Vehicle Overview:
This stunning 1959 Ford Skyliner retractable hardtop convertible is a true classic, offered for sale by the fourth owner, who has kept it for 12 years. Sold new and spending most of its life in Tennessee (a no-salt region), this car remains in original, unrestored condition with mostly original paint and interior. It is equipped with a powerful 352ci V8 engine producing 300hp, paired with the smooth Cruise-O-Matic transmission, and features power steering and power brakes for easy cruising.

This Skyliner retains its dealer-installed clear plastic seat covers, and seat belts have been added for safety. Additional features include chrome fender skirts and dual spotlights, enhancing its classic appeal.

Cosmetic Condition:
While this Skyliner is in fantastic original condition, there was minor damage to the top of the left rear fender at some point in its history. The repair was done, but there is a slight difference in paint in this area, which is typical of an unrestored vehicle. Overall, the car shows beautifully, with a stunning combination of original paint and well-preserved interior.

This 1959 Ford Skyliner is a rare find, especially in such well-preserved unrestored condition. It runs and drives smoothly, with all key systems recently serviced and in excellent working order. With the retractable hardtop and unique features like the fender skirts and spotlights, this Skyliner is a true icon of 1950s American automotive design.
