1959 Ford Custom 300 Police Car

Description

This is the car for those who wants a bit of fun with their classics. After all, a 1959 Ford Galaxie dressed in full police livery is the kind of car that's going to get you invited to everything from parades to charity events.

A '59 Galaxie is already a pretty desirable car even before it was turned into a nostalgia police machine. After all, it was the first year for this top-of-the-line full-size name. It's true post-war styling with an extra wide grille, jet-inspired taillights, and a wraparound windshield & back window. Plus, you'll love the details like the full-length trim line that that highlights the sporty kick-up at the rear. And only heightening this vintage appeal is the livery of the Pinellas County Sheriff. Nothing beats the sound of the old-school mechanical siren. Plus, with the service-grade black & white paint, gumball light, and sheriff badges on the door all remind you of a time when solving a crime meant returning a homemade pie.

Inside, the taut black vinyl seats and newer black carpeting do a great job of keeping this looking cop-correct while still being fresh. We doubt you'll be carting around any offenders in the back, but this full-sized Ford has plenty of room to carry family and friends when it's parade time. It's a little hard not to feel like Barney Fife the moment you slip behind the classic Ford steering wheel and gaze at all the classic instruments and controls for the police siren and intercom.

Under the hood is Ford's trusty 223 cubic-inch straight six. Not only is this correct motor for an A-code car like this, but it also has the right features like the red valve cover and side air grabber. But despite being quite period-correct, you'll also see the right signs of care and maintenance like the newer hoses and Optima red top battery. That's why this one starts easily and idles nicely. And while some modern cop cars will be able to provide a little hotter pursuit, you'll be surprised how much fun and control you have with his one's three-on-the tree column-shifted manual transmission.

Here's an attention-grabbing classic with very affordable price. You're not the only one who is tempted by this Galaxie's authority, so hurry up and call today!
