The Ford Galaxie was built in the United States by Ford from 1959 to 1974, but it wasn't until 1962 that the Galaxie name was used for the top models in Ford's full-size lineup, there was an attempt to generate some interest in the car by associating it with the space race that captured America's attention in the 1950s and 1960s.
The new top-of-the-line Galaxie 500 models offered more luxurious interiors, more chrome trim on the exterior, and some additional luxury features beyond what was standard on the more ordinary Galaxie models.
This model was Ford's answer to Chevrolet's Super Sport option for the larger Impala, which had been introduced the year before and had seen a significant increase in sales in 1962.
