Here’s another Ford that’s worthy of inclusion in this collection. It’s a 1959 Fairlane 500 Skyliner, which featured a retractable Hide-Away Hardtop. Despite being only the second car in the world to feature a retractable metal roof (the first being a 1930s Peugeot), it didn’t sell well, and this is one of only 12,915 built in 1959.
