The Ford Galaxie was a full-sized marvel from 1959 to 1961, showcasing a blend of chrome and innovation with features like the impressive retractable hardtop and a power-packed 352 cu in V8 engine. By 1960, the Galaxie shed its flashy ornaments for a sleeker look, introducing the Starliner—a pillarless hardtop coupé with a grand rear window. While the Starliner was short-lived, the Galaxie continued to delight with its powerful 390 CDI V8 engine, proving that even heavyweight classics can move with gusto!
