The wagon here, though, is a sleeper with IROC tune port induction and a 700R4 automatic, ready to surprise unsuspecting drivers.
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.
