Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1959 Ford Fairlane Galaxie 500!! 1959 Was the first year that Ford added the Galaxie into the lineup as the top trim level of the Fairlane 500. The name was selected because of the times. These were exciting times and Ford wanted to tie in the allure of the Space Race that had Americans full of wonder. This example is wrapped in Coral and White paint. The gorgeous interior is Coral, White and Black and looks nice. As you walk around the car and upon closer inspection you can see the paint is older, worn and faded in many spots but yet still has a uniqueness to it. The black 18x7 & 20x9 wheels really complements the interior, it's a nice balance. As you really step back and take this care in it has a great stance and a nice presence. Open the door, sit inside and grasp that steering wheel! It evokes a nostalgia that you simply cannot replicate. Under the hood is a 332 ci v8 that puts power down through a c6 3-speed automatic transmission. Not ready to send this Galaxie into orbit? No problem, stepping up to help bring this Ford back down to earth are Wilwood power disc brakes. This Galaxie is a driver, it just needs a captain behind the wheel!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
