years for styling with the American automotive manufacturers and
Ford was certainly in the mix when the redesigned the Fairlane for
1959. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to present this 1959 Ford
Fairlane 500 Galaxie Sunliner Convertible. At the time of its
original build, the Fairlane 500 Galaxie Sunliner was the most
popular convertible in the world. Redesigned with much more squared
up lines, a bigger windshield, "gullwing" headlamp brows, and a
"Flying V" back panel cradling large round taillamps. A full-size
car built from 1959 through 1974, the Ford Galaxie was used for the
top models in Ford's full-size range from 1958 until 1961, in a
marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the�Space
Race. This example was built in Ford's Atlanta, Georgia (A in the
VIN) assembly plant on June 11, 1959 and was shipped to the
Phoenix, Arizona area. Its two-tone Torch Red and Colonial White
exterior is in good condition while its trim is in fair shape. The
windshield and side glass is in good order, as are the vehicle's
lights, clear and crack-free. The car rides on 215/70R14 tires
mounted on factor steel wheels with original hubcaps. This
droptop's body panels are straight and its bumpers are in good
shape. Extras on this convertible include Ford's Select-Aire air
conditioning and an external spotlight on the driver's side. Please
note that the factory air conditioning is incomplete but compressor
and other ac components are included with the sale. This car left
the factory with a 332 CID V-8, automatic transmission and a 2.69
rear end. The original two-tone red-and-white seats are in good
order, as is the car's red carpet. Its red metal instrument panel
with its chrome trim is in very good condition and the huge, deep
dish, three-spoke steering wheel are in good condition. The door
panels are in fair order while the shifter is in good order.
Completing the interior is a factory AM radio. The 1959 Ford range
was introduced in late 1958 with the�Fairlane 500�as the top trim
level. During the 1959 model year, the Galaxie was added to the
range as an additional trim level, assuming the top position from
the Fairlane 500.�The Galaxie was offered with the same sedan and
hardtop body styles as the Fairlane 500 while the Sunliner
and�Skyliner�convertibles moved across from the Fairlane 500
range.�Styling varied from the Fairlane 500 with the addition of
a�Ford Thunderbird-style�C-pillar�on all but the Sunliner. Although
a separate series from the Fairlane 500, 1959 Galaxie models
carried both�Fairlane 500�and�Galaxie badging. In keeping with the
era, the 1959 Galaxie was a chrome and stainless steel-bedecked,
two-tone colored vehicle. Ford advertised "safety anchorage" for
the front seats.�The parking brake was now a pedal.�Seat belts, a
padded dashboard and childproof rear door locks were optional,
while a deep-dished steering wheel and double-door locks were
standard. Currently the horn is inoperable. A new top-level
full-sized model was introduced at mid-year 1959, the�Ford Galaxie.
The 1959 Galaxie displayed both "Fairlane 500" and "Galaxie"
badging. Competition to this Ford in 1959 included Chevrolet's
Impala Convertible, Mercury's Monterey Convertible and Buick's
LeSabre Convertible. This car is currently located at our facility
