The completely restyled 1961 Ford Galaxie was such a successful design that it was given a prestigious award presented by the international fashion authority, Centro per L'Alta Moda Italiana, for "functional expression of classic beauty".
Sporting an all-new look with a striking bulleted grille and rear panel design, the new Galaxie eschewed the flash of the Fifties in favor of minimal ornamentation and carefully executed details such as the distinctive “afterburner” tail lights, but that did not preclude dressing the car up for the ball, as in the case of this stunning Red-on-Red Sunliner convertible festooned with wide whitewalls on chromed wire wheels, dual outside mirrors, stainless steel fender skirts and sill moldings and a truly dazzling Continental kit. The interior is an impressive piece of work all its own, with a well-organized dash and instruments and clean, tasteful pleated seats and door panels.
Power steering and brakes and chrome-tipped duals complete this showboat Sunliner.
