1960 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Red

I had videoed this car before, but the access to the car was restrictive...so now I had a better opportunity to video without constraints. I mention a 352 V8, but it is actually 332 c.i. with a 4 barrel carb. This car is truly unique in Ford's history..quite different with the horizontally directed fins in the back, unusual tailights for Ford...could wll be Bunkie Knudsen's influence from Chevy and Pontiac who now worked for Ford. Great exterior and colorful interior! One of the most striking cars Ford ever made, in my opinion!

@drewerz01 Hey, Mike! I know...1960 and 1961 Fords are pretty rare around here! Thanks! :) Jack

This is a stunning car, Jack! I can't remember the last time I saw one at all let alone a museum piece like this one :D

@cheddyrod Hey, Chester! I think this car is the greatest...thanks for the timeline on Bunkie...I knew he got over to Ford at some point! The "fins" are so unique...they're still there, but understated and in some ways, similar to those of the 59 Chevy, but not as radical! Thanks! :) Jack

I am glad you found this one again. I have always loved this and I particularly love this big, red beauty. For some reason the public didn't take very well to this departure from traditional Ford styling, but it sure is great that this owner did. By the way Bunkie didn't move over to Ford until 68. In 60 he was still at Pontiac making history with Pete and John. I do have to admit it does look a little GMish.

@mrcaymanislands1 It is truly one of the nicest cars Ford ever produced, in my opinion! Thanks! :) Jack
