1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Base Vehicle Description

Fender skirts and good chrome in the trunk. A good foundation for restoration, the Ford Galaxie is a car that was marketed by Ford in North America from the 1959 to 1974 model years. Deriving its nameplate from a marketing tie-in with the excitement surrounding the Space Race, the Galaxie was offered as a sedan within the full-size Ford range throughout its production run. In the full-size segment, the model line competed against the Chevrolet Impala^[2] and Dodge Polara (the latter, also receiving a nameplate inspired by the Space Race).
