Ford's big Galaxie was luxury muscle before such a term even existed. This pretty 1964 Galaxie 500 convertible proves the point with a big 390 cubic inch V8, an awesome color combination, and luxury options like A/C and lots of power accessories. Sleek and smooth, it's easy to love this big Ford ragtop.
Wimbledon White is this car's original color and it's always the right choice on a '60s Ford, especially the big ones like this Galaxie. It's got a great shine that suggests that it has been repainted and the overall look is that of a car that's been loved its whole life. There are a few touch-ups here and there, but those super straight panels reflect well and there's no place for shoddy workmanship to hide. The quarters in particular are about a city block long, but you can see the crisp, clear body lines and arrow-straight trim that all lines up just right, indicative of a car that has never needed major surgery. Accessory fender skirts make it look long and low and fins had totally disappeared by '64 so it has a very clean, sleek profile. Details like the neatly folded grille and fender ornaments make the Galaxie 500 special and all the brightwork is in good condition and shines up ... Please ask for the full description.

Likewise, the blue interior is just the way this car was ordered. The two-tone vinyl upholstery is in fantastic shape, showing only very modest signs of use and correct patterns that are quite sophisticated for 1964. With bench seats fore and aft, there's room for the whole family and the wonderfully ornate door panels remind everyone on board that this was Ford's top-of-the-line model. The steering wheel has a matching blue leather wrap that makes the skinny rim feel a bit more substantial and the silver-faced gauges are not only attractive, but suddenly very much back in fashion. Under-dash air conditioning was a dealer-installed option in 1964 and offers a period-correct look, although it's not currently functioning. An AM/FM/iPod stereo system slots neatly into the dash and even uses a retro-looking face to help hide in plain sight and plush carpeted floor mats were added to keep everything tidy. It also offers seat belts for safety, a massive trunk with a full-sized spare, and a matching blue power convertible top that hides under a blue vinyl boot.
Ford's stout 390 cubic inch V8 was a favorite performance choice. Effortlessly smooth and torquey, not to mention durable, it moves the Galaxie without working very hard and has a nice V8 burble from the twin tailpipes out back. Wearing correct gold tinwork and reproduction badges, it has a factory look that's dominated by the big A/C compressor up top. There's a Holley 650 CFM carburetor under that factory air cleaner, so it starts easily and runs smoothly under any circumstances. Backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission and a 9-inch rear end with 3.00 gears inside, it's really at home on the highway where it can stretch its legs a bit. Power steering and brakes are probably mandatory on a car this size, and the heavy-duty frame is in good shape so it feels substantial going down the road. Factory wheel covers are wrapped by a set of 215/75/14 whitewall radials that have a lot of life left in them.
Handsome, fast, and fun to drive, this Galaxie is the kind of car that attracts big attention everywhere it goes. Call today!
