292 V8 3 SPEED ON THE TREE ORIGINAL COLORS SOUTHERN VEHICLE LOTS OF DOCUMENTATIO

Description

The two-door wagon wasn't just exclusive to the Chevy Nomad, and this 1959 Ford Ranch Wagon proves that the big blue oval did it with more style. And not only does this have a great color combo and V8 power, but also there are terrific docs. It makes for a head-turning classic that has a story to tell.

This is a car that defines an era. A two-door sporty wagon with plenty of brightwork is exactly how you want to represent the inspiration of the 1950s. This Ranch Wagon's impressiveness starts with the paint. The two-tone Wedgewood Blue and Colonial White is the factory-correct combo. It received a respray later in life, and it has worn in just enough to wear its history well. This car has the perfect look for you to tell the history of a car that was born in Atlanta and lived in Georgia for half a century (and we have to docs to prove it was there until 2009!) Workmanship is quite good with the original bright trim providing the color separation line along the entire side of the car. The full length silver streak needs good sheetmetal for it to make this kind of stellar impression over the whole body. The distinct quad headlight front end, wide chrome bumpers, and jet-inspired taillights create a great total package. Even the color-matched wheels with whitewalls have a terrific coordinating style. So we bet you're already imagining spending the day at the car show with the two-piece tailgate open for a picnic-style afternoon.

Inside the full sea of blue continues with hints of white to remind you of the exterior color combo. There are multiple tones on the seats, door panels, carpeting, and dash for a stylish and coordinated appearance that always impresses. What's also nice is its level of preservation. You can see it's a true '50s design, so there's plenty of stylized bright trim, a classily thin steering wheel, and even the AM radio is still on display. And while the back seat is great for sharing with family and friends, it also folds down to give you a classic with maximum function.

Speaking of function, there's a nice V8 under the hood. Just like the rest of the car, the 292 cubic-inch motor has the look of a high degree of authenticity. It fires up nicely and gives a sweet sound out of the dual exhaust. Plus, the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission gives you proper control.

The sale comes with an impressive paperwork file that includes the original bill of sale, window sticker, owner's manual, and maintenance records. So while a two-door wagon is always cool, you can see this one has the pedigree to stand out in every crowd. Don't miss this deal, call today!
