1959 Ford Galaxie Skyliner

1959 Ford Galaxie Skyliner For consignment, a Galaxie whose claim to fame is that Skyliner was given a complicated mechanism that enabled it to fold down the front portion of its roof and retract it under the rear trunk lid. No hydraulics were used like the regular convertibles of that time. It had seven reversible electric motors, four jack lifts, a series of relays, ten limit switches, ten solenoids, four locking mechanisms for its roof, and two for the rear trunk lid. The car's fuel tank was placed vertically in the back of its rear seat, giving the car added safety in the event of a rear end collision.
