Our first Reader's Rides entry is my car. This is my 1966 Ford Galaxie 500, 2 door hardtop. I purchased this car in 2005 from its third owner.The car is pretty much all-original; paint chrome, trim, interior, hubcaps, etc. The only non-original part on the car is the radio (due to change shortly since I have found a factory-correct replacement).
The car spent the first 20 years or so of its life in Hollywood, Florida and was used as a winter car by its first and second owners. It features a 289 with a 3 speed auto tranny and the warm weather package that included factory-installed air conditioning (still functioning), a 5 blade fan, and a three core rad.
Having lived in Florida for most of its life and then spending the Canadian winters in a heated garage, this car is completely rust-free and in amazing condition.
We've had fun going to different outings with this car and have participated in the Atlantic Nationals with it, and have gone on several tours including a tour of Cape Breton in 2007.
