You are 100% correct on describing this '59 Ford. The '59 Fairlane 500 came out in fall of 1958. The Galaxie, square roof, came out in early '59. It was a copy of the square Tbird roof line.

My Dad bought one the same color new it was a 2 door poles it had a 352 300hp with 3 speed with overdrive a beautiful car in its day

In the late 60's ----- my older brother had a white 59 ford fairlane 500, 4 door hardtop, (not sedan) I remember driving it several times. It had the 352 V8 with automatic transmission.

Had the same model and year..even same two tone paint. Engine was a 352" with a three speed and overdrive..I believe it was originally an automatic transmission mission. Bought a 427" FE 425 HP with a broken rod and rebuilt it in machine shop. Installed it and exploded the tranny on first power pull. Found an entire drag car with a four speed and blowproof bellhousing..competition clutch and pressure plate. Put the stock steel wheels and full hubcaps with a set of cheater slicks..looked like totally stock..threw a jacket over the four speed shifter with the column linkage dangling.. Passed it off has a stocker when street racing and lied..LOL Left a 56 Chevy yellow gasser in the dust..327" inch and four speed..fun times!

I believe the club victoria didn't have the squared top. Galaxie was top of the line. I had one like this in Aqua. You can google 1959 Ford factory adds and see it., Beautiful car!

FACTS.

Ford never referred to this model as a "Fairlane 500 Galaxie", just Galaxie, despite the trunk lid saying "Fairlane 500" on it. The car that WAS advertised as a Fairlane 500 had a different roof and a different rear window.

Good car. Just balance the tearing. Family had a car like that when I was young

If it had the T thunderbird engine it would easily be worth a couple hundred thousand or more.

Not sure where you get this? They used to call the 352 engines Thunderbird engines since they put those standard equipment in the T Birds. It might add “some”value but not much. This,one has the 332 which were pretty much the same.

@@diedonner299 Yeah, that’s what I meant. I believed they also called 292’s Thunderbird Spcials.

I have one but looking for a front windshield and radiator automatic

332 engine?

Yea a bit much and quite confusing. Not sure what they were thinking at Ford when they came up with the naming/badging…..

The Galaxie came out a few months after the other models, and looks like they didn't know how well it would be received, so they played it safe. They never referred to it as "Fairlane 500 Galaxie", just Galaxie.

I believe you might be wrong about this 332 cubic inch I watched the other video about the Ford Fairlane Galaxie 59 and you said 332 cubic inch I didn't know they had 352 but I never heard of a 332 cubic inch I might be wrong

All 59 Fords had a 292 as the base V8, with a 332 and a 352 the optional V8s. PS: Ford never referred to the Galaxie as a "Fairlane 500 Galaxie", just Galaxie. The car they advertised as the Fairlane 500 had a different roof and a different rear window.

They came first with 332 and then 352

gorgeous car, pant pant pant

Fairlane was tht top of the line Ford,, Galaxy was introduced late 50s, and Galaxy became top of line in 60s, Fairlane was a secondary line, lower than Galaxy.

Nice
