With a jumping bass and off-beat syncopation, this is straight from Memphis' Beale Street. The Hammond organ and electric guitar play together as longtime friends, while the melody changes hands from guitar to organ to electric piano. 011

That is my favorite year for Ford they had beautiful lines and chrome. They won the car of the year award for 59 as the most stylish car.

I really like that dash too. It's a great summer cruiser. Thanks for checking it out my friend.

[RamblinAround]

You're right, this is the 300 hp 352. Thanks for taking a look!

[RamblinAround]

Those are neat looking boats, sounds like a fun project. That's cool that it has a celebrity history too.

I had a 1959 Ford convertible just like this one, though a different color, when I was 17.  I paid $95 for it.  While I had it, I put a 312 ci Thunderbird Special engine in it with a 3 speed.  It ran great.  Take notice how the guy has his arm out the window.  These cars had a flat edge at the top of the door that made it very comfortable to rest your arm.  Sold it for $150.  If we only knew.

Love these cars, so beautiful, great color combination and this one is pristine. Thanks for filming it! I'm really enjoying the little test drives that accompany these videos now.

In my opinion, 50's cars were and still are the perfect cruising cars. They're smooth and comfortable, but they also have plenty of power to spare, and my god, that V8 rumble...

[VictrolaJazz]

Beautiful!  I like the way you include all the specs that most sellers seem oblivious to, especially the axle ratio!  My favorite combo!

[RamblinAround]

Glad it brought back some memories....thanks for taking a look! They really are beautiful cars..I like the T-birds as well.

One of the best looking convertible models by Ford. Love that colour Years ago so many people were painting convertibles red but these days people have realised that they are worth more original spec. This two tone with the pastel green looks truly beautiful and very much of the time.

[RamblinAround]

It really is a great old cruiser. Thanks for taking a look my friend.

[RamblinAround]

It really is a beauty, glad you like it. Thanks for watching!

[RamblinAround]

That's a pretty cool car for someone in high school.

[RamblinAround]

It really is a fun car to cruise around in. Thanks for taking a look!

[RamblinAround]

Honestly, I prefer them without the continental kits too. This one sure is a beauty though. Thanks for watching!

[RamblinAround]

Glad you like it....thanks for watching!

[RamblinAround]

Congratulations....it's a real beauty. Glad you're having fun with it.

[Mikeisherest]

Wow! I totally forgot about looking at those front fender "gun sight" ornaments from back when I was ~6 years old.

[RamblinAround]

Those knobs may not be the safest, but they sure look good. Thanks for taking a look!
