Drives just like it looks.......1959 Classic perfection at it's bestLet us begin by pointing out that the reserve we have placed on this car is FAR less than its cost of restoration.
A frame off restoration of anySkylinerto this level would easily cross the six figure mark.
The difference between a Skyliner that would be worth $45,000-$50,000 and one restored to concourse quality standards like this car that would be considered "well bought"in the $65,000-$70,000 range is not $15,000-$20,000....it is $100,000 plusthat you would have to spend today to restore it to this level.
Remember, it is always better to invest in a near perfect, original low mileage correct caror to buy a car done to perfection like this car, than to try and have a car restoredyourself. The one who pays for the restoration, hardly ever comes close to breaking even.
The thick 'baby book' that will accompany thisSkyliner(filled with photos) will take you through the entire restoration process!

We tested every switch and control and found all to work correctly. To name a few......The top works to perfection...simply amazing.The power windows all work correctly.The power steering is a dream....one finger can steer this car effortlesslyThe Power brakes work great....no pulling to the right or left when appliedDriving the car today at 75-80mph on the Florida Turnpike...no vibration or noises...very smoothTransmission...shifts correctly and silky smooth.Exhaust system....whisper quietAll the lights work...interior....exterior, turn signals, brake lights and back-up lightsCigarette light worksHeater, fan, defroster work properlyCooling system....car runs properly at correct temperature...even in bumper to bumper trafficWipers and horn work correctlyThe chrome on this car is like jewelry, stainless and pot metal inside and outside are show quality.Engine compartment....magnificentUndercarriage...beautiful and no rust. Looking at the restoration photos...this was a rust free carbefore it was restored.In an age where brand aesthetics can easily hang around for a decade, it's hard to imagine any automaker turning out jaw-dropping but completely different designs for five years in a row. Between 1955 and 1960, Ford did just that and, over time, each model has become an exalted classic. The 1959Fairlane500Galaxieis one of the most sought after cars of its era, with examples like this professionally restoredSkylinerserving as great reminders why. There's simply NOTHING like it on today's roads, and that's without factoring the car's 352 cubic inchThunderbird Special V8, 3-speed automatic transmission or strikingGulfstreamBlue-on-Colonialwhite color combination that's guaranteed to turn heads.So, if you're the kind of enthusiast who enjoys being the center of attention, take a minute to get to know this incredible Ford convertible!
The Ford engineer who designed this incredible example of mechanical art was Ben E. Smith....At a recent national convention of FordSkylinersand their owners (with ourSkylinerparticipating), Mr. Smith, now 92 years old, graciously signed the inside of the deck lid.
BODYWORK/TRIM
Driven a few hundred shakedown miles since completion and presenting much better than when it originally rolled down San Jose's storied assembly lines, this impressive drop-top has been transformed into a take-no-prisoners weekender that consistently headlines cruise nights.
You won't be staying under the radar with its professionally finished Gulfstream Blue on Colonial White paintwork, which has beencarefully applied over a very clean and straight body. In the photos below, you'll see photos of the car's restoration, including before and after shots. Even before the painstaking restoration, this car wasstraight and rust free.And ultimately, everything adds up to one super cool cruiser that, thanks to its spectacular combination of color and trim, has an absolutely magnetic presence!HISTORY OF THE RETRACTABLE HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE
Beginning in 1952,The Lincoln Continental division of Ford spent almost two million dollars in R & D on developing & building a retractable hardtop under the direction of Ben Smith. When it was decided a retractable top would make the Continental too expensive, The Lincoln Division turned the project over to Ford, where Ben Smith tweaked his retractable mechanism to revolutionize Ford's top of the line Fairlane 500 (and later Galaxie). Ford spent an additional Eighteen million dollars on this project before the 1st Skyliner rolled off the Ford assembly lines. The Skyliner had only a three year run, from 1957-1959. It would be thirty five years before another automaker would venture into the retractable hardtop business.The entire retractable mechanism this Skyliner has been professionally restored and completely rebuilt. It works to perfection! If you've never experienced the joy of pressing a single button and turning an all steel hardtop into an open convertible in less than 60 seconds, you're in for a treat. And here's a guarantee: take this retractable to a car show and park it next to ANY other classic, regardless of price - and IT will steal the show! Operate the top for spectators and they'll break into applause. I ought to know - I've owned a Geranium and White 1959 Skyliner for 25 years and still have it! And oh.. I've NEVER had a problem with the top's operation in all my years of ownership!
Here's a hint to keep your retractable working like it left the factory: Be sure to put the top up or down only when the car is on a LEVEL surface. Do that and you'll virtually insure tip-top operation for years to come.
ENGINE
Tilt this Ford's sculpted hood up and you'll find Ford's optional 352 cubic inch Thunderbird Special V8 that has been completely rebuilt to specs and dressed to impress.Introduced in 1958 as a high-end Ford and Mercury engine, this stout big block remained one of Dearborn's hottest factory options for many years.At the top of the 352 CID V-8 mill, a bright blue air cleaner draws wind in to a big 4-barrel carburetor that's juiced by a series of stainless fuel lines.Atomized octane passes through a cast iron intake manifold to correct, cast iron heads that are topped by painted and Ford-branded valve covers.At the front of those valve covers you'll see a correct fan and a tagged radiator. The radiator keeps the block cool via pliable hoses and modern screw clamps.Spark comes courtesy of a traditional points and distributor, which sequences fire between a Ford coil and fresh plug wires. Aesthetically,this convertible's bay presents a clean, mostly authentic appearance all the way from its Spartan horn and fresh decals to its reproduction batteryand Motorcraft oil filter. And best of all, the 300 horsepower engine fires instantly and sounds surprisingly beefy breathing through OEM-style exhaust.DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
At the bottom of this Skyliner, a fully sorted undercarriage houses typically over-restored floors that are bolted to lots of factory-correct components.Nice enough to show but still fully drivable, this is the perfect compromise for enthusiasts who like to display their car and enjoy fun-filled weekends.Behind the beefy power plant, a Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission spins torque to a familiar Ford 9-inch that's fitted with pleasant, highway-friendlygears. The car's suspension remains close to its original configuration, with factory power steering complementing factory control arms and traditional leaf springs.All of the chassis' parts are free of weathering, additional evidence that this Skyliner has seen only break-in miles since its complete restoration.Braking is quick and adequate thanks to fresh drums that occupy all four corners of that chassis. On the outside of those drums, 215/75R14SBR Coker whitewalls spin with a fresh set of spectacular Kelsey Hayes Wire Wheels with Blue insert spinners.
INTERIOR
2-tone paint is legendary for its characteristically '50s feel. And when paired with this hardtop convertible's airy interior, it creates the perfect culmination of style and sophistication.There's tight carpet that, thanks to low miles, still features rich blue loops. Front and center, a 2-tone dash hangsrestored Ford telemetry next to a correct Original push-button Ford AM radio. At the sides of that dash, flashy chrome laden door panels, center chrome handles and sculpted armrests above spectacular Ford-branded sills. And in front of the driver, a white & blue steering wheelspins a stylized rim around a chrome Ford-branded horn ring.This first class Ford is a nicely polished piece of jet-age magic that's ready to be shown and celebrated. With its sturdy 352/automatic drive train,streetability certainly won't be a problem.And the car's impressive interior is every bit as welcoming now as it was when new. Why? Because it IS new - an all new CORRECT interior courtesty of ABC Interiors. If you're looking for a top-notch classic to add to your collection.

During these past 56 yearswe have met 1000's and 1000's of wonderful guys & girls who love this hobby as much as we do. Unfortunately many have and do pass away and when they do the families call us.

A small markup is added to each car, we keep the overhead to a minimumand always "leave room" for the new buyer to sell his or her car should they make that decision.We never try to just"Make a sale"because a sale is usually a one time event.

A frame off restoration of anySkylinerto this level would easily cross the six figure mark.
The difference between a Skyliner that would be worth $45,000-$50,000 and one restored to concourse quality standards like this car that would be considered "well bought"in the $65,000-$70,000 range is not $15,000-$20,000....it is $100,000 plusthat you would have to spend today to restore it to this level.
Remember, it is always better to invest in a near perfect, original low mileage correct caror to buy a car done to perfection like this car, than to try and have a car restoredyourself. The one who pays for the restoration, hardly ever comes close to breaking even.

To name a few......The top works to perfection...simply amazing.The power windows all work correctly.The power steering is a dream....one finger can steer this car effortlesslyThe Power brakes work great....no pulling to the right or left when appliedDriving the car today at 75-80mph on the Florida Turnpike...no vibration or noises...very smoothTransmission...shifts correctly and silky smooth.Exhaust system....whisper quietAll the lights work...interior....exterior, turn signals, brake lights and back-up lightsCigarette light worksHeater, fan, defroster work properlyCooling system....car runs properly at correct temperature...even in bumper to bumper trafficWipers and horn work correctlyThe chrome on this car is like jewelry, stainless and pot metal inside and outside are show quality.Engine compartment....magnificentUndercarriage...beautiful and no rust. Looking at the restoration photos...this was a rust free carbefore it was restored.In an age where brand aesthetics can easily hang around for a decade, it's hard to imagine any automaker turning out jaw-dropping but completely different designs for five years in a row. Between 1955 and 1960, Ford did just that and, over time, each model has become an exalted classic. The 1959Fairlane500Galaxieis one of the most sought after cars of its era, with examples like this professionally restoredSkylinerserving as great reminders why. There's simply NOTHING like it on today's roads, and that's without factoring the car's 352 cubic inchThunderbird Special V8, 3-speed automatic transmission or strikingGulfstreamBlue-on-Colonialwhite color combination that's guaranteed to turn heads.So, if you're the kind of enthusiast who enjoys being the center of attention, take a minute to get to know this incredible Ford convertible!
The Ford engineer who designed this incredible example of mechanical art was Ben E. Smith....At a recent national convention of FordSkylinersand their owners (with ourSkylinerparticipating), Mr. Smith, now 92 years old, graciously signed the inside of the deck lid.
BODYWORK/TRIM
Driven a few hundred shakedown miles since completion and presenting much better than when it originally rolled down San Jose's storied assembly lines, this impressive drop-top has been transformed into a take-no-prisoners weekender that consistently headlines cruise nights.
You won't be staying under the radar with its professionally finished Gulfstream Blue on Colonial White paintwork, which has beencarefully applied over a very clean and straight body. In the photos below, you'll see photos of the car's restoration, including before and after shots. Even before the painstaking restoration, this car wasstraight and rust free.And ultimately, everything adds up to one super cool cruiser that, thanks to its spectacular combination of color and trim, has an absolutely magnetic presence!HISTORY OF THE RETRACTABLE HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE
Beginning in 1952,The Lincoln Continental division of Ford spent almost two million dollars in R & D on developing & building a retractable hardtop under the direction of Ben Smith. When it was decided a retractable top would make the Continental too expensive, The Lincoln Division turned the project over to Ford, where Ben Smith tweaked his retractable mechanism to revolutionize Ford's top of the line Fairlane 500 (and later Galaxie). Ford spent an additional Eighteen million dollars on this project before the 1st Skyliner rolled off the Ford assembly lines. The Skyliner had only a three year run, from 1957-1959. It would be thirty five years before another automaker would venture into the retractable hardtop business.The entire retractable mechanism this Skyliner has been professionally restored and completely rebuilt. It works to perfection! If you've never experienced the joy of pressing a single button and turning an all steel hardtop into an open convertible in less than 60 seconds, you're in for a treat. And here's a guarantee: take this retractable to a car show and park it next to ANY other classic, regardless of price - and IT will steal the show! Operate the top for spectators and they'll break into applause. I ought to know - I've owned a Geranium and White 1959 Skyliner for 25 years and still have it! And oh.. I've NEVER had a problem with the top's operation in all my years of ownership!
Here's a hint to keep your retractable working like it left the factory: Be sure to put the top up or down only when the car is on a LEVEL surface. Do that and you'll virtually insure tip-top operation for years to come.
ENGINE
Tilt this Ford's sculpted hood up and you'll find Ford's optional 352 cubic inch Thunderbird Special V8 that has been completely rebuilt to specs and dressed to impress.Introduced in 1958 as a high-end Ford and Mercury engine, this stout big block remained one of Dearborn's hottest factory options for many years.At the top of the 352 CID V-8 mill, a bright blue air cleaner draws wind in to a big 4-barrel carburetor that's juiced by a series of stainless fuel lines.Atomized octane passes through a cast iron intake manifold to correct, cast iron heads that are topped by painted and Ford-branded valve covers.At the front of those valve covers you'll see a correct fan and a tagged radiator. The radiator keeps the block cool via pliable hoses and modern screw clamps.Spark comes courtesy of a traditional points and distributor, which sequences fire between a Ford coil and fresh plug wires. Aesthetically,this convertible's bay presents a clean, mostly authentic appearance all the way from its Spartan horn and fresh decals to its reproduction batteryand Motorcraft oil filter. And best of all, the 300 horsepower engine fires instantly and sounds surprisingly beefy breathing through OEM-style exhaust.DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
At the bottom of this Skyliner, a fully sorted undercarriage houses typically over-restored floors that are bolted to lots of factory-correct components.Nice enough to show but still fully drivable, this is the perfect compromise for enthusiasts who like to display their car and enjoy fun-filled weekends.Behind the beefy power plant, a Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission spins torque to a familiar Ford 9-inch that's fitted with pleasant, highway-friendlygears. The car's suspension remains close to its original configuration, with factory power steering complementing factory control arms and traditional leaf springs.All of the chassis' parts are free of weathering, additional evidence that this Skyliner has seen only break-in miles since its complete restoration.Braking is quick and adequate thanks to fresh drums that occupy all four corners of that chassis. On the outside of those drums, 215/75R14SBR Coker whitewalls spin with a fresh set of spectacular Kelsey Hayes Wire Wheels with Blue insert spinners.
INTERIOR
2-tone paint is legendary for its characteristically '50s feel. And when paired with this hardtop convertible's airy interior, it creates the perfect culmination of style and sophistication.There's tight carpet that, thanks to low miles, still features rich blue loops. Front and center, a 2-tone dash hangsrestored Ford telemetry next to a correct Original push-button Ford AM radio. At the sides of that dash, flashy chrome laden door panels, center chrome handles and sculpted armrests above spectacular Ford-branded sills. And in front of the driver, a white & blue steering wheelspins a stylized rim around a chrome Ford-branded horn ring.This first class Ford is a nicely polished piece of jet-age magic that's ready to be shown and celebrated. With its sturdy 352/automatic drive train,streetability certainly won't be a problem.And the car's impressive interior is every bit as welcoming now as it was when new. Why? Because it IS new - an all new CORRECT interior courtesty of ABC Interiors. If you're looking for a top-notch classic to add to your collection.
