Vehicle Description
1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible - (Please note: If you happen to

Motors.) Ford's Galaxie made a slight switch in size, and style
when the Fourth Generation Galaxies hit dealer showrooms. The
fourth generation Galaxie, became a bit bigger and more formal
looking than past generations. The switch came at a time when
government regulations would start affecting design, and engine
output thanks to emissions equipment. This car left the Wayne
Michigan assembly plant just before emissions system components
were standard/required on the 302's. At some point, someone decided
that a blue on blue Galaxie was a little too much blue for one
vehicle. This car's original color of Medium Blue Metallic (code Q)
has been coated in an Ivory color, which provides a nice contrast
to the blue trim on the inside of the car. Trim and brightwork is
all in very good condition, and the chrome bumpers show very well.
Open the large doors and it is immediately evident that the blue
trimmed interior (code 6B) is inviting and comfortable. The
instrument binnacle has all the necessary buttons, switches, and
gauges right in front of, and angled at the driver. Maybe Ford
engineers were tired of passengers changing their radio stations -
if you look closely at our photos, you will see that the original
'Philco' radio is to left of the speedometer. Way out of any
passenger's reach! An aftermarket Alpine radio was added at some
point in this car's history. Blue vinyl covered bench seats take up
most of the space in the expansive interior, and being such an
important part of the interior, it's great to see that they're in
great shape. Under the hood is a 302ci V8 mated to a C4 automatic
transmission. The trusty Windsor 302 in this car isn't the most
powerful Ford V8 in the Galaxie but it runs great, and provides
plenty of power to move this big Ford down the road. Be sure to
