YBlock292 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Before starting off with my first build for 2019 I want to show You some photos of this 1961 Ford Galaxie (AMT-kit) that I built about ten years ago. I put on a set of chromed "smoothie" wheels with white wall tires. The interior was created close to my 1:1 62 Galaxie 500. My 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 4dr ht 1
Phildaupho Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Enjoyed seeing both your model of the 61 and your 1/1 62. My dad traded a beautiful 57 Olds Super 88 in on a new beige 62 Galaxie 500 four-door with a 292 cruise-a-matic and vinyl seat covers. He still had it when I got my drivers licence three years later. I have to admit I thought it was the most uncool Ford of the sixties especially when cruising to the hamburger drive-in. I always preferred the 61 styling and the 63 even more. That being said I have really been warming up to the rear styling of the 62 and yours looks fabulous.
cobraman Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Nice model. Love the 62. My first car was a 4 door 62 but not as nice as yours. Bought it off my dad for 50 bucks.
olschoolkid Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Nice. I like both the model and your 1:1 Galaxie.
mike 51 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Both are very nice (but the 61 would look much better with the front wheels further forward)
peekay Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 To me the 61 is the best-looking 60s Ford and I love your model of it. Your 62 is a stunner as well.
carrucha Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Nice work. The wheels and wide white wall tires look good on this build.
1930fordpickup Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Nice work on a very good looking Ford. I also like your 62. I think they are unrated in the styling department.
Koellefornia Kid Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Nice one, Ludwig! Love the mild custom touch with the smoothie Wheels!
TooOld Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Very nice '61 , love the color and the wheels you used !
Janne Herajärvi Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I like that classic look. Very nice wheel choice.. That 1:1 is also beauty
Brandon s Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 What kit did you use? I have a 61 galaxy I'm restoring ,just bought the model to see how it would look before altering my car...
