Crazy. I've been getting rid of most of the old cars ..... sold the '46
Ford, the '64 Ford, the '55 F-100 and gave the '69 Charger away. I have
kept the '67 GTO and the Porsche (just in case I run into wiseguys with
Corvettes). Now, I am starting over again. Oh well.

Two cars I want rebuild before I die. I 1964 Galaxy XL (hardtop or
convert. I'm not choosy!), and also a 1965 (body style change) Galaxy
XL.

The '64 Galaxie 500 XL is arguably the nicest looking Galaxie of all time.
I still prefer the '63 however. *I had a nice, '62 "Sunliner" convertible a
few years back and a plain-Jane '65 Ford "Custom" with the 300 ci straight
six for a while. *Also had a '66 LTD ... maroon with black vinyl top.
Showing my age though. *The '66 wasn't a "collector". * It was our primary
transportation for a couple of years back in the early 70's.

Yes, I think the 64 is a thing of beauty. I had a 65 Galaxy, not an
XL, that the unibody "frame' rusted in half (western NY) and then a
white 65 Custom like yours. These were in my youth and VERY used! I
had a 69 Fairlane 500 hardtop (fastback) that I really liked. It had a
250 straight six in it, then I later got a 289 HiPo out of a wrecked
Mustang and put in it. Didn't the 62 Sunliner have the tailights that
looked like a frown? Or was that the 61?
