For Sale: 1959 Ford Fairlane in Mesa, Arizona

The 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Skyliner Retractable Hardtop showcases Ford's innovative hideaway hardtop design. This Raven Black beauty with white accents embodies late '50s American automotive styling. The elongated body features iconic tailfins and chrome trim, while 18-inch front and 20-inch rear US Mags wheels, wrapped in 215/45R18 and 245/40R20 US General G-Max tires, give it a modern stance. Dual spotlights and half-chrome headlights add vintage flair, complementing the Skyliner's main attraction - that engineering marvel of a retractable hardtop.

A vibrant red and black color scheme awaits inside. Vinyl and cloth bench seats offer classic comfort, while the carefully restored dash houses clear gauges and controls. A Vintage Air system keeps the cabin cool, and the column-mounted shifter for the 3-speed automatic transmission is easily accessible. Ford's clever storage box in the trunk shows how designers balanced style with practicality.

Opening the hood reveals a 332 CI V8 engine breathing through an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. The engine bay displays a mix of stock components and thoughtful upgrades. Power steering and power brakes with discs at all four corners improve handling. A Borgeson steering box, Fatman 2-inch drop spindles, and Viking adjustable coil-overs up front enhance road manners, while air shocks out back help manage the load. Dual exhaust provides a fitting audio accompaniment for this classic cruiser.
