1963 Ford Galaxie 500
Gave this car the name Black Bart 20 years ago. On a cool summer evening you'll find me out every now and then, just pointing the front end down any ole road.

Cool.  Looks well kept.  Like to see some interior shots.

This was the only shot I had for now, in the spring when I unpack the shed and ready Black Bart for another year I'll get some better shots. He's tucked inbetween a 67 T-Bird and a 68 Galaxie XL right now.

Very nice machine! I can't think of a modern day North American car that has bench seats in the front. The bench seat was very handy when taking a girl to the outdoor movies.
And the whitewall tires.. back then, put the 'man' in manhood.
Thanks for posting, I was a mopar guy back then and my best friend was a Ford guy. We spent hours arguing about which was better.    8-)

Wow. At fifty, that's a beauty.

Can't say the same for me though. Born the same year, but certainly don't look near that good. A very nice car indeed.

My mom has a 63 1/2 with the sport roof........same color, worse condition, but fairly respectable.

My truck is a '66 Ford F-100 ;)

Another great US-made product from 1963... just like yours truly.  ;)

I used to see these often when I was a kid- love those taillights!!  :)

Wow man, She brings back memories of when I was around 4 or 5 when my pop would let me sit on his lap and steer that blue '63 Galaxie 500
up and down the lane. She's a real beauty ya got there! Nice work.

I am not a ford man,, let me finish! I am not a modern ford man. But I have a big spot in my heart for the 60's and 70's
Fords. Yes Sir.

Thank you for jarring some fond old memories.
