Description
Driven Rods And Rides is proud to present this GORGEOUS - RARE - RESTORED - LOW ACTUAL - ORIGINAL MILEAGE - Code
"51A" - 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible !! As you can imagine these are getting EXTREMELY hard to find,
especially in this BEAUTIFUL - RESTORED condition and color combo. The 1959 Ford Galaxie was named the "Most
Beautifully Proportioned Car" in the world at the Brussels World Fair. It was a STUNNING body style in 1959 and
still is some 56 years later. This particular Skyliner is being sold out of an estate of an elderly, health
failing, personal family member who lovingly owned and meticulously maintained this BEAUTY for the last 6 years. As
you can clearly see in the pictures this was his pride and joy for sure! These cars were RARE because only 12,915
Skyliner Convertibles were built in 1959 and was the FIRST year of the Galaxie model name, and this is the year to
have. This car is a NICE - DRY - SOLID - showroom stored mid-western vehicle and man does it show! This car was
driven very rarely only to keep the cobwebs out and the juices flowing or to have it pre maturely maintenanced! It
still retains it's - FACTORY ORIGINAL - Ford driver's door pillar mounted data plate and it's - ORIGINAL - 1959
Ford owner's manual, both of which are shown pictures. If you can make it to St. Louis, Mo in the coming days
please come take a look at and drive this car for yourself !! THIS IS A QUALITY SHOW CAR FOR SURE and is an
absolute piece of art to witness in person.
This BEAUTY still retains its VERY STRONG !! - APPEARS ORIGINAL - OPTIONAL - CODE "B" - 332 CID "Thunderbird
Special" - Interceptor V8 motor ( 225 horsepower / 325 ft/lb of torque from the factory !! ) and it is running very
well indeed !! The motor still retains its ORIGINAL intake manifold, ORIGINAL exhaust manifolds, ORIGINAL "Ford"
scripted valve covers, ORIGINAL rebuilt carburetor and the ORIGINAL "Thunderbird Special Interceptor V8" scripted
air cleaner housing. The engine has less than 2K miles on it since it had a "down to the bare block" complete
rebuild. The engine is backed by a SMOOTH - Code "4" - "Cruise-O-Matic" - three speed automatic transmission which
also functions very well. The transmission also has less than 2K miles on it since it was completely rebuilt. She
Sounds GREAT too with the "throaty" true dual exhaust system with dual chrome tips. The BEAUTIFUL !! - Code "TE2" -
Geranium & Colonial White 2 Tone Paint With Geranium/Colonial White & Raven Black Pleated Galaxie Sunliner interior
is in excellent condition! The interior includes an excellent Geranium/Colonial White and Raven Black Pleated front
seat, nice original Galaxie steering wheel, excellent black raven carpeting, excellent matching Geranium/Colonial
White and Raven Black door panels, Excellent Geranium/Colonial White and Raven Black Pleated rear seat, VERY NICE
ORIGINAL factory gauge clusters, VERY NICE White vinyl sun visors, VERY NICE Matching Geranium dash, VERY NICE
Geranium POWER convertible top and a VERY NICE Matching Colonial White convertible top boot cover. The GORGEOUS -
Original Code "TE2" - Two Tone - Geranium and Colonial White exterior finish is EYE POPPING BEAUTIFUL! with really
little to no wear showing other than several small chips and is still bright and shiny and looks STUNNING as you
can clearly see in the 100 ADDITIONAL PICTURES. The BEAUTIFUL Geranium, Colonial White and Raven Black interior
with the matching Geranium and Colonial White exterior finish and matching Geranium convertible top is a BEAUTIFUL
color combination indeed! It doesn't get much prettier than this folks! This Classic Galaxie drop top Skyliner is a
great runner and a real nice looker.
This car is nicely equipped including optional factory power steering, factory wing windows, factory power electric
wipers, factory gauge clusters with 120 MPH speedometer, original Ford AM radio, original clock, factory power
convertible top, factory stainless steel fender skirts, and factory backup lights. This Vintage Galaxie Sunliner
Convertible has great looks and AWESOME 332 CID Interceptor V8 power to boot! There are not many of these left on
the roads for sure!
These vehicles have an appreciative group of owners any of which would be pleased to own this one. The suspension
and drive line all seem to be in good working order as well as the electrical system. Check out the AWESOME
FACTORY ORIGINAL Stainless Steel Ford "Turbine" wheel covers and the NEARLY NEW period correct bias ply wide
whitewall tires. Boy does this combination look AMAZING on this drop top Ford and really retains that clean,
"factory original" look !! The CLEAN - SOLID Trunk sports a VERY NICE ORIGINAL style White vinyl liner. All of the
light lenses and reflectors are clear, bright and in excellent condition. This vintage cruiser is a good
investment opportunity and it is priced right ! It is in BEAUTIFUL condition from top to bottom and from front to
back. It will not disappoint someone looking for a good example of a sought after and hard to find collector car
which is not seen at every stop light for sure. If you have been looking but cannot find a Classic Ford Galaxie
Sunliner worthy of your hard earned money look NO further because this is the one ! All of the chrome and stainless
steel exterior body trim and moldings are in excellent condition including both bumpers, excellent original
badging, and excellent grill and headlight surrounds. All of the black rubber weatherstripping is soft, supple and
in great condition. This vehicle is in nice mechanical condition and it runs and drives very well. It is solid with
respect to the overall mechanical condition as well as the overall cosmetic impression. The undercarriage is also
as nice and solid as the rest of this car!

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards
Fri, 18 Jan 2013This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.
Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.
