I also remember tucking away the seatbelts because ‘they got in the way’: That was also a time when both parents smoked and didn’t always crack a window.

My dad had a metallic sand 1967 Ford LTD Galaxy 2 door coupe with a 390 engine that he bought used in Phoenix in 1973 and kept it into the 90's. I always loved how that car looked and drove. He rebuilt the engine in 1976 and it drove like a top with the only problems being a leak in the C4 tranny that meant you had to warm the car up before going forward and issues with rust and the vinyl roof leaking.

As much as I like vintage muscle cars like ‘57 Chevy’s, ‘67-69 Camero’s and Chevelle’s, I would be just as happy to own a 1966-1968 full-sized Ford Custom, Galaxie, or LTD that’s in good condition. A total family car, but so much elegance and character! 1969 is when things went downhill and the generic look came around.

I had a '67 XL. White with black vinyl top, red interior. Bucket seats and automatic, console shift. Dang fine looking car. 390 two barrel. Fast enough to get me in trouble. Had the car for 10 years and sold it when I found rust bubbling up where the vinyl top met the rear fender and got spooked.

My Dad traded just about every year back then. He had a 64, a 65, a 66, and a 1967. Galaxie 500 ..... His 1967 was a 0:16 0:16 turquoise blue with a white top. It had the 390 engine in it. That thing would fly. I have traveled 125 MPH with him in it. He was a mechanic and kept it running in tip-top shape all the time.
