History '64 Galaxie slide-away steering

That's a pretty car. Beautiful Waco Biplane behind it too.

 

I saw a video in youtube about 68 Shelby Mustang () is only Tilt away Steering Wheel, not the steering wheel column.
I need that for my 70 GT

 

Good point there, Potsmx, that is a different operating function than the "slide-away" feature. Cool to see though. I had forgotten about it for sure.

 

A car collecter East of me has several Fords and Mercs with that wheel, first ones I ever saw.

 

The Mustang works like the more common in OT vehicle tilt up, but just sideways.

Thank you, This was a vintage plane fly-in at a small local grass strip airport-restaurant. Gorgeous planes.

 

Thank you, I've put about 80k miles on this thing. The Galaxie set up is specific parts wise, dash, column, brake pedal,dash seal, etc. Just put it in park, push to the right, move's the wheel about a foot . Most people think it's broken when they see it.

 

And a Stinson Reliant! I've actually Built RC Planes of both of these. The Stinson Had an a .25 O.S. Wankel engine in it.

 

A while ago, my father acquired a light blue (original color) 1964 Ford Galaxy Convertible with a sliding wheel (or Fat Man's wheel) fully loaded with power windows, everything. The car runs well, but it could (maybe) use some new interior, needs a canopy for the convertible part, return to the original light blue color, and I don't need to list it all as you can tell from the pictures...lol. I think he wants to sell it because he asked me to do some research to find comparable Galaxies with these options. The problem is, I can't find any with these options. That's why I'm asking the experts...aka, all of you...lol. Take a look!

 

Well, i have 63 mercury swing away column and dash in my collection.
A vert galaxie with those options is a rare piece.
My vert 63 mercury has pw ps pb ac and special order 3.5 rear.someone ordered it for towing a trailer...i would make decent offer for your galaxie, if i just happen to bought one...

 

Your Dad's convertible is a rare piece.

 

My Dad's 61 T-Bird had it. One of my friends looked at it when it was parked and thought it was broken. He was not a car guy. I always liked that feature. I never saw it on anything but T-Birds. It would be nice to have on any of the Ford line of cars. I would take that over the floor shift any day.

 

..........I agree.
