    68 was definitely my favorite year for this body style, and kudos to the restorer for spending some time aligning the headlamp doors, that front end looks great!

    In my humble opinion, this is the most beautiful full-size body of the 1960s (or any decade). What a sleek profile ... and what a loving restoration!!! Thanks for sharing.

    This year model was one of the most beautiful orig. designs Ford HAD EVER produced. The restoration looks like an amazing accomplishment.

    As a teenager I bought a red 68 Galaxie fastback, black interior from the owner of a local funeral home owner. Fifty dollars . Repaired a rusted out frame and many small repairs gave me a fantastic car. What a beautiful ride.

    WOW, this had to be a family car to obtain this kind of a restoration. Never seen an XL getting this kind of love. Its nice!

    Really nice. One Ford Motor Company best designs of the 1960's. The level of detail on car's restoration is great. I love cars from the 1960's and 1970' s.

    Looks good at 1:48, but I would've put those huge mag-style factory 'Ford' wheelcovers, and the red line tires. Other than that, spot-on!

    • @deanwhite4190
      @deanwhite4190 2 года назад

      I really like the Magnum 500 wheels with whitewall tries. It's period correct. Those wheels covers are much too conservative for that car. The wheels make the car really pop!

    I like that they show a beautiful and restored Galaxy, and in the back there is Sebring with a regular muzzle😂

    Awesome restoration. I don’t know where you got the Galaxie script but there is no such model. XL and Galaxie were separate models from 1967 and on.

      1st car for me back in 76. Maroon with black carpet and white seats. It was a 68 Galaxie 500 XL. I wish I would have had the money to treat it properly back then. Sweet ride.

      Those cars were usually referred to as a Galaxie 500 XL. The XL was a sporty trim line for the 2 door Galaxie 500

    It is so rare to see galaxies. Earlier yes, but late 60s are hard to find. Which is odd vs. Impalas. Few people make parts for big Ford's so this must be a very hard resto.

    i can't imagine restoring this stunning XL without adding power windows...Ford had power window kits since 1956 for all its T birds and carried them over to all their cars...and using the black vinyl top was a bad choice tho i get that is about all they used in 1965-1969 the better choice would have been a more coordinating colour for the top to make a uniformed look with the body colour.

  • @petervossos4816

    This car has elements of 4 different cars, the fastback roof of the 65 mustang, the rear quarter window of the 69 mustang, the hidden headlight grill the 68 charger used but the mesh came from the thunderbird, and the body line that kinks over the back wheel like it does on the 70’s challenger!!!! Very underestimated this car is!!!!!! I reckon it would look Stink as with big tyres a 429 boss and lowered, mate sex on wheels!!!!!!! Love it!!!!

    I can't stop myself from starring at those hashtags on the fender and how you didn't even measure the driver side properly, the angle is completely off from the passenger side.... otherwise looks great.
