Model Year History Overview:

Fords were the car to beat on the nation’s race tracks in the ‘60’s. This car, the Ford Galaxie 500 XL Fastback, first introduced in mid-1963 as a “1963 1/2,” was one of the strongest contenders on the East Coast NASCAR tracks. Its aerodynamic roof line gave it the edge in racing completion along with its thundering 427 cid big-block engine.

The Galaxie 500 was Ford’s full-size car during the sixties. The mid-size model was the Fairlane followed by the sturdy Falcon as the compact and the smallest model.
