Midway through the model year (59), a new Galaxie series became the Top-Line Ford. This Galaxie-Skyliner was the centerpiece among these loaded luxury cruisers and Ford's most expensive car, apart from Thunderbirds.

Some 6 months work and approximately 1 million was spent in preperation of the 1960-61 retractable models, but they would never be. 1959 would be the final, and least produced year of the Skyliner retractable hardtop convertibles with 12,915 built.
 

This beautiful example showcases a beautiful Colonial White over Indian Turquoise finish. This is an older finish that has been professionally polished and in good condition, although not perfect or in show condition by any means.
 
The factory interior is a flashback to 1959.

The original brightwork is in good condition throughout, still displaying its bright luster. There is pitting in areas you can see in some of the detailed photos when you look closely. 

The grille is clean and detailed. This quad headlight design was introduced in 1958.  

Underneath the hood is the FE series V8. Originally powered by the 332 cid V8, this car sports a later '61-'62 FE series V8 (352-390cid) The intake's casting number is C1AE9425B & the block casting is C1AE60156. This example has been outfitted with a 4bbl. carburetor. The original 2bbl. carburetor helped produced approximately 225 horsepower on the lesser 332 cube motor. This V8 also features recent belt replacement along with new radiator hoses and clamps.

 

The interior features 2-tone turquoise vinyl, white and peppered cloth interior encased in plastic protection. 

The dash showcases all original gauges along with the pushbutton AM radio, still working! 

The door panels are original and intact, displaying the intricate bright trim.

This is simply an original factory interior ready to enjoy.

 Underneath the retractable top's lid, you'll find solid flooring and a mat. The retractable hardtop was recently serviced as well. 

Underneath this car is the rear end with factory 3.10 gearing along with the undetailed & solid flooring.
