And the first six flags theme parks opens "six flags over texas" at arlington, texas. The ford galaxie was a full-sized car that was built in the united states of america by ford for model years 1959 through to 1974. The name was used for the top models in ford's full-size range from 1958 until 1961, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the space race. For 1962, all full-size fords wore the galaxie badge, with "500" and "500/xl" denoting the higher series. The galaxie 500/ltd was introduced for 1965 followed by the galaxie 500 7-litre for 1966. For 1961, the bodywork was redone again, although the underpinnings were the same as for 1960. This time, the tailfins were almost gone; the small blade-like fins capped smaller versions of 1959's "pie-plate" round taillamps once again. The latter was rated at 401 hp. The 352 was downgraded in favor of the 390; it was equipped with a 2-barrel carburetor and single exhaust. The starliner was again offered this year, and ford promoted this model with luxury and power equipment, but it was dropped at the end of the year, as the re-introduced square-roof hardtop coupe, the galaxie club victoria, took the bulk of sales.
Backing the 5.4 is a 4R70W 4 speed automatic transmission which runs to a 8.8 Mustang rear end with 3.55 final drive ratio. This one of a kind Galaxie has the best of both worlds: classic 1960s Ford styling on the exterior, and a modern drive train and braking components underneath. The interior is finished just as nicely as the exterior with vinyl seating, a custom console, and a tall Lokar shifter Air Conditioning

This specific Galaxie has had a full restoration of the exterior and interior which makes it stand out among many classics of the 1960s

The tri-color interior was done very well on this car with a light blue, silver, and dark blue mixed throughout with many of designs that are correct for the era. The unique characteristics do not stop on the exterior though. The blue paint on this car accented by the chrome will really pop in the sunshine and is bound to turn heads as soon as it is pulled of the garage

This 1964 Galaxie convertible is in immaculate condition with perfectly fit body panels with amazingly straight lines, set off by its Pagoda Green paint that shines as if it were just taken from the paint shop set off by the automatic white convertible top and brilliant chrome trim.
Interior trim was altered, and the exterior featured a more sculpted look which was designed to make the car more aerodynamic for nascar. The formal-roof "boxtop" style was no longer available, all non-wagon models now featuring the "fastback" roof design that was the runaway best-seller in 1963. The base 300 was replaced by a line of custom and custom 500 models. The 289 continued as the base v8 and was standard in the xl series. Xl models got new thin-shell bucket seats with chrome trim. Federal regulations now required lap-style safety belts for both front outboard occupants. The ignition switch was moved from the left side of the steering column, to the right, but otherwise the attractive instrument panel remained unchanged from '63. The 1964 xl two-door hardtop became the best seller of any xl produced in any year. Gatewayclassiccars. Com. Bucket Seats
A complete frame-off restoration was just completed within the last year and has only had about 500 miles since it was completely put back together. 1959 was the only year this body style was available for the galaxie and arguably was one of the best styles ever produced.

The unique characteristics do not stop on the exterior though! The tri-color interior was done very well on this car with a light blue, silver, and dark blue mixed throughout with many of designs that are correct for the era. It is smooth consistent power from a recently rebuilt engine and crisp shifts throughout all gears.

The ford galaxie was a full size car built by ford from 1959 to 1974. The name was used from 59 to 61 with 62 being the first year with the "500" and "500/xl" denoting the higher series. This 62 is the latter of the bunch coming from the factory with a lot of high end options for 62. Probably one of the most desirable options for 62 was the center console bucket seat option which this 62 has. It is rare option for 1962, since it was only available as a midyear release to try and compete with gm's ss option on their flagship impala. The 62's are getting harder to find not to mention this one has only had 3 owners in its lifetime. The body is as straight and the red paint is nice it. The bright work is in good shape with the front and rear bumpers still having plenty of shine. S down so the original black boot cover does a great job and gives the car a more seamless look with the top down. The current owner has gone through the brake system and upgraded with power disc brakes. The 3 speed cruise-o-matic transmission is controlled with the console mounted shifter. S look, then look no further and become the 4th proud owner of this american piece of automotive history. Options on this include; power convertible top, power steering, power brakes, am/fm radio, seat belts, polished aluminum shod with radial tires.
