Vehicle Description
History
For 1962, the Galaxie name was applied to all of Ford's full size
models, as the Fairlane name was moved to a new intermediate model
and Custom was temporarily retired. New top of the line Sunliner
convertible models offered plusher interiors, more chrome trim
outside, and a few additional luxury items over and above what was
standard on the plainer Galaxie models.
Why This Car Is Special
Back in 1962, if you had a blue Ford Galaxie Sunliner with a white
convertible top you were a sight to behold! These Sunliner
attracted attention back then and they still do today. The color
combo this one has and the blue interior to boot really set it off
and makes a great impression.
Mechanical
Under the hood sits the original X-Code 353 engine matching the
Vin#. The engine bay looks period correct with the belts, wires,
and hoses and even still has the correct FoMoCo coolant overflow
bag.
The air cleaner and valve covers are original to the car and
painted in the correct Ford Blue as is the engine. Add to that some
creature options such as air conditioning and oversize custom
radiator to keep the engine cool to.
The dual exhaust has cherry bomb type mufflers to make a deep
exhaust note as you cruise down the road with the Sunliner's
three-speed Crusie-O-Matic transmission powering the tires rolling
down the road on Cragar SS mag wheels.
Interior
The Vin # also tells that this Sunliner had a blue interior and
ours retains it in blue vinyl with blue and white door panels, a
beautiful blue dash with factory correct gauges in the
engine-turned dash, and the blue factory steering wheel and blue
carpet and cold air conditioning.
Exterior
All the chrome is good as is the grille and the trim. The white
convertible top looks as new and all the body lines look good. It
has great visual appeal with the paint color combo of
blue/blue/white and riding on the blackwall tires and Cragar mag
wheels.
