The late ‘50s were filled with excitement surrounding the Space Race, and automakers took their marketing brains to the next level. The Ford Galaxie was born as a concept called "la Galaxie" in 1958. Sure enough, its name was inspired by the hot topic of the time and it rivalled models such as the Dodge Polara, which also had the same idea to market around the same theme. This full-size car was first introduced with the Fairlane 500 as the top trim level. By 1962, all full-size Fords wore the Galaxie badge replacing the Fairlane entirely. Fast forward to 1964, the Ford Galaxie was in its second generation and the final year of its new body style. What we are offering here is a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Convertible, bringing you back to an era of 60’s open top motoring.
Ford stated in its sales literature that XL stood for "Xtra Lively" and it was available in two-door convertible versions. For 1964, the exterior featured a more sculpted look, which was designed to make the car aerodynamic for NASCAR. Ford's traditional pie-plate round taillights are defining features of the Ford Galaxie. The car has 500 XL badging throughout and an elegant black paint that is complemented by thick chrome trim around it adorns it. It rides on vintage-style whitewall tires that wear new Wire Spoke hubcaps and according to its owner, the convertible top is functioning flawlessly. Inside, the original black interior of this 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL features thin-shell bucket seats with chrome trim. The Galaxie mats will still keep your floors clean while the swing away steering wheel makes life easier while getting in and out of the car. Its owner also claims that all electronics are functioning and a recent servicing has also been done.
Under the hood of this 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL resides its original 390ci V8 engine that is mated to the original 3-speed automatic transmission. It produces around 195 HP. The thoughtful owner has fitted this powerhouse with a new distributor, 4-barrel carburetor, aluminum radiator, spark plugs, and wiring. In addition, the car has been upgraded with a new 4-barrel Edelbrock carburetor, new 4-wheel drum brakes, a rebuilt master cylinder, a new solenoid and battery, a newer distributor cap, wiring harness, and spark plugs, a new aluminum radiator, and newer dual turbo mufflers.

The Ford Galaxie is a full-size car that Ford built between 1958 and 1974. The name was inspired by America’s then obsession with conquering space, and the resultant space race. Cars gained galactic names and even more out-of-this-world styling cues. The Galaxie would also be made and sold in Australia and Brazil, where it gained a similarly popular reputation. That makes a car like this 1964 Ford Galaxie Convertible a great way to dip your toes into the classic car waters. That’s because this car has received a restoration, with several components rebuilt or replaced in 2021.

Back in the 60s, a host of machines graced the floors of motor shows and stunned the world with their designs and features. The 60s was also the golden year of muscle cars; legendary marques like the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro saw the light of day. The Ford Galaxie stood out among the multiple big nameplates; its intriguing design and performance made it a popular choice with multiple segments of the car buyer market, but there's no denying that the Ford Galaxie was best when in Muscle form. Present today is this 1969 Ford Galaxie 500; this muscular hunk from the 60s has a reported 82,000 miles as reported by the current owner. This is muscle car royalty and can be yours to grace your driveway and savor a quick weekend drive.
Jack Roush found his niche as an engine development engineer at the Ford Motor Company. A few years later, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish his own company called Roush Performance Engineering. With the experience he gained, he and his talented team developed state-of-the-art muscle cars that combine world-class handling with Detroit-born grunt. Not long after, his efforts sparked an overwhelming demand for his engines and components. What we have here is a 2017 Ford Mustang GT Roush Stage 3, a solid example of what Roush is capable of. According to them, you can experience raw power and meticulous handling and braking capabilities with this car. It is located in Franklin, Massachusetts with just 23,014 miles on its clock.
Ford’s F-Series full-size pickup truck has been a mainstay of American life ever since it was born in 1948. One of the Blue Oval’s longest-running nameplates, the range initially started with the F-100. From 1984, the F-150 came about as the half-ton variant in the range. Since 1977, the F-Series has been the best-selling pickup truck in the United States. What’s more, you can find ferocious performance variants that can genuinely startle the average muscle car or sports car. Take this 2023 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake as a prime example. With well over 700 raging horses packed in a supercharged 5.0L V8, waiting to be unleashed, this 13,000-mile monster could be yours!
Ford’s Thunderbird is responsible for creating the Personal Luxury Car segment in the United States, a segment that the famous, wealthy and powerful flocked to like moths to a flame in the fifties through eighties. Personal Luxury Cars were modeled on Europe’s Grand Tourers, aimed at providing smooth, swift and serene transportation across great distances while offering all the luxury niceties and creature comforts that were cutting-edge at the time. Introduced in 1955, the first-gen Thunderbird would run for a mere three model years before the second generation came about. With a mere 53,166 made, it’s not so easy to find a great example these days. However, we at Exotic Car Trader have developed somewhat of a knack for finding and offering great examples of iconic cars. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is no exception. We’re told that the car was fully restored around 15 years ago, which explains why it still looks in great order.
It is often said that life was better in the ʼ80s. Music, clothes, and of course, cars. This 1989 Mercedes 560SL is a car that could take you through time. Kept in pristine condition, this car is ready to stretch its legs having covered a reported 53,208 miles in its 36-year life. With the name having been around for 70 years, it's safe to assume that Mercedes knows what they’re doing.
The term icon is reserved for the best of the best. Looking back through history, there are a few automotive icons that have helped shape the current automotive landscape and continue to ensure smiles per gallon to their custodians. Present today is a true icon, and it takes shape with this lovely 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. This muscular classic from the ʼ70s guarantees thunderous performance and the best of the ʼ70s muscle car design to ensure you stand out from the crowd.
The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, also known as the Chevrolet Malibu, was marketed as “America’s most popular midsize car” in 1969. The silhouette of the second generation Chevelle was designed with a long-hood/short deck shape with a high rear-quarter kick-up, making it easily the most fabulous Chevelle out of all the other generations. The semi-fastback and flowing roofline design was mostly influenced by the legendary Camaro. This Super Sport model boasts the 396ci V8 engine that has recently received maintenance as reported by the current owner. Take one look and no doubt this Chevrolet Chevelle has been meticulously taken care of by its current owner, and is for sale in Bakersfield, California.
