Ah Steve, you stole my car before I could post. Mine is close though. 66 7 Liter Hardtop, black with white interior, pencil stripe white walls and the factory "Mag" hub caps. Sharpest big bodied FoMoCo ever made in my oppinion.  Alex------------------

Well, I'm still in love with that '61 Galaxie Sunliner, 390 engine. When/if I find one, I won't be able to afford it anyway.  -jc

Not knowing much about the classic ford sedan's, I can't say I really have a favorite. My mom did own a Galaxie 500 at one time, but it must have had the smaller engine in it, whatever that may have been, because it didn't move out real well.Then I started thinking (always a dangerous thing, LOL) what about my Crown Vic! Yeah! My vote is cast for my wonderful 4.6L 1996 Ford Crown Victoria! And no, there will not be a recount!  Stewart ------------------

If you go fishing, bring a fishnet ;) you might catch a hummingbird 1990 Platinum GT (my poor baby's sheet metal has been violated!)
- Some mods, but not enough!
1996 Blue Crown Vic
- Suspension and exhaust mods, but nothing else...YET!

I was watching Speedvision last night and they had Jay Leno on a special. Guess what??? Jay spec-ed out a brand new 66 Seven Liter Galaxie for his dad. They ordered it and it came in 5 weeks. His dad had no idea of what he was getting and it was a very funny anecdote. Jay said that his dad even got a 110 MPH speeding ticket in the car. Cool huh?  Alex------------------

I heard him tell that tale before. It was very funny. Jay's dad had no idea what he ordered! ------------------
