Gateway Classic Cars St. Louis showroom is proud to digitally present this 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500 XL, two-door hardtop fastback.

Ford derived the name for this full-size entry from the marketing tie-in with the excitement surrounding the Space Race. With it's streaking lines, starburst emblems, and tail lights reminiscent of rocket thrusters, the Galaxie is the epitome of design in the 1960's.

Mid-year, Ford created the industry's first 1/2 year model by introducing the "sports hardtop" also referred to as the "fastback."

This Galaxie comes in beautiful Rangoon Red with a black interior. The wire wheel covers add a nice touch of class. Powered by a recently rebuilt Ford small-block 289 cu. in. V8, sporting exhaust headers and dual exhaust, and mated to a console shifted automatic transmission. A great boulevard cruiser, you will enjoy the ease of driving in this classic equipped with power steering and power brakes.
