Up for sale in our Tampa showroom is this very clean 1962 Ford
Galaxie 500XL Convertible. In 1962, Ford introduced two new series:
the Galaxie 500 and Galaxie 500XL. Standard equipment started off
with the choice of 11 different vinyl and nylon plastic fabric
interiors, 13 Diamond Lustre Enamel exteriors, white vinyl
headlining, deluxe arm rests both front and rear, electric clock,
backup lights, metal drip roof rail, metal body side molding, and
more. The frame members received a new redesign to isolate the
passenger compartment and cut out noise, vibration and ride
harshness while the body rocker panels were zinc to armor against
rust and corrosion. Along with options such as the Power Tailgate
Window and MagicAire Heater, there was the Console Range Radio,
Lifeguard Jr. door locks and cargo cover. Inside, 93.5 cu. ft of
space provided ample storage over 10 feet long with tailgate open -
8 feet with tailgate closed. For greater economy and longer life,
Ford developed engines that have a Short Stroke, low friction
design with free-turning overhead intake and exhaust valves, super
filter air cleaner and a high capacity in line 30,000 mile fuel
filtering system. This 1962 Ford Galaxie 500XL came with a 352 V8
and 3-speed manual on the floor. The exterior is in good condition
with a factory color Red on the outside which goes wonderfully with
Black interior, the black top is brand new and fully operational.
