Rickam, I had already welcomed you in your previous post about acquiring your Mach1.
Then....I saw that beautiful 63 XL vert parked next to your Mach 1 in this intro post. I am a huge fan of the 60's Galaxies from Ford's Total Performance days! I tried to expand the picture to see what color the engine fender emblem is but then became too fuzzy. Is that a 390, early 406 or a 427 car?
I became hooked on those cars when i saw my first XL in 1963. We lived in Memphis, school was out for the summer, and I was riding my bicycle near the Holiday Inn headquarters close to where we lived. I saw a black 63 Ford in the employees parking lot so I rode closer to get a better look. She turned out to be a 63 1/2 fastback XL with a 427, (Gold engine fender emblems) red bucket seat interior, and 15" wheels that had the spinner style wheel covers unique to the 427 cars.
I've been hooked on them ever since!
