  • Can you help me name this car?

    A local paper here runs photos asking for year, make, and model for a car pictured. The picture shown here is a pin of the pic in the paper - best I could do. Any help on this Ford?



    If I win once, I will post more and draw a helper to share later prizes.

    I think the pic came out too big. Will work on that.

    OK, I'm going to guess that it is a 1963 or a 1964 Ford Falcon, probably more likely a 1964, considering the more square front end as well as the side trim piece. Some other pics I found of Ford Falcons:

    1963


    1963

    1964


    1964


    Let me know if I'm right.

      Hey,

      I believe that is a 1962 Ford Galaxie.

      What do "we" win?

        Gosh darn it, Tim, I think you're right. The Falcon and the Galaxie look very similar to me. Of course, that's just me.

          LOL! Actually, I am quite certain that it is the 1962 Ford Galaxie. I am still waiting to see what "we" win for naming it!

            Perhaps another can of M16 since they were had for little to no money from the Ebay thread

              I'm with Tim on this one. The picture he posted is identical to the one from the newspaper. Even the wheel skirts are the same. Nice job, Tim.

              A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

                I agree with Tim. That was my first thought. I did not believe it was a Falcon. The Falcon from 64 is a dream car of mine. I will own one some day.

                  Tim is right on the money.It also appears this is a bottom of the line model. It may be a Galaxie 500 with the top of the line model that year being a Galaxie XL .

                      The flags on the side have the engine displacement size listed such as 352,390 , 406 or a rare 427.

                            Aren't we funny ! Nice ride. Did you de-badge the front fenders ? First I've seen witout unless it's a 352 ? ? My old man had a 63 1/2 fastback new in 63 with a 406 , one fast ride.
