This 1959 Fairlane 500 Galaxie was partially restored in 2013 and is a beautiful example of the glory years of the American convertible. The current owner has treasured this Galaxie for over 45 years. One element that makes this convertible special is the fact that it is ‘complete’. Finding replacement body/interior parts for late ’50’s Ford is difficult, but this Fairlane 500 has no such needs. The Galaxie’s exterior was carefully re-sprayed in Torch Red/White, the convertible top is power operated and glass is tinted. Accents include nice brightwork, a set of chromed rear fender skirts and Hankook whitewall radials mounted on steel wheels with factory correct hubcaps. The interior has been restored in red/black vinyl and is in very good condition. An AM/FM/8-track in the dash is working perfectly. Our Galaxie is powered by a 332ci FE V8 (B-code) rated at 225hp with 8.9:1 compression and Holley 2-barrel carburetor. To the best of the owner’s knowledge, the motor has never been rebuilt. A 3-speed automatic gearbox supplies torque to a stock Ford differential with factory gearing and braking is managed by 11” x 2.5” drums. Any model of the 1959 Ford lineup, let alone a convertible, is quite rare. This Galaxie convertible will not be here long – come take a close look
