1959 Ford Galaxie 500
The Ford Galaxie 500 was introduced in 1959 as Ford’s flagship full-size model, designed to compete directly with Chevrolet’s Impala. With its sweeping fins, wide chrome grille, and bold styling, the Galaxie perfectly captured the optimism of 1950s America, while its V8 power delivered the smooth cruising experience that drivers expected of a top-tier sedan.
This example presents in black and is powered by a V8 paired with a 2-speed automatic transmission. The vendor reports the transmission requires a pump, but significant mechanical work has already been carried out. This includes new brake shoes, cylinders, hoses, fluid flush, and master cylinder replacement, as well as a new water pump, radiator hoses, thermostat, coolant flush, and spark plugs. Suspension work includes new ball joints, control arm bushes, bump stops, shackle bushes, leaf spring bushes, rear shocks, and sway bar bushes, ensuring the car sits on a solid platform.
The 1959 Galaxie was a symbol of Ford’s push into the jet-age styling trend, with its name inspired by America’s fascination with space exploration. These cars became popular in period films and TV, often used to evoke the prosperity and style of late-50s America. Today, the Galaxie 500 remains a sought-after classic, admired both for its dramatic looks and its role in one of the most iconic eras of American automotive design.
