Beautiful car! I was 14 in 1964 when my dad bought a new Galaxie 500. I begged him to get the XL because the interior was so cool, but he was too practical for that. It was a 352 V8 with three speed standard on the column. I learned to drive in that car, and did most of my dating in it. I was already a detailing nut and kept it looking like new for years, including the engine compartment. This video makes me want to go looking for a 500XL of that model. I would probably want the 390 automatic with floor shifter simply because that was the one that caught my eye on the showroom floor at 14. The look of that car inside and out is burned into my memory.

Hell yeah! When I was a kid, our next door neighbours had one of these in black, think the interior was black with red accents. In summer when I'd be in bed, I'd hear it as they'd pull in their driveway, always sounded great. I got taken for many an ice cream cone in this car. Thanks for the memories. Awesome owner too! This was a great car

Very cool 1964, The Owner looks period correct too, just what you would expect to see driving in 1964 Chicago, Reminds me of something out of the 1980's TV series Crime Story. The sounds and the look, very cool. I didn't know about the T-Bird column in a Galaxie. Back in the late 1980s I had 2 chances to buy 64s both original Black cars and 390 cars. One toploader 4 speed Black and Black needing some work and One very nice Black over red with power windows in very clean condition. Like and idiot I passed on each, sadly I didn't have the space to keep them, wish I did. Greatful that there are people like this Guy who keep them going. It's always nice to see how they did things back then. Great work Lou ! Thanks for putting this together.

Hey Lou. Lovely looking 64 Galaxie. I used to know a neighbour who had a 4-door hardtop version.

[@loucostabile]

Hey Jason, Glad this one brings you back to nice memories in the old neighborhood :-) Lou

[@garywood9525]

My neighbour still has his 1964 Custom 500 4 door that he ordered in the Spring of 64. He ordered the automatic and the 352 Option while the car is a desert sand metalic with the matching colour inside. The paint is original while I can't see any dents or body rush hole and the bumbers only need re-chroming. The FORD plant is 25 miles away and he was told by the dealer it would be 4-6 weeks but 2 weeks later they called about his car that came in. The cars on the lot weren't the colour he likes and had too many options or were the Taxi-Special with the inline 6 . It has the dog dish hubs caps while the Mirror was a dealer installed after market item because a mirror was optional . He puts it away in the winter because my City went from sand to salt in the 1970's to deal with ice and snow .

I remember first seeing this car previewed at the 1964-65 worlds fair Ford pavilion , it was one of my favorites although i must admit i had liked the 63 Galaxie body styling a bit more . Very popular color for this particular model at the time.

[@loucostabile]

Glad this reminded you of that wonderful fair :-) Thank you for sharing alan, Lou

[@alan15768]

I love these cars , my father always drove Galaxie's throughout the 1960's.

[@loucostabile]

Reminds you of your Father too. Nice :-)

[@alan15768]

My father had a 1960 Ford Galaxie four door 500 in white then traded that in for a 63 in burgundy and then the last one he had purchased in 1967 which was also in burgundy all four doors. I did not like the 67 as much because in 1967 Ford had built what seemed to have been a larger car they did the same thing with the Thunderbird that year, my favorites of both models were from 1966 down.

My grandpa had a 64 xl big block. It was pristine...garage kept. In 1984 they had to drive it ( their little truck blew the motor and they were waiting for there new car from the dealer),and were hit by kids running from the cops, they were doing close to 100mph, ran a light and hit my grandparents in the passenger front fender. They were hurt bad, but recovered and survived I believe because of how massive the galaxy was. It only had about 30k on it, not a scratch anywhere before the wreck. I was 13, I begged and begged to let them let me keep the car and fix it. My grandfather couldn't bear seeing it as it was so alas he sold it. I still miss that car.

[@daleandrews367]

Lou, our family had a 4 door(keep in mind, we were a FAMILY) Galaxie 500 solid black hardtop with grey interior with a 390. For a 4 door , she had a great look. The factory paint on those cars were very high gloss - or luster - and with black paint it had to be correct. Not to be outdone, in my small community of Dequincy, LA another family(the Jasper Russell clan), had a solid black FOUR DOOR '64 XL hardtop with a crème WHITE interior, bucket seats(of course) and other XL interior frills including factory pleated leatherette seats, 390 option as well. They were identical except his was an XL and had white interior. We Ford fans all know these 390 equipped cars b/c of the Thunderbird (with the familiar cross checkered flags behind the 'bird) badges behind the front wheel well on the front quarter panels. I have to admit, my hat goes off to Jasper's car, what with the crème WHITE interior in a black car. They both were very nice looking cars. I remember my dad holding the accelerator to the floor(when passing a slow car) and "breaking traction"(a little 'squeak' of the rear tires) when the car changed to 2nd gear on the Cruise-O-Matic transmission! Being a car lover yourself, I just had to share that old memory with you.

Good video, nice car. I would like to no more about that coolant reservoir separate from the radiator. Is it a recovery reservoir like the plastic ones in modern cars, or does the coolant flow from the engine into it before going through the radiator. Is it there because the car has a cross flow radiator and that was how Ford did that type of radiator. I had never seen that before. My dads Galaxie had a down flow radiator in his Galaxie. Could that be the difference had to do with the engine size? My 76 Cougar, 351 cu in, had a cross flow radiator, but not a separate tank like that.

My first car when I was 18 in 1984. Same color, Dynasty Green. Originally had a Wimbledon White roof, but it had been repainted to match the body. As I recall, the NASCAR versions were capable of mid 160's on the straightaways. How come the glovebox trim is from the regular 500? Should have the 500/XL emblem. The family car we had when I was a kid was a '64 Country Sedan. My dad bought it in Detroit when it was a year old, a year before he moved the family out to the west coast. He bought it from a Ford employee, a manufacturing engineer who was being sent to Central America to start a plant down there.

I can imagine being in '64...receiving my draft notice...quitting my job...and selling the '64 Galaxie...so I could report for induction.

Now I know why Chicago is also known as Windy City...

[@loucostabile]

You're right about that one :-) It was windy, cold, and damp so I was happy to take video under the hood and in the car on the ride so I could stay warm.

I thought the carpet mat was a transformer symbol

That would be cool :-)

[@morgansword]

I grew up with those cars and that is the first one that I saw the steering column slide sideways, seriously... very first one. The 352 was faster than the 390 on take off but the later had legs so you could go past anything but a gas station. I didn't like the fordomatic transmission, I mean they were okay but the four speed or even three on the tree was better. I did see one with the three on the tree and overdrive but only one. The power steering one were a joy but non power steering ones sucked. That car smelled clean even on the screen/LOL
