Hi from Australia
Just an easy question for you guys. Can someone tell me what car this is? Looks like a bit like a Fury to me.
Cheers
Mike

Yep... The one and only ford my dad ever bought was the 59, but not the retractable...Life is not a dress rehearsal… Live each day to it’s fullest!

A '59, I'm sure, but the grill pattern looks just a little different than I recall.Leo Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the RODS that take your breath away.

Those were the cool car in the day for the hard top retactable into the trunk. I wonder how much trunk space was left with the roof down?
Here is a shot of the roof being retracted

Well I guess this answers my own question. It would seem they put a hard inner box for trunk items that didn't want to get squished!

57 retracts were so much sweeter.But that 58 is definitely nice.
Car in the first picture is an Aussie car, different trim lines than US made Blue Ovals, usually better looking.Bob
