Club Victoria

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 

VEHICLE HISTORY:   This 52 year old survivor was purchased new in 1962 by the current owner’s father.  Since he lived in Florida he ordered it with the heater deleted and saved $75.10.  He did splurge on power steering, tinted windshield, and an AM radio for a total sticker price of $3,652!    When he passed away in 1978 his son inherited his Dad’s sporty cruiser.  It has resided in Ohio for the past 36 years and only driven 6,000 miles in that time.  He doesn’t have the time to drive it anymore.  So it is time for a new owner to enjoy “as is” or do a restoration on this very solid 1962 survivor. 

MARQUE HISTORY:  In 1962 Ford applied the Galaxie model name to all full size cars and completely restyled the model line.  The cars looked cleaner and the fins were gone.  The Galaxie 500XL series was new for 1962, and was the top of the line, sporty series of the Galaxie line.  There were only two models of the 500XL, the Club Victoria (hardtop) and the Sunliner (convertible).
