Ford Galaxie

The 1960-64 Galaxie was all-new in style, abandoning the ostentatious ornamentation of the 1950s for a futuristic, sleek look. There were still tailfins, but were now smaller — the focus of Ford's stylists abandoning, as did the rest of the industry, the aviation influences of the previous decade and instead capturing the new obsession — the Space Race. The Galaxie name was particularly appealing to this trend. The hot body style this year was the Starliner, featuring a huge, curving rear observation window on a pillarless, hardtop bodyshell.
