Ford Galaxie 1962 Description

This 1962 Ford Galaxie represents a lot of convertible for your money. Full-sized cruisers don't get much cooler than this, ut if it were wearing a Chevy or Pontiac badge, he price would be double. We believe the indicated 84,476 miles are authentic, nd it includes a beautifully preserved original interior that's ready to cruise this summer.That turquoise finish is authentic, color Ford called Ming Green. Repainted a few years ago and still looking brilliant, t's an unusual and fun color on the big ragtop. Ford's styling, ike most of the industry, as restrained as the 1950s hangover wore off, et they still managed to create a car with an air of sophistication. Maybe it's that long spear that runs along the flanks, r perhaps the cool ribbed tail panel, ut this car looks far more upscale than its original price tag would indicate. Today, he bodywork is straight, ith those massive rear quarters looking uniform, nd gaps are great for a full-sized convertible that's approaching 50 years old. A lot of the chrome has been restored, ut there are quite a few original pieces there as well, iving it an authentic look and offering proof that this car has always been special to someone.Covered in protective seat covers for years, he interior is extremely well preserved. Say what you will about grandma's clear plastic sofa covers, ut you can't argue with the results. The seat cushions offer a unique look at 1962 automotive fashion, nd even things like the door panels and carpets are in great shape. Look at the back seat, hich looks almost completely unused, nd the dash pad hasn't been baked by the sun. No, omeone loved this car and took exceptional care of it from day one. The dash offers an array of gauges housed in an engine-turned instrument panel, nd the original AM radio still lives in the dash, ugmented by a newer AM/FM/cassette head unit underneath. A newer white convertible top has been installed, nd features an oversized clear plastic window. In the trunk, hich is great shape, y the way, ou'll find the original trunk mat, ull-sized spare, nd a matching top boot, long with a set of fender skirts that are included with the car.Ford's 390 cubic inch V8 was the powerplant of choice for this build, nd moves the big ragtop effortlessly with a great V8 growl from the dual tailpipes. The engine bay is highly original, nd thanks to the relatively low mileage, verything is still in great condition. The Ford Blue air cleaner, he original radiator tank, nd even a factory washer fluid bag are all still intact. It starts easily and drives well, ith the 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission feeding a 9-inch out back. Underneath, t's evident that the car has been enjoyed, ut there's no sign of rust-through or damage. Four relatively recent 7.50x14 whitewall tires have been fitted and wear the original hubcaps.A handsome, owerful, ull-sized convertible whose originality will knock people out. Call today!
