A fella in Waterloo, IA had a '59 Ford. It was a fine car. Even provided a ride to and from a ballgame. It likely lasted him 11 years or better. His oldest son may have been given that Ford Galaxie as his first car.
Buy you a beer??? This was described as a history of the 1959 Ford. Instead, it was an account of endurance events utilizing Mobil Oil products and a 1958 Ford.
Probably FE. They mention fluid for the Cruise-O-Matic transmission. That transmission was coupled to the FE. The old Ford-O-Matic was coupled to to older series Y Block.
@@Al-thecarhistorian No, I have a 292 Y-block in my Galaxy and it came factory with the Cruise-o-Matic 3 speed auto. It even says "Cruise-o-Matic" on the shifter column.
Video is mistitled. There is no history of the '59 Ford, and there isn't a '59 Ford in the video at all. The car in the video is a 1958 Ford, and the video is about Mobil gas and lubricants. Very disappointing as I was counting on the title of the video.
Beautiful Classic 58 Ford.
I was looking forward to seeing the 59.
@@keithblevins5093 Same here brother
Yeah, me too.
That's actually a '58 Ford
This is all about the 1958 Ford. There's nothing here on the 1959 model.
Indeed. The title is deceiving, the 1959 is never even shown
I have heard of this test before. I was happy to see footage of it. I love vintage videos like this.
My dad had a ‘58 ford wagon in red and white. My Eastern European grandmother (dad’s mom) called it “the fire engine”. Good times.
How fitting, I own several Ford’s, and a repop Mobil gas pump.
I love these old videos.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
The car in the video was a 1958 Ford, not a 59.

Nice 58 Ford
Great vid!!!!! A time when sales were based on what went on on the race track!
In Australia the saying was "Win on Sunday sell on Monday."
This video has absolutely nothing to do with the history of the 1959 Ford.
Cool stuff
Wonder if that was the y block or fe

Not a 59 Ford anywhere!
Where's the '59 Ford? I had a '59 and it looked completely different to this '58.
I've had both.
There's not a '59 in the film.
Wrong year in title
Why not correct the thumbnail to show the correct car and year?
Mobil was once SOCONY, Standard Oil Company of New York, created after the breakup of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil monopoly in the early 1900s.
The United States of America at its peak.
So true George!
Video is mistitled. There is no history of the '59 Ford, and there isn't a '59 Ford in the video at all. The car in the video is a 1958 Ford, and the video is about Mobil gas and lubricants. Very disappointing as I was counting on the title of the video.
Not a glimpse of a 59 Ford all about the 58, Somebody don't know their cars and didn't do their homework
See you in Morocco. 😂
