The
Ford Galaxie
was a full-size car built in the
United States
by the Ford Motor Company for model years 1959 through 1974. The name was used for the top models in Ford’s full-size range from 1959 until
1961. In
1962, the Galaxie name was assigned to the lowest-priced full-size Ford. The Galaxie 500, and Galaxie 500/XL names were introduced in 1962. Year 1965 saw the introduction of the Galaxie 500/LTD, followed by Galaxie 500 7-Litre in 1966. The Galaxie 500 part was dropped from the LTD name in 1966, and from the XL name in 1967 however the basic series structuring levels were maintained. The "regular" Galaxie 500 continued below the LTD as Ford’s mid-level full-size model from 1965 until its demise at the end of the 1974 model year. The Galaxie was the high volume counterpart to the Chevrolet Impala. Some Galaxies were high-performance, racing specification machines, a larger forebear to the muscle car era. Others were plain family sedans. A version of the car was also produced in
Brazil
under the names Galaxie 500, LTD and Landau from 1967 to 1983. The similarly named Ford Galaxy is a large car/minivan available in the European market. The vehicles name is taken from the original Ford Galaxie.
