1964 Galaxie 500
Car History
The early 60's saw the rise of drag-strips and circle track racing and American auto manufacturers were finding out that the more cubic inches and pure horsepower they could put is muscle cars, the more they would win on the racetrack and the street, hence the more of these cars they could sell.
Fords answer to the formidable competition from all the other auto makers was the big block 390 and 427 Galaxies. The1964 was the fourth and final year of this body style. Interior trim was altered, and the exterior featured a more sculpted look which was designed to make the car more aerodynamic for NASCAR. Often overlooked, the 390 “Police Special” engine gives this 1964 Galaxie 500XL staying power. Full size Fords were completely redone in 1964. They were recognizable because of their large, round taillights. All models using optional FE Series V-8s had the engine designation logo on the lower front fender.
