For Sale: 1959 Ford Fairlane in Mesa, Arizona

When it comes to finding a truly collectible car, it is hard to beat a one-year wonder like this 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Sunliner Convertible. The Galaxie was offered as the ultimate iteration of Ford's Fairlane lineup, and its first generation, while successful, was only the 1959 model year before its second-gen came along in 1960. Decked out in its Colonial White and Light Blue two-tone exterior paint, its white power convertible top looks good up or down. Chrome, side skirts, and fins all scream 1950s, and all of which were toned down and changed drastically just a year later.

Inside, we find a clean and stock interior outfitted in a brilliant Radiant Blue and White featuring vinyl-covered bench seats at both the front and back. A three-spoke sterling white steering wheel sits in front of an old school column shifter, and a 120 mph horizontal speedometer. Sliding HVAC controls are complemented by a Vintage Air setup under the dashboard to keep you cool even when driving under a hot sun. The retro analog dashboard clock adds a bit of elegance, while the sideview mirror hand levers keep things simple in a way only a true 1950s classic can.

Under the hood, we find a 292 cubic-inch V-8 engine. Topped by a single two-barrel carburetor, this engine pumped out an advertised 200 horsepower and 285 pound-feet of torque when it rolled off the assembly line. That power is funneled through a two-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission before exiting through a true dual exhaust.
