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.

That's purdie (that's pretty with an accent).....  ;)

My mom had a mint green 65 Ford Galaxie 500 4 door. Never thought much of it; I was more interested in the 65 Vette. But at 15, all I could do is drool.... :(

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-)

My F150 has a bench 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.

I know, thats a truck though.  8-) according to what I've been reading 2013 is the last year bench seats will be available in any North American brands of pick up trucks.   :'(

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 ;)

That's a shame. I never liked bucket seats, they limit the amount of people that can sit. I can carry four in my bench as long as they don't mind getting bumped by the shift knob :'(

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!!  :)
