Introduced in the early 1960s, the Ford Galaxie quickly established itself as one of the great symbols of American motoring of its era. Designed to offer comfort, space and elegance to a discerning family clientele, it perfectly embodies the golden age of large American saloons. The 1963 model year marked a significant evolution of the design, featuring sleeker, more taut and decidedly modern lines, whilst retaining the generous proportions and characteristic styling of the full-size Fords of the period. Available in numerous configurations, the Galaxie 500 represented the brand’s accessible top-of-the-range model at the time, combining a refined appearance, high-quality fittings and robust mechanics.
The example offered for sale is in a particularly interesting configuration for enthusiasts of American cars in need of restoration. A Sunday runabout for a Parisian family, this Galaxie has been off the road since 2001.
With its bodywork typical of large American saloons of the 1960s, its generous interior space and its first-hand status, this Galaxie 500 offers an attractive opportunity for a collector wishing to undertake a restoration on a sound and consistent basis, whilst breathing new life into a true representative of the American automotive industry of the early 1960s.
