Vehicle Description
This extremely beautiful 1962 Ford Galaxie 500XL is for sale in our
Louisville KY showroom. In 62 Ford would introduce two new series
the Galaxie 500 and 500XL. Available in 11 different interiors and
13 different paint colors the possibilities were virtually endless.
Ford had also done some improvements on ride quality and noise
control making the 500's a fierce competitor for Chevy's Impala.
This 62 appears to be a completely original car with no signs of
even a repaint. The body is in excellent condition with no signs of
body work ever being performed the sheet metal is as straight as
they get. The Corinthian white paint is in good shape but for being
almost 60 years old it is unbelievable condition. The Raven Black
top gives the car a very sleek look and actually makes the top seem
lower than what it is. All of the chrome and bright work is in good
condition with some pitting starting but no rust. Open the door and
the bucket seats upfront are separated by a console that houses the
automatic shifter giving the 62 a much sportier feel. The red
interior is in great condition with no rips or stains. The material
itself is still in great condition with the red not showing any
signs of fading and still feels soft to the touch. Under the hood
the original 292 gets this Galaxie down the road nicely with a nice
little rumble but only if you get into the throttle. Matched up to
the classic cruise o matic transmission, shifts are nice and smooth
matching the cars characteristics to a T. Ofcourse the stance with
the aftermarket wheels really make this beauty stand out from the
crowd. If you have wanted a classic cruiser that is out this world
this one might be in your Galaxie. Options on this 1962 Ford
