Ford for 1959 was basically a continuation of the facelifts that began with 1957’s all-new model. The ’59 Ford was updated, though still conservative, using a bumper and squared-off grille reminiscent of the ’58 Thunderbird and quad headlights, floating star-like ornaments, and simple side moldings. 1959 was the last year Ford produced the Skyliner retractable hardtop, but the soft topped Sunliner convertibles, such as this example, would continue to be produced for many years to come.
