Have you ever seen a retractable hardtop? The 1959 Ford Fairlane Skyliner is the world’s first retractable hardtop. Just like magic in 60 seconds this car converts from an all-steel hard top to a sun-loving convertible at the push of a button. The 1959 Ford was regarded as the most attractive full-size car at the time. As far as the skyliner is concerned it is also the rarest and most sought-after car for collectors of automobile history.
A comprehensive thorough frame off restoration has brought this car back to its original glory. Finished in a tri-tone paint scheme of wedgewood blue and surf blue separated with a white accent this Galaxie is a real showstopper. The interior compliments nicely in the same tri-tone plastic seat coverings. Dual cowl-mounted spotlights, a continental kit and stainless-steel accents make this gem shine.
Powering this classic is a V8 – 322 CI – 225 HP engine with a non-original “Holley” 4-barrel carburetor, paired up with a cruise-o-matic transmission. Options include power steering, standard brakes, AM radio, day/night rear view mirror and clock.
This car rated in Conours condition when appraised in August 2021.
