The 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner was a stunning body style in 1959 with its power retractable - "Hide-Away" - hardtop and still is some 58 years later !! The retractable hardtop operation was a mechanical symphony orchestrated by 4 lock motors, 4 lift jacks, 10 relays, 3 drive motors, 10 limit switches, 8 circuit breakers and an extra 610 feet of wiring !! We recently purchased this Skyliner Retractable from the daughter of the ORIGINAL OWNER who was her father !! She inherited this BEAUTY 25 years ago when her father passed away and as you can tell in the pictures and video it was the family's pride and joy !! She told us that the odometer reading of 96,140 miles were the actual original miles however the odometer/speedometer stopped working shortly after we purchased the car and we had to have it replaced with a rebuilt working unit. It still retains it's correctly mounted - FACTORY ORIGINAL - driver's door pillar mounted Ford data / VIN plate which is shown in a picture. This is a NICE - DRY - SOLID - Washington state - Idaho High Mountain Desert - Western car and it shows! I drove this car for the last several days as my everyday driver and it ran and drove GREAT !! If you can make it to Boise in the next ten days please come drive and look this BEAUTY over for yourself, you won't be disappointed ! THIS IS A QUALITY CAR THAT IS READY TO DRIVE, SHOW AND ENJOY !! At the heart of this Skyliner is what appears to be the VERY STRONG !! - FACTORY ORIGINAL !! - OPTIONAL - Code "H" - (300 HORSEPOWER FROM THE FACTORY !!) - 352 CID V8 "Interceptor Thunderbird Special" motor that is running VERY well and also sports the ORIGINAL 4 barrel intake manifold, ORIGINAL exhaust manifolds, ORIGINAL "Ford" scripted valve covers, ORIGINAL "Interceptor" scripted air cleaner housing and the ORIGINAL 4 barrel carburetor. Sounds GREAT too with the factory style true dual exhaust system with dual chrome tips. The engine is backed by a SMOOTH - ORIGINAL - Code "4" - "Cruise-O-Matic" - three speed - automatic transmission which is also functioning very well.
