Replying to: andre1969 (Jan 07, 2009 8:29 am) There was the Galaxie Starliner, a fastback, available in 60-61, then the fastback wasn't available again until the middle of MY 63. Replies to this message: andre1969 (Jan 07, 2009 9:01 am) wgrafer (Jan 07, 2009 4:27 pm) berri (Jan 07, 2009 5:32 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Jan 07, 2009 8:46 am) Thanks, Fintail. Guess I got the details mixed up. All I could really remember is that there was a mid-year in there, somewhere! Replies to this message: wgrafer (Jan 07, 2009 4:27 pm) berri (Jan 07, 2009 5:32 pm)

Replying to: andre1969 (Jan 07, 2009 9:01 am) As I recall, the mid-year Galaxie 500 fastback was marketed as a "63 1/2" to distinguish it from the regular squared-off '63 hardtop. And yes, I WAS there.... Replies to this message: berri (Jan 07, 2009 5:32 pm)

Replying to: andre1969 (Jan 07, 2009 8:29 am) I agree with 1952 Willys - I think they were called "Aero Eagle" and were indistinguishable from 1952-1954. Most had 4 cylinder engines, but after Kaiser bought Willys there were some in 1954 with 6's.

And yes, I WAS there.... I believe it was in conjunction with the 500XL and also had to do with improving the drag aerodynamics over the notchback in stock car racing. I always liked the full sized 63 Ford because it was a clean and simple design, yet looked modern at the time.

Replying to: andys120 (Jan 07, 2009 7:58 am) The only 52 Willys hardtop was the Aero-Eagle. The Lark, Wing, and Ace were sedans.

Replying to: tmart (Jan 08, 2009 9:32 am) 66 Mercury Comet. The hood scoops indicate that it's a '66 Comet Caliente. Replies to this message: lostwrench1 (Jan 08, 2009 7:23 pm) andys120 (Jan 09, 2009 10:24 am)

The car in front is a purpose-built flats racer, the ccar push-starting it is not. Replies to this message: andre1969 (Jan 08, 2009 11:55 am) andys120 (Jan 08, 2009 12:10 pm) stephen987 (Jan 08, 2009 12:32 pm) and 4 more... andre1969 (Jan 08, 2009 1:35 pm) and 1 more...
