Description
Driven Rods And Rides is proud to present this GORGEOUS - RARE - RESTORED - LOW ACTUAL - ORIGINAL MILEAGE - Code
"51A" - 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible !! As you can imagine these are getting EXTREMELY hard to find,
especially in this BEAUTIFUL - RESTORED condition and color combo. The 1959 Ford Galaxie was named the "Most
Beautifully Proportioned Car" in the world at the Brussels World Fair. It was a STUNNING body style in 1959 and
still is some 56 years later. This particular Skyliner is being sold out of an estate of an elderly, health
failing, personal family member who lovingly owned and meticulously maintained this BEAUTY for the last 6 years. As
you can clearly see in the pictures this was his pride and joy for sure! These cars were RARE because only 12,915
Skyliner Convertibles were built in 1959 and was the FIRST year of the Galaxie model name, and this is the year to
have. This car is a NICE - DRY - SOLID - showroom stored mid-western vehicle and man does it show! This car was
driven very rarely only to keep the cobwebs out and the juices flowing or to have it pre maturely maintenanced! It
still retains it's - FACTORY ORIGINAL - Ford driver's door pillar mounted data plate and it's - ORIGINAL - 1959
Ford owner's manual, both of which are shown pictures. If you can make it to St. Louis, Mo in the coming days
please come take a look at and drive this car for yourself !! THIS IS A QUALITY SHOW CAR FOR SURE and is an
absolute piece of art to witness in person.
This BEAUTY still retains its VERY STRONG !! - APPEARS ORIGINAL - OPTIONAL - CODE "B" - 332 CID "Thunderbird
Special" - Interceptor V8 motor ( 225 horsepower / 325 ft/lb of torque from the factory !! ) and it is running very
well indeed !! The motor still retains its ORIGINAL intake manifold, ORIGINAL exhaust manifolds, ORIGINAL "Ford"
scripted valve covers, ORIGINAL rebuilt carburetor and the ORIGINAL "Thunderbird Special Interceptor V8" scripted
air cleaner housing. The engine has less than 2K miles on it since it had a "down to the bare block" complete
rebuild. The engine is backed by a SMOOTH - Code "4" - "Cruise-O-Matic" - three speed automatic transmission which
also functions very well. The transmission also has less than 2K miles on it since it was completely rebuilt. She
Sounds GREAT too with the "throaty" true dual exhaust system with dual chrome tips. The BEAUTIFUL !! - Code "TE2" -
Geranium & Colonial White 2 Tone Paint With Geranium/Colonial White & Raven Black Pleated Galaxie Sunliner interior
is in excellent condition! The interior includes an excellent Geranium/Colonial White and Raven Black Pleated front

ORIGINAL factory gauge clusters, VERY NICE White vinyl sun visors, VERY NICE Matching Geranium dash, VERY NICE

Original Code "TE2" - Two Tone - Geranium and Colonial White exterior finish is EYE POPPING BEAUTIFUL! with really
little to no wear showing other than several small chips and is still bright and shiny and looks STUNNING as you
can clearly see in the 100 ADDITIONAL PICTURES. The BEAUTIFUL Geranium, Colonial White and Raven Black interior
with the matching Geranium and Colonial White exterior finish and matching Geranium convertible top is a BEAUTIFUL
color combination indeed! It doesn't get much prettier than this folks! This Classic Galaxie drop top Skyliner is a
great runner and a real nice looker.
This car is nicely equipped including optional factory power steering, factory wing windows, factory power electric
wipers, factory gauge clusters with 120 MPH speedometer, original Ford AM radio, original clock, factory power
convertible top, factory stainless steel fender skirts, and factory backup lights. This Vintage Galaxie Sunliner
Convertible has great looks and AWESOME 332 CID Interceptor V8 power to boot! There are not many of these left on
the roads for sure!
These vehicles have an appreciative group of owners any of which would be pleased to own this one. The suspension
and drive line all seem to be in good working order as well as the electrical system. Check out the AWESOME
FACTORY ORIGINAL Stainless Steel Ford "Turbine" wheel covers and the NEARLY NEW period correct bias ply wide
whitewall tires. Boy does this combination look AMAZING on this drop top Ford and really retains that clean,
"factory original" look !! The CLEAN - SOLID Trunk sports a VERY NICE ORIGINAL style White vinyl liner. All of the
light lenses and reflectors are clear, bright and in excellent condition. This vintage cruiser is a good
investment opportunity and it is priced right ! It is in BEAUTIFUL condition from top to bottom and from front to
back. It will not disappoint someone looking for a good example of a sought after and hard to find collector car
which is not seen at every stop light for sure. If you have been looking but cannot find a Classic Ford Galaxie
Sunliner worthy of your hard earned money look NO further because this is the one ! All of the chrome and stainless
steel exterior body trim and moldings are in excellent condition including both bumpers, excellent original
badging, and excellent grill and headlight surrounds. All of the black rubber weatherstripping is soft, supple and
in great condition. This vehicle is in nice mechanical condition and it runs and drives very well. It is solid with
respect to the overall mechanical condition as well as the overall cosmetic impression. The undercarriage is also
as nice and solid as the rest of this car!

Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.

For EV drivers, realities may dampen the electric elation
Mon, Feb 20 2023The Atlantic, a decades-old monthly journal well-regarded for its intelligent essays on international news, American politics and cultural happenings, recently turned its attention to the car world. A piece that ran in The Atlantic in October examined the excesses of the GMC Hummer EV for compromising safety. And now in its latest edition, the magazine ran a compelling story about the challenges of driving an electric vehicle and how those experiences “mythologize the car as the great equalizer.” Titled “The Inconvenient Truth About Electric Vehicles,” the story addresses the economics of EVs, the stresses related to range anxiety, the social effects of owning an electric car — as in, affording one — and the overarching need for places to recharge that car. Basically, author Andrew Moseman says that EV life isn't so rosy: “On the eve of the long-promised electric-vehicle revolution, the myth is due for an update. Americans who take the plunge and buy their first EV will find a lot to love Â… they may also find that electric-vehicle ownership upends notions about driving, cost, and freedom, including how much car your money can buy. "No one spends an extra $5,000 to get a bigger gas tank in a Honda Civic, but with an EV, economic status is suddenly more connected to how much of the world you get to see — and how stressed out or annoyed youÂ’ll feel along the way.” Moseman charts how a basic Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck might start at $55,000, but an extended-range battery, which stretches the distance on a charge from 230 miles to 320, “raises the cost to at least $80,000. The trend holds true with all-electric brands such as Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid, and for many electric offerings from legacy automakers. The bigger battery option can add a four- or five-figure bump to an already accelerating sticker price.” As for the charging issue, the author details his anxiety driving a Telsa in Death Valley, with no charging stations in sight. “For those who never leave the comfort of the city, these concerns sound negligible," he says. "But so many of us want our cars to do everything, go everywhere, ferry us to the boundless life we imagine (or the one weÂ’re promised in car commercials),” he writes. His conclusions may raise some hackles among those of us who value automotive independence — not to mention fun — over practicalities.
Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.
