Yes, yes, I’ve had my obsession for quite some time, but I got into a conversation today about Galaxies and now I’m tweaking to get one. I found the most wonderful page of Galaxie history today, I just had to share!
The 1961 Starliner was the model my Gran had. White with a red interior. SWEET!
I’m actually sort of lusting after the 1963 model. I really dig the taillights. Judging by the drool inducing write up, I’m guessing the 1963 model year is generally considered the pinnacle of the Galaxie. That’s when they added the “500” to the name as well as the XL line. Yah, there’s a restored one for $15k… Better price that I’d have thought. But this, yes, THIS is a 1961 Sunliner… OMG. They’re only $25k or so!! I know, I’ll get a third mortgage on the house! Yah, that’s it!!
::a few deep breaths later::
Damn, I want one of these. And I shall HAVE IT.
Mark my words.
It may not be next year or the year after, but I will own a Galaxie convertible before I die. Oh, yes.
Nick needs to block me from eBay Autos… It always makes me get too excited and ready to take out loans… Hell, Craigslist, too! LOL
I love Galaxies and Falcons! We have to drive the Ghia soon…
you people and your Fords tsk tsk…where’s the love for the Impala, LeSabre, and SedanDeVille? :)
