History of the model

The Galaxie nameplate first appeared on Ford’s far-out looking dream car dubbed LaGalaxie. (Note the French spelling. Galaxie, in this case, means a collection of brilliant persons or ideas.) A shortened version of its name was probably its most significant contribution. The new Galaxie displaced the Fairlane 500 in the hierarchy about a month after the introduction of the 1959 Fords.

By 1962, the Galaxie became the Galaxie 500; the numerical addition to the name reportedly was to more closely associate the car with NASCAR’s 500-mile races; Ford spent big money to support racing teams during the decade. At the midpoint of the year, the Galaxie 500/XL was added to the line. The sportier model was distinguished with a V8, bucket seats and console as standard equipment. Sporty cars and winning races both proved to be good sales tools.

For ’66, Ford wanted to compete with their monstrous SOHC (single overhead cammer) 427 that produced well over 600 horsepower. NASCAR refused to allow it, however, and Ford withdrew from competition in protest at the midpoint of the season. Around this time, independent teams started competing with the lighter Fairlanes and did well, so Ford officials ended their protest and returned with Fairlanes for their racing teams. The intermediates carried the performance banner for Ford into the early ’70s, at which time Ford terminated their support for racing programmes.
