1959 Ford Galaxie Retractable
VIN: H9KW137449
The Ford retractable ‘Skyliner’ was the first mass produced retracting hardtop convertible and was available for the 1957-1959 model years. It was marketed the Hide-Away Hardtop. Ford made 48,394 examples during the 3 year production run with 1959 seeing the smallest number at 12,915.
This Skyliner shows 86K miles and is a dry Montana car with 47+ year ownership and was always a complete and functioning vehicle with a light restoration being completed as needed, including:
352 4bbl V8 & Cruise-O-Matic transmission, both fully rebuilt, with a mellow toned dual exhaust system.
Exterior repainted, bumpers rechromed, radial wide white wall tires & new windshield installed.
Interior is correct with seats and carpet being redone, while retaining the nice factory installed door panels and headliner.
Options include: Power Steering, Power Seat, Chrome Fender Skirts, Electric Windshield Wipers, Radio, Heater, among others.
Potential Buyer Opportunity: This car presents well and is a very solid turnkey example that can be enjoyed right now versus investing the substantial time and financial resources that would be necessary to bring a ‘Skyliner restoration project’ to this vehicle’s condition.’
