"Unusual good bodywork, décor, and in a good running condition. The engine bay needs to be cleaned, and the underbody is clean and dry, but it needs some rust protection."

Description

In the late 1950s, Ford wanted to honor America's space efforts by naming its top models Galaxie, and the name remained on large models well into the 1970s. For the past 25 years, this car has been a collector's car, and it has been rolling in dry climates in the southern United States until 2020.
With original paint and a beautifully preserved interior, the car is in excellent non renovated original condition. The vehicle arrived in Sweden in late autumn 2020, was serviced and registered, and is now ready to drive. The only reason for the sale was that a car collector needed to downsize his collection. Contact Anders, the companion, directly at 0703 438578 if you have any questions.

Facts about the model

Quoted from Autoevolution.com:

"Ford started to pay tribute to America’s space efforts in 1958, with the introduction of the Galaxie nameplate for its top models and continued to make them well into the 1970s.

Perhaps not as appealing today as the Blue Oval muscle cars of the era, ‘60s Galaxies still are in high demand in the collectors’ world, and there are plenty of them out there worth a closer look"
