When the Galaxie nameplate first came into play in 1959, it was on top of Ford’s full-size model lineup. It was an appealing nickname to the 20th century’s space race at the time, and by 1962, all full-size Fords bore the Galaxie emblem, with 500 and 500/XL designating the higher series. Ford heavily connected the renowned Ford Thunderbird with the Galaxie for commercial purposes, to the point that both models used the same brochure for a year. Knocking on doors of models like Chevrolet Impala and Plymouth Belvedere, the Ford Galaxie became a strong challenger in the full-sized car market.

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.
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’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.

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.
