Wide, sleek, distinctive, and plenty of V8 power...this 1968 Ford
Galaxie XL convertible is the kind of American classic that puts
the wind in your hair without draining your bank account.
Ford's Galaxie XL drop-top had a new and radical face for 1968. The
look was downright sporty with headlights hidden behind the full
width grille. The body design retained the kick-up at the rear,
which gives this long Ford a true sense of style. Overall, this was
arguably one of Ford's most attractive designs of the 1960s because
it perfectly blended elegance and performance. The same goes for
its shade of light blue. This hue nicely complements the wide
chrome bumpers and stylish 15-inch factory-style wheel covers. The
full presentation isn't perfect, but the value price is there to
leave room in your budget to give this one the personal touches you
want. And there's always appeal in a car that has good fundamentals
with stright panels, well-closing doors, and complete trim. Plus,
this is truly a rare Ford with only about 6k Galaxie 500 XL
convertibles produced this distinctive year.
The blue convertible top has a well-coordinated look against the
paint, and when you fold it back, the blue interior gives you the
same level of appeal. So this one has a sophisticated style with
the roof up or down. There is room for improvement in places like
the upholstery, but first it's good to start with the correct setup
that even includes the trim in the seatbacks. There's even the
right premium appeal with plenty of wood-like trim and newer blue
carpeting. This is a true cruiser with the dual-spoke steering
wheel giving you a good view of the extra wide speedometer. And
everything on the dash is in its rightful place, including the
AM/FM radio that's still cranking out the driving music.
With a convertible so blue inside and out, it's great to see proper
blue oval power under the hood, too. This Ford V8 has a very
authentic presentation that also shows the right signs of proper
maintenance. And the way this fires up and runs reaffirms its good
care. Ford's premium Galaxie 500 XL line was built for true
cruisers, and so this also comes with the right easy driving
features, like power steering, power brakes, and a three-speed
automatic transmission.
This Ford drop-top combines rarity, beauty, and potential in one
complete V8 classic. So you know you want this one in your
driveway. Call now!
