Great! Just Great! 80 degrees, an island paradise, drive your car whenever... Here I sit inside, both Skyliners scratching at the overhead door trying to get out... They don't realize its below zero...
Our '59 is # H9KW108901, dated 01L. November 1st, I do believe. Color is RE2 (red), Fordomatic with 2.91 gears. Fairlane badges everywhere!
MacsAutoParts.com is a good place to start. They have the parts you are looking for. You can order online or call them at (877)283-6920.

Eric - Revell has made a 1/25th scale '59 retractable for decades, and Modelhaus.com has a few variations of the 1958 Ford, in resin instead of plastic, also in 1/25th, (you'll need to cut the roof,...
A piece of 3/16" brake line from NAPA and an inexpensive tubing bender will get you what you need! Gary.
Scott - There are a few professional restorers on this forum, myself included. I'm sure someone here can answer your questions. In the past, I have used InterCityLines to move vehicles up and down...
According to my factory literature, the 332-4V is the Interceptor Special (along with the 352), the 332-2V is the "plain" Interceptor? Gary.
National Parts Depot (NPD) has them listed as part #T-6750-1 at $21.95.
There are several ads in Hemmings, online, etc., but, I would suggest looking through your local yellow pages for a music store that offers repairs on amplifiers and such. Good amps use tubes, people...
My '58 is almost ready, after a year long restoration. The power steering is spewing fluid out of the reservoir cap vent hole. Nothing was done to the system during the resto except a new set of...
The Concours Parts catalog doesn't seem to show the clip, but Casco shows it as "heater control cable retaining clip" their part #18548-C at $1.60. The problem is they have a minimum shipping rate of...
Follow the power wire, if it's fused you'll find it. There's a possibility that the light is not fused!
Gary.
There is no fuse box! All fuses are in line. NAPA has an assortment of sockets to choose from, if you don't mind a little tinkering.
Gary.
Concours Parts offers some of the needed parts, including an electric pump conversion, reservoir bags, etc. Casco also offers pieces and "kits" but some of the parts are Tbird specific, such as the...
Ed - I've got that used interior out of my '58 Skyliner ready for you if you want to come pick it up. I lost your contact info, but figured you'd be on this forum. Please let me know if you can still...
Is the non-original color factory applied or is it a repaint/color change? Some early cars were painted at the factory in colors not matching the data tags. Ben Smith's book states this was done if...
According to Ben J. Smith's book, the retractable started production in January, also noting that Ford asked permission to use the Skyliner name on March 11, 1957. I would imagine the scripts came to...
Thanks Bill, I'll give it a try.

Where the rocker meets the 1/4, measure up 5/8" from the rocker & in 5/8" from the 1/4. The bumpers fit into a recess that may not be there if the rockers were replaced. The size of the mounting hole...
