CHECK OUT THIS BLAST FROM THE PAST!!A NEVER RESTORED 1959 Ford Fairlane Galaxie 500 with ONLY 37,000 original miles.This car is 100% complete with not even one piece of chrome trim missing.

It was last driven to a car show in 2003 and parked in heated underground storage since. This car does not currently run, but could easily be fired up with the freshening up of the fuel system, clean out the old gas, remove varnish and possibly rebuild the carb. We have not tried to fire this motor because we don't want to damage it. A true collector may want to have this motor examined and/or preserved so we elected to leave it in it's current state.Overall this car looks great, it's got blemishes - some of the chrome is pitting or scuffed in spots, and the paint is a little dull and checkered from age. The electrical works well, the horn works, dome light works, turn signals and high/low beams all work. The wipers seem to be having a problem as well as the original AM radio, you can hear the radio power up and the speakers click on, but you cannot get any reception or static from it. The underside of this car shows little to no rust. There are a couple of rust bubble on the body, but not much at all to speak of. It still has the original jack and spare tire in the trunk. This car could be put in a museum as it, completely restored, or just made to drive and be proud of it's "patina"We also have 3, ten minute HD videos of this car in detail on YouTube, complete walk-around, inside and out, all electrical functions, etc.. Just ask and we can send you the URL links. There will be no disappointments or surprises with this car. It's a rare find in this condition! Good luck and thanks for looking!On May-06-13 at 07:51:02 PDT, seller added the following information: It has been brought to my attention by some avid car enthusiasts on eBay, that the wipers are vacuum actuated so the vehicle has to be running in order to test them, and that the radio is the old "tube" style radio and needs time to warm up, so both of these items that I mentioned as potentially non-functioning may indeed work. Thank you.
