Funny you said that Lynn, one of my other friends has a 59 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie he restored from the ground up. Next time I see it I'll get a pic.

I sorta suspect that the one I saw has been kept up rather than restored.

Happy Easter Sunday,

The story of the fellow in post#158 & 162 continues,

He decided to restart his life in Europe and moved to the Netherlands where he has family.
We text regularly and he always has interesting car stuff to share.
He landed his dream job at a Porsche specialty shop where he is their master engine builder.

My friend took his Galaxie out for a drive today, so I got a couple pics when I saw it. He doesn't just "Drive it to church on Sunday's" (old saying) , but puts some miles on it. I think he's on the 3rd or 4th engine since he restored it some years back.

Yup, a mate to the one I saw with the exception of the paint.  That one looks like silver instead of white.  Nice ride!!

Yeah, my friend picked his own colors instead of the original stock colors when he painted it. Was kind of overcast yesterday, otherwise on a sunny day the paint (and all the chrome) really shine.
