular
Sunliner a pretty rare car. Under the hood on this '59 Ford
Sunliner is a 352 Cubic Inch V8 engine paired with a single 4
barrel carburetor that was said to have pushed out 300 horsepower
when new. The 352 V8 powerplant is backed by a Cruise-O-Matic
Automatic Transmission ensuring that just about anybody can take
this 1959 Galaxie Convertible for a spin around the block. With
power steering, getting in and out of those tight spaces at the
local drive-in or car show is a total breeze and the overall
driving experience is greatly improved. Riding on a brand new set
of Wide Whitewall Radial Tires paired with Full Wheelcovers, this
1959 Ford Sunliner has a fantastic fifties look and even better
ride. The black cloth power convertible top is in wonderful shape
and it goes up and down with ease with simple flick of a switch.
The chrome and brightwork around the exterior of the car looks
superb as well. The exterior has been correctly refinished in
beautiful Colonial White, just how this Ford Fairlane 500 came back
in 1959. The interior on this 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner is
absolutely stunning! The front and rear bench seats have been
beautifully reupholstered in Red, White, and Black tri-tone vinyl
with a fantastic period correct look. The dash, door panels,
carpeting, and steering wheel all appear to be in their stock
configuration and are in great shape. The dash is equipped with a
120 MPH speedometer, temperature gauge and fuel gauge, along with
an AM radio and clock. A trifecta of Equus gauges are mounted
neatly under the dash as well and consist of a temperature gauge,
volt gauge, and oil pressure gauge. Whether you're buying your
first classic car or you're adding to existing blue oval
collection, this 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Sunliner would make
an excellent choice. Give us a call today at 763-428-7337!
