My first model car (I was 9 at the time) was an AMT 1962 Galaxie Sunliner convertible. My Dad helped me assemble it and I became a model car addict ever since

I owned one of these when I was 16 years old in 1970. Bought it for 400 dollars. Had the 390 engine and it would move quick.

While in college, I owned a white 4 door 1962 Galaxie 500 with a copper interior. Huge tuna-boat with a 352 CI engine. Ran like a charm and only had to replace the battery and brakes. What fun it was, and stylish too.

Back in the day we owned a 1962 Ford Club Wagon. (Minivan built on Falcon Chassis with a 200 CI 6 cylinder engine) Family took a vacation and had to drive through the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. Maximum up hill speed 20 MPH. (No interstate highway). After vacation dad drove straight back to the local Ford dealership and traded the 1962 “SLED” for a 1962 Galaxie 500 XL with the 390 CI engine. White exterior with black bucket seat interior. Ah,the joy of real horsepower on the open road.

Same very much applies today. Run maximum change intervals in a Ford today, even if usage meets the interval, and the owner is fucked. 3k recommended. Stretch to the occasional 5k, but stick to 3k.

Great ads, loved them! However, I did notice that all were two door models, not one sedan or wagon. While I understand that the XL models were more than likely only two door, it seems like all of these were some of the first stabs at 60s youth advertising by Ford. One line stated "don't be square"...

Promoting 6000 mile oil changes, Ford must have sure been caught off guard the next year when Chrysler offered a 5 year 50,000 mile warranty. Ford wouldn't dare do that with 6000 mile oil changes.

Mine was a '63 Fairlane. Black with gray, 2 door, 13 inch wheels, 170 CID engine with a 200 head (no idea why, it was like that when I got it), 3-speed upstairs, AM radio. No A/C, no power brakes, 4-wheel drums, no power steering, nothing extra. I miss it every day. But back then, lol... it was just another 20+ year old saggy ass machine that, on the best day of its life, couldn't get out of its own way if it had to. I would just about bet that I had the slowest car out of all the other kids in school, but it was also the coolest. Everyone else got their parents' hand me down 10 year old mid 70s whatever it was that they had already replaced with a new one. I got to buy mine. Which was precisely why I didn't beat the hell out of it. For some reason, it had chronic generator problems... like every few months or so it needed a new generator and a voltage regulator. None of that mattered though, it was still a fun car and easy to drive, even without any of the power accessories.
