1959 Ford Galaxie Fairlane 500 Skyliner Retractable Hardtop Convertible on 2040-cars

• Cruise-O-Matic transmission (original)
• Wimbleton white with original blue interior. 
• 352 CID/4bbl (original engine)
• 3:11 diff. w/31 spline axels 

Truly as rust free as I've ever, a northern Colorado car. Absolutely complete! Rockers, floors and trunk are solid. Body is straight. You will have to look very hard to find another Skyliner as rust free as this. All trim is complete. Top works fine but needs usual adjustments. I have installed a 10 position switch in the door jamb where it is hidden to operate any top solenoid individually.

It has the rare factory optional "Flying Ellipse" hood ornament. It also has optional reverse lights, "day/nite" mirror, traffic light viewer, seat belts front/rear, rocker panel trim, stainless steel skirts and a trailer hitch with a flat 4 connector. Original interior except carpet has been replaced. Everything works except the clock (as usual)! It does include the hard to find "picnic basket" for the trunk and the correct wooden cover for the spare tire (sorry, no spare wheel).

This car is a fine example to drive as it is or it's completeness and condition lends itself to be the perfect example to give a complete restoration.

One picture clearly shows all gages showing good oil pressure, proper charging, full correct temp at idle. This shows the health of the engine as much as I can in a photo. I drive this car on a regular basis.

It does have hand controls installed. They will be removed (take me 10 minutes) if you do not need them. If you require hand controls I will leave them installed at no extra cost.

The things that need attention because I think you would want to know; The diff has a chipped tooth so it whines, easy fix with a new 3rd member. The top stops halfway down due to a broken wire which is also a common problem and an easy fix. The 10 position switch insures the top will always fully retract or raise even with the broken wire.

NOTE:
The rear bumper guards, hand controls and under dash record player shown in the photos are not included! (I may include them if you are a serious buyer) If you need hand controls, I will include them with the car at no charge. There is also no spare wheel or jack. I couldn't find the correct one. But it does include several spare parts and some new extras too.
