This 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Retractable Hardtop stands as a beacon of automotive innovation, captivating onlookers with its dynamic two-tone palette of red and white. It seamlessly morphs from an elegant hardtop to an open-air convertible with the flick of a switch, a feature that distinguished it as a marvel of the late '50s. The silhouette is further enhanced by adding a rear continental spare kit and sleek fender skirts, creating an aesthetic that is as commanding as it is classy. It rolls on period-correct 8.00-14 tires at both the front and rear, grounding it firmly in its historical context.
Step inside to discover a vibrant red and black interior, with bench seats that beckon with the promise of comfort. The red vinyl upholstery, accented with black, has been lovingly restored to near-original condition. The dash and door tops, painted with precision, complement the overall aesthetic, offering a visual feast that is both comforting and nostalgic. The carpet, freshly laid, and the door panels, appearing newer, round out the inviting interior space.
Nestled within the engine bay of this 1959 Ford is a V8 engine, harmoniously paired with a 3-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. This setup ensures smooth transitions and a driving experience that is as effortless as enjoyable. Upgrades such as a modern power steering pump and a rack and pinion kit have been seamlessly integrated, enhancing the vehicle's handling. The dual exhaust system, complete with an aftermarket muffler, amplifies the auditory experience and adds a significant layer of performance and character.
