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

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!
