WILL IT RUN? 1959 Ford Galaxie Fairlane 500 - 352 V8 - FIRST START in YEARS? - Horse Trading Deal?!

[@daviddavis4444]

I'm 63 my Parents had a 59 Ford Galaxie 500 with the 352 V8 and the bubble plastic covers on the seats I spent many nights laying in the back package tray watching the stars on old HWY 64 in Ark as a child.

All you had to do was mention the Pott County Legend and that Ford Courier knew you meant business.

31:33 I dont know if you noticed, but in the trunk, I saw the generator. Same mounting bracket as the one on my Edsel. It's got one! Just, in the wrong place.

Really love that 59

[@richardbrady2818]

We had 59 galaxie back in about 1960 my daddy drove that galaxie all 5 kids from california to oklahoma and back again, i'll never for get that car. I believe we had the ac blower in the window and the water bag on the front bumper too, man this bring back some memories, thanks yall

[@jdedmnds1]

That distributor is an ebay special. The top is GM HEI with a bottom for the engine. I have one in my 91 5.0 in my 79 fairmont. They work really good but I had some clearance issues with my heater hose connection on the front of the intake because the cap is so big.

[@J.Ray1776]

I was going to put a hei in my '72 dart but the distributor is in at the top behind the intake and there isn't enough room with the firewall so close. I ended up going with a Mopar Performance electronic ignition set with a high performance dwell in the distributor to replace the point set up it had. I bought it used without instructions on how to wire it up. I got it working and it would run great, smoke the tires real good, then when I came back and shut it off it wouldn't restart. After several coil replacements I figured out I had to have a resister between the 12v hot wire and the coil. It ran great but then the brakes went out. Lack of maintenance I guess. It never stopped that good to begin with 4 wheel manual drums. My brother came over and helped me tear the front end apart to put disc brakes on it. He left and it's still on blocks. I've been researching it and maybe one day I will figure out how to put it back together. Most shops won't even try to work on a old Dodge and the ones that do won't take a job after it's already apart. I can't move it with the front suspension missing. All the stuff had to come off each side. I have all the parts to put disc brakes on the front besides a proportioning valve for manual disc brakes, they seem to be non existent.

[@Wooley689]

My great grandfather had a 59 Ford, just love it.

[@michaelbenardo5695]

FYI, Ford never referred to it as a Galaxie Fairlane 500, just Galaxie. Glad you saved it.

[@RevStoration]

It has Fairlane all over it. I guess fairlane is the trim package.

[@michaelbenardo5695]

@@RevStoration They introduced the Galaxie well after the rest of the line-up. The Fairlane 500 had a different roof with a different rear window and different rear corner posts, but the same exterior trim. They had probably already made a big supply of emblems for the trunk lid and dashboard and didn't feel like making new ones.

[@ryancooper2826]

One VW for 4 Fords? Sounds like a deal to me brother!! That old 500 has lots of potential. Shoot, they all do! Great job as always y'all!
