Absolutely gorgeous car when America was at it's zenith with the cars, music and culture!!!🤗👍

[@fransmith8992]

ah. this was one of my friend's first car. he immediately put a 4 track tape deck in it. it was when 4 tracks first came out. most people probably never even heard of a 4 track tape player. but they came out before the 8 track player that many are familiar with.. the tape cartridge looked the same. but it had a hole in the bottom, about the size of a 1/2 dollar that the head went up into when you inserted the tape. these were beautiful cars that rode like you were on a cloud. thanks for sharing.

That 1960 Ford Sunliner convertible with 352 CI engine is a sight to behold! That car has all the options available for that year. Now I know why these cars are so rare, since they were illegal in 4 states for being too wide! The engine sounds healthy and quiet too. The black paint job with red interior look great together. that Galaxie Sunliner is a true gem. A spectacular specimen indeed Lou!

[@apexerman1]

It's clear Ford designers were exploring new directions with the Sunliner. The sweeping profile and wide stance really made a departure from the bulbous 50's style. I think I'd read this look wasn't as popular because it was too different than what most people expected. Fortunately, that styling approach persevered on the '61-'63 T-birds. This example is clearly a gem. 🙂

¡Hermoso día soleado para disfrutar de este Ford Sunliner 1960! El color negro le asienta genial y hace que su carrocería y líneas cromadas (como esas espectaculares aletas traseras horizontales, o los llamativos logos Sunliner dorados) se vean fantásticos! Un interior, simplemente, soberbio; con unos bellos y confortables asientos en rojo, blanco y negro y el llamativo panel de instrumentos en cromado con base en rojo. Muy interesante, lo que mencionó su propietario, sobre que este vehículo no fuera anteriormente manipulado, conservando así todas sus partes originales (como su dispensador de pañuelos genuino aún cargado!) Los manuales y catálogos del baúl estaban asombrosos (mención especial, para el que podías sobreponer la figura transparente del vehículo sobre un fondo de color para así dar una idea de su posible apariencia). Para terminar, el paseo final estuvo espectacular, y demostró la suavidad con que se desliza este clásico Ford por las carreteras. Por cierto, no sé si es mi apreciación, pero noté que había más nitidez y fluidez en el video... Tal vez sea tu nueva cámara, Lou, jeje. ¡Saludos cordiales!

The Ford Sunliner has a unique role in rock and roll history. Back in the 60's there was a rock and roll group that called itself The Sunliners, after the Ford Sunliner convertible, the one band member owned. The car was used to transport them to their gigs. You might not recognize "The Sunliner" name, but you might know them by their later name "Rare Earth".

1960 Ford Starliner/Sunliner. The 1960-1961 Ford Starliner/Sunliner was a high-performance fastback variant of the 1960-1961 Ford Galaxie 500 with an upgraded interior, gold-colored "Starline" badges, and a new metal trim, and a new grille. The four most powerful engines in the Starliner were the 352 Cubic Inch FE V8, 390 Cubic Inch FE V8, 406 Cubic Inch FE V8, and 427 Cubic Inch FE V8. The 406 Cubic Inch FE V8 made around 401 Horsepower and 425 Pound Feet of Torque while the 427 Cubic Inch Ford FE V8 made around 425 Horsepower and 450 Pound Feet of Torque. Around 69,000 were built in 1960 and 28,000 were built in 1961.

I always loved the exterior styling, on the full-size 1960 Fords! I remember seeing them frequently, when I was a kid in the mid-sixties, living in Southern Oregon. Unlike full-size offerings from GM and Mopar in 1960..the Fords bore NO exterior resemblance, to '59 or '61 full-size Fords.They were truly unique looking..ONLY for that model year! I could never understand why Ford totally resigned the exterior AGAIN, for '61. Maybe the '60 Ford styling, was not well-received by the car-buying public, even though I REALLY liked it??

My 1960 story … last year grandad bought for himself. A 2 door hardtop. 4 cylinder 3 speed manual. No power steering or breaks. He didn’t believe in 8 cylinder engines.. automatics, power .. nothing. Lol cranky conservative old guy, a lot like Archie Bunker. He DID know how to work on them and could fix anything. I may be mistaken it could have been a six, but he wouldn’t buy an 8. In 63 he bought grandmother a Falcon. Same set up. I was was a little kid but I remember well her fighting the steering wheel, and shifting! Makes me mad now, she was 5 feet tall and weighed 90 pounds! She was 60? I dunno. 😢 he did get her an under dash ac in 65 I think. He had money he could have bought her a Comet with power steering and automatic but I can hear his voice now, “just more shit to fix to break later”. This car!!! ❤

If you’re a fan of “The Andy Griffith Show,” you’ll see episodes featuring a 1960 Ford as his patrol car.

I don't believe the light blue on the air cleaner and valve covers is correct. These engines were either gold or red. My Dad had a 1960 Galaxie 4 door hardtop with the same color combo. Beautiful car in a one year only body style!

@@loucostabile Light blue is correct for the 352 2 barrel, yellow for the 352 4 barrel, gold for the HIPO. The 292 and 6 cylinders are painted red. I'm restoring a 60 with a 352 2 barrel. I've been unable to locate the correct light blue. Tony's 60 Sunliner has got to be the best one in the USA!
