'64 Ford Galaxie 500-XL

[Slotto]

I grew up in the 70's and the guy 2 doors down was a Ford man. I remember like it was yesterday seeing his '64 Galaxie 500 in red. I loved those tail lights.

Well when I saw this at Ollie's a couple weeks ago for 12 bones, I had to have it. I picked it up and noticed the box is a little bit smaller than the usual model kit. Eager, I started in. I popped the top and no motor! Boooooooo! If you've been following me, you know I like em low. Not to disappoint, I present her majesty...

I will go back to get another. This time I'll do it up like I remember as a child.

Thanks for looking

Very nice Galaxie there Steve. I built my AMT 63 Galaxie to the same specs as yours and have the 64 curbside in my stash. Yours looks great and I'll look forward to seeing your next one in red. Well done.

Cheers,

David. ??

Great looking body and interior color combination. Good looking chrome body trim. Another '64 Ford story. Lived in a small mountain community and knew a few guys that worked in construction. Two of them that worked together and were friends away from work as well decided they needed to order new '64 Fairlane 500 hardtops. They ordered identical Blue metallic with White interior cars with the 390 and 4 speed. Everybody in town knew who and where they were.
