Did Ford call it the Galaxie because this car is out of this world? I don’t know but I sure do like this car.
Look how pretty she is!
Let’s hope we all look so good at the age of sixty!
Out Of This World
Make the Journey Fun
You'll be as happy as you make up your mind to be
I know a fellow who owned a 1964 Galaxie for a long time. These may be great to look at, but the driving experience is very different and at times a little scary after you’re used to modern cars!

I actually have no interest in how most classics drive but view them as eye candy. Between expense and safety issues, I know they are just here for me to coo over as I casually walk by. 🙂
I agree with you that they’re great to look at, not drive.
Mid century car design was amazing. Today’s cars are metal boxes, mostly without character. It makes me a little sad.
They are rather homogeneous, but so comfortable!
They are comfortable and safer so that’s good! It just feels like there’s room for a little style too!
