1959 Ford Fairlane back in 50s and 60s they make these vehicles anymore engine haul butt new paint job windshield tires good mechanic run like new again from dealership awesome video bless you happy holidays
This brought back some good memories. When I was sixteen I bought a 59 Ford Fairlane 2 door post and it had a 292 with a speed on the tree. Sure wish I still had it. Thank you for rescuing this one. By the way that tank does mount there.
Man, that is a cool car. Great find. And just a year older than me! When I saw '59, I thought Y-block, but no! Really looking forward to the first start. Thanks.
The 59 Ford two door hard top Was my first car. Solid white , red and black interior. With the late model 352 automatic transmission. It does it bring back memories.
Love that car. Being a 2dr sedan makes even worth more and rare. Did my drivers test in March 1962 in 59 Galaxie town sedan. I ended up with it in 1984 and had it untill 2000. 332 v8 w cruiseomatic ps and pb. Dark green white top. Last known was at Country classics in Staunton Il. Miss that car.
I was born in 59. I have my parents 58 Cadillac they bought in 1960. I grew up with this car. Life long southern California car. Has no rust . I drive it regularly for all my around town errands. Extremely original car, including power train. 365 engine. Hope this one turns out ok for you.
Well I had the same 59 FORD. Paid 151 dollars and 71 cents. That was the cost for a engine rebuilt kit and gaskets. The guy wanted to pay the parts store bill off. That is a great barn find. THANKS
When I was growing up in Atlanta a neighbor owned a late 50's Galaxie 500 with the power folding convertible to hardtop option housed in the trunk. It was wild to see it it operate.
@@19fortynine10 Nixon, who was VP at the time, took a '58 retractable hardtop to the USSR and presented it to Kruschev. The US had a show of our machinery, appliances, etc. in Moscow then.
Now that's what I call a real barn find! I haven't seen a more solid, untouched 60 years old car ever. Thanks for bringing this one to us, JW. It'll be nice to hear it run again.
I bought a 59 Fairlane 500 Galaxy for $500 in 2002 only had 43k miles solid white with red interior and a 312cc also had the makeshift oil squirters plumed through the valve cover gasket for rocker shaft oiling. I miss that car So much.
Awesome find! Love your content and other guys preserving our classics! I have a '70 Malibu original paint/everything..350/TH350, A/C one owner got it out of an estate sale 12 years ago in sun city 92 year old lady had passed on, bought it new.Paint shows beautifully! Keep up the awesome work!
My first car was a 65 Fairlane 500 convertible. Man did I ever love that car. Stayed with Fords ever since. My everyday ride now is an 87 Lincoln Continental Town car.
Yessiree, I remember when all cars were that size. I love the old iron to tinker with and drive on sunday and holidays . But hard to beat the dependability of todays cars, and ease of maintenance. Just gas and an oil change every 10,000 or so and drive
My great uncle recently gave me a 59 galaxy 500 4 door, I was about to say your fairlane looks just like my galaxy same color too. Thank you for clearing that up. Wish I could show you some pics. I’m jealous though, yours is in WAY better shape!
My favorite mid century American car. Dad had one for a while.. 2 door, white.. It had the extra ‘chrome’ triangular block in the rear window that was a lead-in trim for the wide C pillar trim.
That really is a solid Ford Fairlane Galaxy 500. The condition it's in is actually great for an original barn/shed find. Definitely worth no less than $5,000 as it sits.
Good find indeed! Two doors are getting scarce. I've owned one for several years now and it receives lots of thumbs up while crusin'. Hope to get rid of the road draft tube and go to a pcv system to make it burn cleaner. It averages about 12 mpg, but it's worth it!
Boy has that car come a long way back, at least it was under cover its lot better looking & running now. To bad it wasn't painted but I see what your saying you'd never get back what you got into it now either I hope get a good price for it you put lot work into it all your videos prove that.
Jonathan - steering “...not as bad as the rat-rod...” 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t know how you stopped yourself laughing when you said that! Can’t wait for the first start... It really is something to behold to see the condition of much of the body, especially structure (e.g. trunk), the frame & especially that motor!
I’d almost forgotten the layer of sludge in pretty much all engines from the 70s back. Quaker State and Penzoil did seem to be the worst! I stripped a relic from my core collection and was reminded of how nasty engines were before good quality detergent oil. No detergent oil doesn’t “clean” anything, it just keeps the particulates in suspension so that when you did your 2000 mile oil changes, you were able to drain most of the sludge with the oil. Most cars had an oil filter as an option, and the bypass flow types only ran about 10% of the oil through the filter. The sludge gradually separated out and settled in all the low spots. The sludge was lots of burnt or partially burnt hydrocarbons and lead, the grey appearance is from the lead, the black nasty stuff mostly carbon! Use gloves when you are cleaning up the mess.
These '58 and 59' Fairlanes were beautiful cars back then, as kids we tried to see who among us could see the most brand new cars on the road when each new year's production came out. I always won, because the Ford dealer was right next door to my school and that where I'd spend a lot time,...no, in the dealer's yard , not school.
nice solid old car. Who ever restores it is starting with a great find. All pieces there. Most expensive part is replacing missing parts and time to track them down. Course that is some of the fun. My Dad had a 58 with the 352 and automatic, old police car. ran great, but only got 8 miles to the gallon. You need a new windshield wiper on the tow truck ( I think)
Lotta guys on here commenting that they had a car like this so let say that I had a 59 Fairlane 4dr in my senior year in HS. It was red and white with small v8. The cook where I worked after school had the exact car you have here. Even same color. I bought mine in April of 1964 for $1000. . I earned my own money for it @ $0.90 an hr lol. How much does a 5 year old ford cost today and could a 16 yo kid afford it working at a min. wage job today ?
She may not be perfect but finding one that complete and unrestored is VERY rare. Excellent find! Can’t wait for the first start video. Also, it looks like it’s time for some new windshield wiper blades on your rollback. Looks like the drivers side one is peeling.
That's a solid car for sure. Well worth restoring. There are 2 1963 Galaxy's here. My friend at the garage has one, and the other is at Wragby. I've shown both, Wragby shows 2016 and 2018. Think there is also another in Lincolnshire.
It looks to be a very early 70's air cleaner housing. The engine does look like it was originally Ford Blue... from the video anyway... so I would guess 66 or newer... maybe even very early 70's also. Still a really cool solid old Ford Galaxy worth restoring!!!
I like it...looks real solid for as old as it is & will clean up good...l don't believe the engine/trans is original to the car (could be wrong - l didn't know fairlane & Galaxy 500 could be the same car - so what do l know) the breather cap (& voltage regulator?) in the trunk looks period correct for the car...4 barrel 352 - might be an "interceptor"...l've only seen that carburetor (motorcraft, autolite?) twice - once in a book & once disassembled in a box a friend was trying to get a kit for...l agree about the oil & wondering about the sump screen & l think that upper radiator hose will slip on the water neck if tilted down...these Fords always started better for me than Mopars & GMs - l believe it'll fire right off...those fender skirts sure look 'right'...l think you got another good one Jonathan...somebody's gonna come get this - it's all there
AWESOME SCORE!!!!!! Finally A coupe! Now that's A car to dump money into! I am always amazed seeing guys fix four doors! Lookforward to seeing what ya create here!

57 or a 58 retractable hardtop

I own a 1959 ford custom but I must say i'm drooling over this Galaxie!
Looks like my first one,mine was blue and white.Brings back a lot of great memories!!!!
Nice car for someone to restore. My first car was a 68 Ford Fairlane 500 two door. Was a good car .And my dad had a 59 Ford Fairlane 500 four door
Now that's what I call a real barn find! I haven't seen a more solid, untouched 60 years old car ever. Thanks for bringing this one to us, JW. It'll be nice to hear it run again.
Awesome! Wish I was able to go out and save old cars... they need to be preserves
Nice car. Should be restored though no one would ever get their money back. Would be a labor of love.
That’s an awesome find love the galaxy’s
I bought a 59 Fairlane 500 Galaxy for $500 in 2002 only had 43k miles solid white with red interior and a 312cc also had the makeshift oil squirters plumed through the valve cover gasket for rocker shaft oiling. I miss that car So much.
It was a factory order plain Jane car with two barrel and dual exhaust and 2 speed ford o matic.
Awesome find! Love your content and other guys preserving our classics! I have a '70 Malibu original paint/everything..350/TH350, A/C one owner got it out of an estate sale 12 years ago in sun city 92 year old lady had passed on, bought it new.Paint shows beautifully! Keep up the awesome work!
That would make a great project car for sure! Everything is there and in fairly decent shape. I would love to own a car like this.
Nice find every one looks over the fairlanes, it's either falcons or galaxies. Can't wait to see more
My grandparents have a 63 Galaxy 390ci 3 speed in mint green with dark green interior.
I owned two 59s years ago and loved those cars. I hope you do follow up videos as you work on this baby. She looks very restorable. nice.
I enjoy your work very much, and I love the fords!
Own a 67 galaxy ... would love to have this one ..so much style oh yea!! ✊🏼
I've had 64, 65, 66, 68 and 69. I could never find a 67 for sale back in the day. Very attractive car, especially the XL.
@@tomadkins2866 all beautiful years always wanted 64,65 found mine in a yard here in az
My dad was a ford and quaker state man. I still remember the smell and the sludge in some of those engines we worked on.
Awesome car, I sure hope someone buys it and restores it. It's survived this long, it deserves a good home.
My first car was a 65 Fairlane 500 convertible. Man did I ever love that car. Stayed with Fords ever since. My everyday ride now is an 87 Lincoln Continental Town car.
That's a beauty and unbelievably solid. Going to make an awesome project for someone.

352 were great engines . ENJOYED ! thanks man..
That thing is very cool!,,
" I can use tools .... I like tools" big smile on that quote ;-)
My 65 Galaxie had a 352 4b, dual exhaust Cruise-o-matic, great engine, strong and not to bad on gas.
My great uncle recently gave me a 59 galaxy 500 4 door, I was about to say your fairlane looks just like my galaxy same color too. Thank you for clearing that up. Wish I could show you some pics. I’m jealous though, yours is in WAY better shape!
A good looking ride under the grime... worth the effort to clean it up and get it running, maybe then a classic. Another great project, for sure.
wow, it was so cool seeing you winch that car out of the shed. That is going to be one awesome car when someone gets it restored.
Nice find! A good pressure washing and it would look like a new car. I can’t wait to hear it run.
Jonathan, I swear you know this stuff is going to get me over there!!!!
My favorite mid century American car. Dad had one for a while.. 2 door, white.. It had the extra ‘chrome’ triangular block in the rear window that was a lead-in trim for the wide C pillar trim.

Wow super solid pretty much rust free
What a find.
That was a good find I'm glad you rescued it thanks for the video
One very cool car
Cool old car
Good find indeed! Two doors are getting scarce. I've owned one for several years now and it receives lots of thumbs up while crusin'. Hope to get rid of the road draft tube and go to a pcv system to make it burn cleaner. It averages about 12 mpg, but it's worth it!
Cant wait to see that old Jewel first start Jonathan. That seems pretty solid for what it is.
nice my first car was 4 door fairlane 500 1959 still got the 292 v8 in great condition i hope you get it i miss my old one
On the transmission in the Ford they had a Ford "O" Matic & a Cruise "O" Matic I always like the 57,58,59 Ford.
Cool old car . thanks. For saving it
Boy has that car come a long way back, at least it was under cover its lot better looking & running now. To bad it wasn't painted but I see what your saying you'd never get back what you got into it now either I hope get a good price for it you put lot work into it all your videos prove that.

The Galaxie was a mid-year package for the Fairlane 500 that introduced a Thunderbird-style roofline.
and called the Fairlane 500 Galaxie.
Great shed find, with Quaker State motor😄 funny! That should make a decent restoration for someone.
Definitely going to see what your going to want for her, I ain't seen one that solid in a long time.
My dream car!
Not a post , as you already know Jonathan. Great find. That car will go quick..
Great video thanks for sharing.

Trim package & fender skirts look great.
Nice find!
Oh Lordy I wish I had the time and space ....that is a solid find... glad you rescued it, somebody will get a good car with lots of potential.👍👍
My most favorite car. Can't wait for the next video!

Quaker state engine.....aint heard that in forever
Never did use it. Always heard it had a lot of wax in it that would plug your oil passages. That may have been what was on his dipstick.
BAtadCrazy - I agree; too much wacks on your dipstick is bad for you...
We call em Pennzoil engines when you pull the valve covers and theres a inch of sludge on top of the heads lol
I’d almost forgotten the layer of sludge in pretty much all engines from the 70s back. Quaker State and Penzoil did seem to be the worst! I stripped a relic from my core collection and was reminded of how nasty engines were before good quality detergent oil.

The sludge was lots of burnt or partially burnt hydrocarbons and lead, the grey appearance is from the lead, the black nasty stuff mostly carbon! Use gloves when you are cleaning up the mess.
Before it sales,
Could you do a video of it just washed.
It would be nice to see what it really looks like. Nice car.

Oh, man! You gotta keep that car! Take your time & bring it back to its former glory!
Love that year ford, and it’s a two door ! Favorite color too.
I'm glad you got it out, I have a soft spot for those old fords .

If they make 7.89 a hour it is the same money . So any 8k used car.
Hell no,inflation and lowe wages,would be impossible to afford any of these eff cars.

Hi Johnboy i dont see to much rust under the car nice ride.

Pretty nice.
Looks like a great find .look really good shape for the year
Awesome car,same age as me!! I cant wait to see her run..It really needs tires,Hope you throw some good used ones on it!
Looking forward to the first start video!!

I had a 59 Skyliner, great driving car. Wish I still had it. Of course I wish I still had most of my cars.
Thats a great project.
AWESOME SCORE!!!!!! Finally A coupe! Now that's A car to dump money into! I am always amazed seeing guys fix four doors! Lookforward to seeing what ya create here!
Don't see many of these around these days up here in the northern parts. Fun to look at.
It's a very nice car
How Cool😷👍
I have that same carpet covering my porch!
It's a year older than I am, and a lot more sound, lol.
This had the bird roofline and extra trim
