Help identifying this Galaxie

This is an old family car I am trying to identify. I'm pretty sure it's a 1959 Galaxie:



However, I'd like to know the specific type if anyone can tell me. For instance is it a Galaxie 500?

For reference here's a video on YouTube:

Most pictures of 1959 Galaxies I can find online look like this:
chriswmos's 1959 Ford Galaxie - Carrollton, Texas

Any help appreciated! Thank you!

This is from a 1959 sales brochure.

No, I have them saved in my backup drive. Are you needing the whole brochure? I can upload it if you wish.

Re: Help identifying this Galaxie

You rock! I searched all day online trying to figure out what year and model my dad's car was and you were the first person to have the correct information. I love the Internet, because it leads to great information and great folks, such as you, to provide that information! Thanks again!

Re: Help identifying this Galaxie

The Galaxie for 1959 was the top line model and had a roofline similiar to the 58-60 Thunderbirds. Some had the Galaxie script on the car along with the name Fairlane. The 59 tudor posts and four door sedan Fairlanes were not classified as Galaxies.
