Vehicle Description
This 1961 Galaxie Sunliner is a true work of art and spent much of
its life in an automotive museum. Previously identified as
embodying a 'functional expression of classic beauty'; this car is
the entire package. Recently undergoing an extensive restoration;
the Monte Carlo Red exterior is paired perfectly with the red
leather interior. Power black convertible top; chrome wire wheels;
wide whitewall tires; stainless fender skirts; dual exhaust and
gorgeous continental kit round out the beauty of the exterior. The
352 cubic inch V8 is seamlessly paired to a Cruise-O-Matic
automatic transmission; dismissing the size of this vehicle when
pushing the gas. This Sunliner is undoubtedly one of the finest
presentations of a Galaxie available today. In the early 1960s;
automotive designers were looking away from the showy design of the
'50s and focusing on designs that were minimalist in style but
still striking in character. Focused on providing a car with that
was both functional and beautiful; the Ford Galaxie met the
challenge. The 1961 Galaxie almost totally lost the tail fins of
its predecessor; maintaining only small blade-like fins that served
as the cap of the significant round 'pie plate' tail lamps. The
interior was sleek and offered options that allowed buyers to step
into luxury. Performance was something Ford began to tout with the
'60s Galaxie; offering several engine options pushing significant
horsepower.
