Our featured automobile is the very popular 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie. Ford chose the Galaxie name because of the large public interest in the space race that was in full gear during the late 1950’s and into the 1960’s.

The 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie is a great looking car with solid performance and engineering. The Galaxie trim was Ford’s most expensive offering in 1959.

The Ford Galaxie was a full size automobile produced from 1958 through 1974 and  was Ford’s response to the highly popular Chevrolet Impala. In regards to the Ford Fairlane, it became a mid size model beginning in the 1962 model year.

In 1959 the top trim level for Ford was the Fairlane 500. The Fairlane was given the name of Henry Ford’s Dearvorn, Michigan estate. The Galaxie trim was introduced during that model year, about mid year, and assumed the top full size Fairlane trim level. At that time the Galaxie and Fairlane badges were seen together on the same automobile.
