Ford Galaxie 500 Sunliner Convertible 390 V8 1962

General description : This 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Sunliner is a true classic cruiser. After all, it has terrific colors, plenty of chrome, and a big V8 under the hood. So when you can find an irresistible sense of style, you know it's an irresistible deal.
Ford had fun with the Galaxie's design in '62. There was a jet-age look everywhere from the turbine-style wheel covers to the afterburner taillights. Plus, the full-length trim that seamlessly wrapped around the front end was a standout only offered this year. Overall, the low, wide, and sleek look really captured the era and made it timelessly cool. It's this kind of distinction that has kept this a well-respected classic. In fact, the odometer is believed to reflect the car's full actual mileage (averaging only about 1,500 miles annually.) The sheetmetal looks quite nice, and the factory-correct Ming Green was even given a modern clearcoat respray. It's the kind of complete quality that keeps this sunshine-friendly convertible looking good on every sunny Sunday drive. And even on the days when you don't have the top down, the crisp white convertible roof coordinated with the accenting in the full-length trim for an attractive coordinated appearance.
With the flip of a switch, the white folding roof powers down to reveal a sea of turquoise. In fact, with the convertible boot in place, this is a very harmonized look of blue/green inside and out. So the total package has a terrific 1960s sense of style. This full interior is even believed to be highly original, and so they covered the front split bench in a protective vinyl to help preserve this high traffic area. As a full-sized Ford, you can share this custom classic with plenty of family and friends. They even neatly added an AM/FM digital tuner w/cassette for upgraded driving music to keep everyone happy. Of course, the best seat will always be the driver's one. The artful steering wheel with Ford family crest at the center sits in front of the classic gauges with sporty machine-turned panel. It makes for a true classic car driving experience.
Pop the hood and you'll see Ford's 352 V8. It has a true honest look everywhere from the FoMoCo washer fluid bag to the big blue air topper. We have plenty of receipts showing a history of proper maintenance. It really lets this Galaxie Sunliner run the boulevard effortlessly. Even the dual exhaust makes a powerful sound without losing this car's cruising attitude. Plus, the three-speed automatic transmission, modern touring tires, and power steering make the total package quite comfortable going down the road.
You not only get a long maintenance file on this one, but also the owner's manual and previous registration docs. It all makes for a true classic cruiser that's looking for a proper nostalgia lover. Call today!!!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
