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
seat, nice original Galaxie steering wheel, excellent black raven carpeting, excellent matching Geranium/Colonial
White and Raven Black door panels, Excellent Geranium/Colonial White and Raven Black Pleated rear seat, VERY NICE
ORIGINAL factory gauge clusters, VERY NICE White vinyl sun visors, VERY NICE Matching Geranium dash, VERY NICE
Geranium POWER convertible top and a VERY NICE Matching Colonial White convertible top boot cover. The GORGEOUS -
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!

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg
Fri, 07 Jun 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.
Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
