This is my girlfriends first old car. And she couldn't be happier about it. It is a 1962 Galaxie 500. The interior is immaculate, and the outside is pretty damn straight, a few scratches and dings, but nothing major and no rust. We had some issues driving it home from Dallas back to Fort Worth, but I don't believe it's anything major, I think just some junk in the gas tank, clogging the fuel filter. It does run and drive and stop well. Just needs a little TLC. <BR> <br> <BR>
WOW that is Beautiful, the Car is too No seriously though. The galaxie is gorgeous, and she really does look like a happy lady. You are a lucky man to have a lady love an old car. 95% of them out there want something brad new with a warranty, and$600 to $800 a month payment. Good luck with it, and keep us up to date. That sure is a nice find. Will
Wow this is wierd. im going to look at a 1962 Ford for my girl tomorrow morning. Same color too!! (attached a picture of it) Good luck to your lady with her car. What are the plans for it?
Congrats from a fellow '62 owner! They're great cars! Make sure it gets loud pipes though! They sound GREAT when you uncork 'em a little bit.
Nice find, on both accounts. When I was a kid my brother-in-law bought a new 62 Galaxie that color. As I recall it was called Chestnut Brown. It was one of the first 406 4-speed cars ordered.
