    Nice job Marty! I had a 66 Ford Galaxie 500 two years out of high school back in 1975. I bought the car from a high school kid who made some modifications. He added mag tires used back then, dual thrust hush exhaust and did the car in blue metal flake paint. Oh and jacked up just a little in the back . That car was the bomb! We went everywhere in it. Those were the days.
    Nice job Marty!

    Good idea matching the colour before stripping the model. In fact all your ideas for the restorations, replacing parts like the axles etc are brilliant. You always do a fantastic job of restoring these vintage models. ..

    I bought one at the local drug store that carried Matchbox cars. I still have it. And 60 or so others. Like a lot of people, I wish I would have kept the boxes. I do have a few. But when you're 9 years old, who cared about the box ? I also have several engines and other emergency vehicles. I went on to a 20 year career with the Fire Dept. and retired as Captain. Peace to all of you and yours out there from America, and THANK YOU MARTY for the great videos. :)

      when i was a kid (40 years ago) I was dropping off some garbage with mum at the local tip and someone had thrown out about 300 empty matchboxes. I should have grabbed them. i DID go through them and found one that was not empty (forklift).

    I had the 2 door version of this for real. Loved cruising around in that car. Thanks for bringing back the memories. The "bump" on the driver's side of the grill is the factory emblem you'd see on the real Galaxie 500 XL cars. That's a really nicely detailed die-cast car.

    Hey Marty - Great job as always! That little lump on the grill is actually a nice detail that matches the original car's grill: It's a small Galaxy logo that has what looks like a crown on top.

    Marty....needless to say, this is on point as usual. One of my fav castings too. It is the first *custom* I ever made back in 1976. I used a pen knife to scratch the britework areas of paint.
    My first car as luck would have it was a 1965 Galaxie 500. I paid $700 for it. I called her The Beast. 352 Windsor V8 with a Rochester 4 BBL carb.
    That bump on the front grill was simply badging Lesney saw fit to include on the grill. Just a logo for the car.

    Oh the nostalgia! Me mum had a 1968 Galaxie 500. I was the first car I remember riding in. It had more of a fastback than the '66 but was very similar. This grabs me by the feels.

    Hi Marty, great video as always. The “irregularity” on the front grill was a badge which had “500” cast in it and if my aging memory is correct it was painted red, white, and blue within the badge. My neighbors had this model car when I was a kid. Have a great holiday.
