1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Classic Car

Mileage not verifiable according to the speedometer; Not roadworthy; Very large six-seater full-size sedan with 5.4 liter V-8 engine, 225 hp, three-speed gearbox with overdrive and freewheel. The car offered here is of special historical value! From the time it was delivered by Ford Hinteregger in 1959, it served for the first few years as the official vehicle of the Austrian Minister of the Interior, Josef Afritsch. The car was registered to the Ministry of the Interior and bore the license plate "W 12". All this can be proven with the enclosed original papers from 1959. After being segregated from the civil service, the imposing car then went into private ownership. The gearbox and the cardan shaft have not yet been installed to this day and are of course included with the car. This particularly rare and impressive Ford model, which was awarded a medal as "The World's Most Beautifully Proportioned Car" at the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels, is of interest to both collectors and investors as it has a very interesting Austrian history.
