1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Skyliner Torch Red and Colonial White

With the use of 10 solenoids, 7 high-torque motors, 610 feet of wire, along with numerous relays and microswitches, the retractable hardtop is still to this day a true feat of engineering. Under the hood on this '59 Galaxie Skyliner is a 352 Cubic Inch V8 engine paired with a single 4 barrel carburetor that pushed out 300 horsepower when new. The 352 V8 is hooked up to an Automatic transmission so that anybody can have the pleasure of driving this iconic 50s cruiser.
With power steering, getting in and out of those tight spaces at car shows or at the local drive-in is a breeze. Power brakes makes bringing this beautiful Ford to a complete stop much easier. A rear mounted continental kit adds to classic 50s look of the car. The exterior on this '59 Skyliner has been beautifully refinished in a two-tone paint scheme consisting of Torch Red and Colonial White. Riding on wide whitewall bias-ply tires with full Thunderbird Wheel Covers with the Sunray Emblem, this '59 Ford has a great look cruising down the road.
