TerryB Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Today’s winner for dumbest ad of the day. It’s a “barn find” that belongs to this guy’s father since the 1970s. Was it disguised as a pig in the barn and his father never told him about it? This person needs to look up the meaning of barn find. The lengths some people go to trying to enhance the perception of value. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 One too many zeros in the price. I'd still think twice before offering $1850. Prices in the PNW have been severely over optimistic for a long time. Is this the extremely rare and highly desirable non-retractable rear sun shade? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Just one of those cars that simply is not good looking. Just one man's opinion. Edited February 14, 2022 by avgwarhawk (see edit history) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never liked '59 Fords either. So that makes at least two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthcranbrook Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Looks like a rusty bucket from the appearance of the trunk interior and fuel door. And the roof(upon closer inspection). This is one of those cases where the more you look the more you see. And not necessarily in a good way.

auburnseeker Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 You could have this in tan/ putty, a 4 door sedan that looks tired and worn or that snazy Pink Packard 400 2 door hardtop with working torsion ride suspension for less. Wouldn't take much thought for me to decide. What's with photographing it in the rain? Does it rain every single day there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) The Packard would easily be my choice. Nobody in their right mind would pay anywhere near that insane asking price for that ugly boring Ford unless it were in pristine/mint condition. Even then I would be hard pressed to even pay half that. We've had plenty of dry days in the last two weeks but we're further south of Snohomish.

kingrudy Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Has the value of rust suddenly gone up and I didn't notice it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 After a week of sunny days and comfortable temperatures it is raining again today. Everybody in my neighborhood was smart enough to mow over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I thought by now the seller would have realized he made a mistake and removed the extra zero by now. I guess not.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesR Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I'm not going to criticize the car, but even though I try to respect originality on most old vehicles when possible, I'd have to strip and repaint those wheels. I couldn't leave them looking like that. Or at least I'd clean off the loose rust, spray them with Fluid Film and maybe find some full wheel covers to hide the extensive corrosion. My wife would hate that color on any car, but I think it looks cool on '50's stuff. I like the pattern on the upholstery, too. It suits that car.

Guest Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 That's an awful lot of pink (but it works with the license plate). Perhaps if the roof were painted white or black and it had a set of full hubcaps it would tone it down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I can remember my uncle buying one of these new. I was 9 years old and thought it was an ugly car. Now 71 and still think they are less than appealing. 57's = beautiful, 58's = OK, 59's = well, you know. PS, If you own a 59 and are enjoying it I sincerely hope you will continue to do so and ignore my comments. I'd make a lousy art critic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957Birdman Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I must point out that the 1959 Ford outsold the 1959 Chevy. It was a conservative design that clicked with the buying public better than the Chevy with the "bug eye" rear end. GM realized their error and softened up the rear end design for 1960. IMHO the 1957 was the best styled of the three years. Lew Bachman 1957 Thunderbird 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 If I remember correctly, the the old sales literature I saw several years ago claimed that the '59 Ford won some industry award for styling excellence. I don't remember much about the award, except that it was presented in Paris, France (I think.) I also like the '57 Ford design the best of those three years...('57 - 9.) Many don't like the '58, but I think it's great. I like the '59 least of the three years, but I like it a lot better than the '59 Chevy. Now that I don't see these old cars so much anymore, my appreciation for the '59 Ford's styling has grown somewhat. Same for the '59 Chevy, to a lesser degree.
