This attractive 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible is a fun classic cruiser that turns a ton of heads and is part of the MS CLASSIC CARS “NO RESERVE” Collection. Technically speaking, the correct model name is a Fairlane 500 Galaxie Sunliner Convertible. In 1959, Ford produced a total of 45,868 Galaxie Sunliner Convertibles. As the VIN number indicates this example was built on March 5th in Mahwah, NJ as a Sunliner Convertible with a 292 V8 engine. This example has spent the last 22 years in two private collections with very limited exposure. It was the product of a complete restoration. The exterior presents very nicely throughout and is decorated with a rear continental kit. It was refinished in the beautiful white and red color combination which highlights the exquisite bodylines. The paint was recently detailed to a glimmering shine. The new white soft top is power operated and works excellent. Everything on the exterior has been restored or replaced such as all the glass and trim, wiper arms, dual mirrors, hood and fender ornaments, headlight bezels and headlights, front grill, front bumper, door handles, body moldings, rear quarter lower trim, tail light bezels and tail lights, rear bumper and emblems. It rolls on 14” steel wheels with chrome hub caps and Coker Classic 215-75-14 whitewall tires. The center of the hub caps matches the center of the red continental kit spare tire cover. The exterior is complemented with a matching interior theme. The pillars, dash, steering column, top of door panels and part of the seats is red. The steering wheel and part of seats are white. The door panel, seat inserts, carpeting and floor mats are black. The interior was lightly restored and still retains the perfect amount of original patina. Everything in the interior is in working order with exception of the clock. The spacious trunk compartment was painted and outfitted with a factory style trunk mat. It’s also equipped with two spare tires along with jack tools. The engine compartment was recently refreshed and is highly detailed throughout. The car is powered by the original 292 2V 8-cyclinder engine that was factory rated with 200HP. The engine starts instantly with the turn of the key and purrs like a kitten. The engine sports red Ford valve covers and matching air cleaner. The engine is cooled by the correct radiator that was re-cored. The engine breathes through the correct manifolds and new dual exhaust system with Super Turbo mufflers that sounds excellent. The chrome exhaust tips exit the rear under the bumper which gives it a slightly aggressive appearance. The engine is coupled to the 3-speed manual transmission. The column shifter is easy to operate and it shifts smoothly through the gears. The power is transferred to the rear end with 3.56 gears. The undercarriage was also recently refreshed and is super clean throughout. The fuel system, steering system, suspension components and braking system was recently gone through. The owner’s manual, convertible boot top, car cover, poncho and extra fuel pump are included. This vehicle was recently serviced and ready for the new owner to enjoy.
