Any '59 part cars out there with decent passenger front floorboard to spare? I am told there are no reproductions specifically for the '59. Thanks

Anyone ever replaced floorboards on a '59 Custom or Fairlane Fordor with one of the reproductions by Carpenter or EMS ? I'm told they're really just for 57 and 58. Has anyone ever tried them on a '59 ? How about the toe board? Thanks

A couple of newbie questions as I am shopping to buy a '50 Custom 4-door like my Dad had from 1955 to '59. 1) Any difference Custom and Custom Deluxe ? if so, what ? 2) Did the 3-speeds all have overdrive ? 3) I have only a couple of B&W photos of my Dad's car. He says it was like a Camel...

A fellow in Medford, Oregon is clearing out his lot of 200+ cars. Among them is this complete '59 Custom Fordor. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-Ford-Custom-4-DOOR-SEDAN-NO-RESERVE-/182807722805 She's pretty rough, but appears to have a lots of usable sheet metal and trim; she's got California...

Oops, just realized this should be on the For Sale section.

I replaced the rear shocks on my '59 Custom 300 Fordor. The rear end is much higher than it used to be. I think it is too high. Any idea how high the bottom of rear bumper should be from the ground when it rolled off the assembly line ? Thanks

Finally managed to upload photo. Can any of those streaks be polished off ?

Any tips on how to get my grille looking better (photo coming) ? Thanks

Has anyone got a '59 Fairlane or '59 Custom 300 with one of the following original interiors still in the car? Trim Code (Fairlane = Custom) / Description 30 = 024 / Radiant Blue Sof-Textured Vinyl Bolster with Blue Shadoweave Fabric 31 = 032 / Radiant Green Sof-Textured Vinyl Bolster with...

I've seen photos of the rubber plugs. Here are a couple examples:

Very interesting! But wasn't the "base" color the first character in the color code on the door plate? April Green (G) and Colonial White (E) is GE on my doorplate.

Could the cars have been painted differently depending on which plant built the car? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Comparing the paint pattern around the "A" pillar in the 2 photos, my Dad's on the left, mine on the right. I'm certain that the pillar on my car should have been painted green, not white. But I'm not sure about how far the green should be extended onto the top part of the "inner" fender that...

Interesting. If door switches were standard on the Custom, then maybe what I'm (barely) seeing in the B & W photo is the switch. - Would it have looked like in the attached photo ? - Would the Fordor have had it on the back doors as well ? If mine were removed for repaint, then I would think...

For cars that were not equipped with the optional (?) door switch to automatically turn on/off the courtesy light, was there a rubber delete plug the cover the hole ? (see yellow arrow in the attached photo). The car on the left (my Dad's) seems to have had such a cover; the one on the right...

Looking for original door panels and seat covers in Green. The trim code on the data plate would have been 31 on 4 door Fairlane (Body 58A). The full text description is "Radiant Green Sof-Textured Vinyl Bolster with Green Shadoweave Fabric" This was an "added trim" to the Custom 300 toward...

Were the dealers provided with a template or overlay or instructions to know exactly where to drill the holes on the driver's fender to install the optional outside mirror ? Thanks

So I took a closer look. No light bulbs, sockets, wiring, or switch. Were backup lights an option for the Custom 300 in '59? Does the absence of the black ring indicate that those lenses are just fillers? If so, are there still kits available to add the feature ? Thanks

What is the best way to restore these hubcaps (see attached photo) for: 1) Rust Removal. 2) White paint restoration. 3) Stainless steel shine. 4) Dent removal. Thanks
