1959 Ford Galaxie 500 Retractable Hard Top Convertible

1959 Ford Galaxie

1959 Ford Galaxie Fairlane 500 Skyliner Retractable HardTop Convertible. This is a rare and desirable gem, a true barn(storage garage) find. Acquired from an estate, this vehicle has been sitting in a controlled environment storage facility for the past 30 plus years. Prior to its being decommissioned, the car was driven by the previous owner in parades, car shows and was a fixture of his personal museum collection.
Originally purchased in Phoenix Arizona at Sanderson Ford, the vehicle has remained in the state its entire life. Overall condition is excellent considering it is an non restored survivor and appears to be remarkably intact and unmolested. No Rust present anywhere.
Starts up and runs smoothly, drives and shifts well. The only work performed since its acquisition was the particulars of getting the vehicle operable, motor tune up, fluids, filters etc., 4 new wheel cylinders, a rebuilt brake master cylinder, new water pump, belts, as well as 2 New bf goodrich tires.
The retractable hard top is in working condition (check out the video to see it work). The air conditioning system is not operating, but all the major components appear to be present except for the belt and a hose or two. Other than that, there are of course the minor miscellaneous oil leaks inherent in a vehicle of its age.
Seats front and rear are in very good condition. The headliner is missing and the carpet has some wear holes, but mostly intact. Door hardware, arm rests and panels are present and in good shape.
Overall, this car is in really nice condition and would make a great driver with no more than a little tlc. This car is a steal at $23,000.
