This 1959 Skyliner is known as "Yellow" and is the car I drove in High School. When I upgraded from the Skyliner to a 1966 Mustang convertible I parked the car outdoors at my dad's farm. Over the years the car sank into the soil and the frame rusted through. When we tried to remove the car from the soil it pulled apart.
This rusty mess still has many usable parts for restoring the other two Skyliners

Trim parts, bumpers and other parts.

This windshield is still good and very hard to find since it only fits the 1959 Skyliner and will not fit any other 1959 Ford models.

More usable parts including the square metal "tub". This "tub" fits in the trunk, over the spare tire, and is where items are to be stored when the top is retracted. It also keeps items away from limit switches that sequence the movement of the top and trunk lid. Many Skyliners are missing this "tub". I only have this one.
