Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Skyliner Retractable Hardtop Convertible! These stunning cars were produced from 1957-1959 and was only the second car in history to be series produced with a retractable hardtop. At the time of its introduction, the Skyliner was the only true hardtop convertible in the world making it an instant classic. Only a little over 48k were ever made! Here we have a '59 model. The two-tone April Green & Colonial White paint is not common and certainly stands apart from many others we have had over the years. The retractable hard top works, can be seen in the video and is a marvel to watch. The two-tone green interior does have signs of use but still looks good and goes well with the exterior tones. Under the hood is a V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission. The current owner has had her for over 17 years, acquired from a private owner. The title is clean and clear and ready to be transferred into your name now. Options on this Skyliner include: Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Seat, Retractable Hardtop, Cloth Seats, AM Radio, Seat Belts, Hub Caps, and Whit Wall Radial Tires.

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.
