  • The Ford Galaxie is a full-sized car that was built in the United States 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. The Galaxie 500 prefix was dropped from the LTD in 1966, and from the XL in 1967; however the basic series structuring levels were maintained. The "regular" Galaxie 500 continued below the LTD as Ford's mid-level full-size model from 1965 until its demise at the end of the 1974 model year.
    The Galaxie was the competitor to the high-volume full sized Chevrolet Impala. and the Plymouth Belvedere.
    The Ford Country Squire station wagon, while wearing "Country Squire'' badging, was actually part of the Galaxie 500 line. Some Country Squires had "Galaxie 500" badging on the glove box indicating the series name. These station wagons featured the same trims as Galaxie 500s, and were a step up from the base-model Country Sedan.

    I purchased my 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 390 cu inch 4 speed from Triangle Ford in East Liberty, PA. Color was burgundy with black interior. Purchase price was $2,882. Sold the car in 1966. Only great memories to reflect back on at 79 years old now. Your restoration brings back great memories of my "64". Great video!

    This car is "drop dead gorgeous". Perfect in every way, it being - in my opinion - the best body design of any Ford EVER. It is bone stock, which makes it that much more appealing. The only thing I would change - and it's ultra minor and would take less than 1 minute to swap - would be to change the chrome aftermarket air breather back to the stock one (that came from the factory). It's so minor it's really not even worth mentioning, but that's just me. The car reminds me so much of our family car in '64. Ours was a 4 dr. hardtop, solid black as well, with the 390 4v coupled with a Cruise-o-Matic automatic tranny. It had a medium grey interior. There was only 1 other family in our small town that had a car that surpassed ours in beauty; a '64 4 dr. hardtop (black as well) Galaxie 500 XL with a cream white interior and the 390 4v. A 4 dr. with bucket seats was something to behold! I love this car, I really mean it. 🥰

      The chrome air breather cap was installed on all 427 cars after 4/1/1963 (regardless if the car came with the optional chrome dress-up kit or not), reference Ford part number C3AE-6766-A. Changing the cap to black would be altering the original factory appearance.

    My mind is made up. I’m 38 years old and I’m gonna buy a 64 Galaxie 😎👍. I’ve had old trucks before but never a classic car. That is going to change soon. Plus a 64 Galaxie isn’t something you see everyday. It’s not exciting to see a mustang, nova, Chevelle, Camaro, and so on. But when a 64 Ford goes down the road it’s something special !

      Thanks for the reply....I remember the the Fender 390 Badging, the Ford Emblem Hood Pull, and the Speaker in the Back Seat Rests, that all coincide with a '63, so maybe my old man just told me it was a '64 because I was born in "64? IDK...That's why I asked if a late '63 could be registered as a '64 but it seems like it would be the other way around with an early '64 being registered as a '63....

    Can anybody answer this question? My old man had a Maroon Galaxie 500 Fastback with the T-bird valve covered 390/4V. I remember it was a '64 because it was the same age as me, and the car made quite an impression. I also remember that the hood opened by lifting the Ford Emblem in the center of the Grille like I've seen on the 1963. I Know I'm Not Wrong - can anybody explain??

      Cool, my oldest brother had an '63 Impala SS 327 too. So many Cool cars back before the '73 gas crisis, me and my best friend were car crazy! There was an old junkyard we would sneak into that was loaded with Hudson's, Imperials, and a row of Packard's. I used to get High from the smell of dry rotted tires, oil, and rust - grown up's thought it was an eyesore, but it was a wonderland to me with all those Cormorants lining the side street....

      Only the 1963 Full-size Ford had the hood release using the Ford emblem (as opposed to the 1964 models), so your dad's car was certainly a '63. The "Thunderbird 390" was available in 1963, so it checks out.

      The shifter knob is incorrect,it is for a console shifter. The correct knob for a non console four speed was a more rounded truck type knob. Probably stripped out and was replaced years ago. I have had a 64 identical to yours but a 500 r code. I also have a1953 ford 300 q code 427 in Wimbledon white and fawn interior .
