1959 FORD GALAXIE CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE

Details

This beautifully restored Ford Galaxie convertible is a mild custom that has been nosed and decked. The professional body work was followed by a dark Black Cherry Pearl base coat/clear coat polished to a high luster. New Monroe shocks have been installed, along with a new 4-wheel disc brake setup that includes drilled and slotted rotors with all-new brake lines. Adding a nice rumble is the new aluminized dual-exhaust system. The 352ci engine was rebuilt and runs very well. Enhanced with a

dress-up kit to add a little sparkle, the engine was also treated to an original Ford three-carburetor setup from the '60s. Stainless-steel nuts and bolts have been used extensively throughout this build. A new three-core aluminum radiator ensures this engine runs cool. Other features include a new gas tank with a new gas line and fittings. Both the frame and floor were sand-blasted to bare metal and painted with rust-inhibitor paint. The floor was insulated to keep noise and heat to a minimum. The seats were taken down to bare metal, painted, and new foam and padding was installed with a new interior kit from LeBaron Bonney. A new convertible top, pads and rear window were installed, along with a new top well, new boot, new top motor, rams and lines. A new tinted windshield and side glass was installed. The stainless parts have been polished, and the bumpers and chrome parts rechromed. Completing the custom look are a new tube grille and Boyd Coddington Crown Jewel mag wheels with new tires. This car looks and drives great. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
