but who doesn't @ 64 years old. Galaxie 500 with top of the line
Fairlane Trim Option. The body is actually in very good shape for
original sheet metal. Doors, hood and trunk deck lid open and close
nicely. A favorite body feature is the big chrome ribbed accent
piece at the base of the back roof pillar. Triple thick wheel well
moldings that flow towards the back on the side of the car are
unique to Fairlanes, Galaxies and T birds. Of course the oversized
horizontal fins, extra large rocket point tail light lenses make
this car stand out from the other big 2. Beautiful headlight insert
trim with even more chrome plus the elongated "starred" grill and
recessed front and rear bumpers only add to her elegant shape and
form. Very sharp interior features diamond pleat inserts on the
seats and door panels in 2 tone Black and Tan. Front bench seat
with rear bucket style seats gives the car a diplomatic feel.
Correct steel wheels and hubcaps. Thin white line wall tires and
original style spare. This car runs, drives and steers amazingly
well. A true pleasure to drive with tons of looks and thumbs up!
