1966 ford galaxie wagon

The Ford Galaxie is a full-sized car that was built in the United States by Ford for model years through The name was used for the top models in Ford's full-size range from until , in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race. In , a concept car was introduced called "la Galaxie" which incorporated the headlights into pods inline with the grille and a reduced front profile. The Galaxie prefix was dropped from the LTD in , and from the XL in ; [3] however, the basic series structuring levels were maintained. The "regular" Galaxie continued below the LTD as Ford's mid-level full-size model from until its demise at the end of the model year. The Galaxie was the competitor to the high-volume full sized Chevrolet Impala [5] and the Plymouth Belvedere. The Ford range was introduced in late with the Fairlane as the top trim level. Although a separate series from the Fairlane , [4] Galaxie models carried both Fairlane and Galaxie badging. In keeping with the era, the Galaxie was a chrome and stainless steel-bedecked vehicle with optional two-tone paint. It was the very image of the ostentatious lates American automobiles, though somewhat tamer than its Chevrolet and Plymouth competitors. Ford advertised "safety anchorage" for the front seats. Among the models was the Skyliner, moved up-market from the Fairlane and featuring a retractable hardtop that folded down into the trunk space. This feature was complicated and expensive, and left very little trunk room when folded down. Power retractable hardtops have since been used by luxury manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz , Lexus , and Cadillac , but in all these cases the vehicle was a two-seater, allowing a much smaller top mechanism than the Skyliner's.

The XL two-door hardtop became the best seller of any XL produced in any year. Except as expressly authorized by automobile-catalog.
