By the late 1950s. America was well in the grip of rocket-age
fantasies and the newspapers were full of the latest moves in the
space race as Uncle Sam battled with the Soviet Union for supremacy
in interplanetary exploration.

No surprise then that when Ford launched its new
top-of-the-range model in 1959. it was called the Galaxie. Of truly
vast proportions. it abandoned the ostentatious fins and flourishes
of the early 1950s for a more sober. sleek and scientific look.
Available as either a sedan or a convertible in two-door and
four-door form. it came with a range of engines from a 3. 7-litre
straight-six to a humongous 7-litre V8.

For 1962. the Galaxie name was applied to all of Ford's full
size models. as the Fairlane name was moved to a new intermediate
model and Custom was temporarily retired. New top-line Galaxie 500
(two-door sedan and hardtop. four-door sedan and hardtop. and
'Sunliner' convertible) models offered plusher interiors. more
chrome trim outside and a few additional luxury items over and
above what was standard on the plainer Galaxie models

This rare factory built righthand drive example rolled off the
production line in 1962. was imported from Canada in 1968 and
boasts one former owner. Finished in white with a contrasting
turquoise interior. this beautiful car has a 5. 8 litre (353ci) V8
mated to a column mounted three speed automatic gearbox. With a 12
month MoT test certificate in the file along with 30 years worth of
old certificates. this is an extremely rare and sought after piece
of Americana. With an electric hood in good working order and power
steering taking the stress out of driving. this is the perfect
summer cruiser.
