Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources.See also the Ford Galaxy large MPV of the 2000s.In the late 1960s, the low trim Fords would be the Ford Custom and Custom 500, while the high end would be the XL and LTD, but the Galaxie was normally the high volume counterpart to the Chevrolet Impala.Others were plain, family sedans.Ford Fairlane with a revised rear roofline that mimicked the concurrent Thunderbird.The Galaxie name was particularly appealing to this trend.Galaxie notchback hardtop was available.For 1961, the bodywork was redone again, although the underpinnings were the same as the 1960.Galaxie is widely regarded as a classic.XL models were also introduced.Tailfins were gone, giving the '62s a more rounded, softer rear end look.For 1963, Ford saw no reason to radically change a good thing, and the 1963 model was essentially unchanged save for some freshening and added trim.Inside, the '63 featured a totally new instrument panel, and gone was the separate column for the shift lever located above the steering column (Chevrolet had eliminated this design in 1954).Ford's quality control, spotty when the first Galaxie was introduced, was now as good as it ever was, and many '64 Fords passed the 100,000 mile mark intact.The '64s were durable, comfortable, and offered decent handling and roadability at a reasonable price, so it is no wonder they sold so well.Of the XL models, the '64 hardtop coupe takes the prize for the most produced.Galaxie to the racetracks in serious fashion in 1964, building a number of lightweight, fiberglass equipped cars just for that purpose.These competed with success not only in North America but also in the United Kingdom.W), this is possibly the most powerful engine ever fitted to a production car by an American manufacturer.NASCAR changed the rules, however, requiring thousands (rather than hundreds) of production examples in service to qualify for the next season, and Ford decided against producing the Cammer in that quantity.Fears of liability concerns and the bad publicity possibilities in giving the public a car that dangerously powerful are often cited as reasons, but it might simply have been that Ford doubted that an engine so unsuited to street use could sell in such numbers.Engine choices were the same as 1964.The 1966 LTD dropped the Galaxie name, a harbinger of changes to come.The official car used by the President of Chile on Parade is a black Ford Galaxie 1966 convertible.The 1966 bodystyle was introduced in Brazil as a 1967 model; it had the same external dimensions throughout its lifetime until Brazilian production ceased in 1983.In 1967, the 7 Litre model no longer carried the Galaxie name; it was to be the last year of it being separately identified.The XL model no longer carried the "Galaxie 500" designation.The 'long hood, short deck' style was followed too, as was the new trend for concealed headlights, though the latter appeared only on the XL and LTD.The 1969 model was built on a new bigger body.It was the end for the 427 and 428 engines.Replacing it was the new 429 ThunderJet taken from the Ford Thunderbird, part of a new Ford engine family.The XL had rear sail panels to simulate a fastback.The rear trim panel below the stop lights were used to distinguish the different trim levels from bare (Custom 500) to LTD.The Country Squire was perhaps the pinnacle of design for that wagon with the concealed headlights.Sales sank as Ford buyers went for either a smaller Torino or a more luxurious LTD.The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.Movies and Television
