'64 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan on C/L - Fort Myers, FL (?)

Seller says car is located on East coast, C/L listing is in Fort Myers.

I'm starting to have some doubts about all these cars that claim to have the original clear plastic seat covers. Really? For 51 years?

But a very cool car nonetheless. Cool price too.

Those do look like the Fingerhut covers my dad bought for his new '63 Nova, but 51 years? I dunno..........

 

A lot of my family members bought Fingerhut products including those bubble plastic seat covers.
I just looked it up. They are still in business but didn't see the clear seat covers. Only over priced types like auto parts stores have for less than half the cost. I'd bet grandpa paid a fortune for those seat covers back in the 50's- 60's.
I can't imagine plastic covers holding up that long. I remember they were slippery, hot in summer, and cold in winter.
Ft Meyers is pretty much in west Florida nearer the bottom where this wagon will remain for some time..
Sort of the west coast of the east coast.

 

Dad really wanted to protect that Nova - it was his very first new car. Unfortunately, it was also his first (and only) car that was stolen. Remember those 60's GM ignition lock cylinders where you could start the car without the key if you didn't turn it to 'lock' before taking the key out? Yeah, my dad never did that...........

 

I used to drive my older Chevys without a key too.

I do really like this wagon. Even the color is nice.

 

Does the motorcycle come with it?

 

$28k?!?!?!

 

For that price I certainly hope so.

 

I like the Mustang styled steel wheels. Usually seen on 65-66 Mustang GT's. Nice touch.

 

I always liked those wheels. But not $28,000 like. Even with the motorcycle it's priced too high.

 

Yes, wagon wears those wheels well.
