Classic Car Overview
Fusion Motor Company proudly presents this 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Sunliner with ONLY 30,199 miles! The 62 Galaxie 500 Sunliner was Fords top-of-the-line car available in the 60s, the name was derived from a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race. The car features a wide grille, sleek lines, and a long hood. The interior is spacious and well-appointed. Cruise-O-Matic transmission, power steering, power convertible top, tinted windshield, and dual outside mirrors. The car is powered by a 352/220 HP V-8 engine that delivers strong and smooth performance. The car starts right up, idles well, and is a joy to drive! A new full-width grille with quad headlights revised round tail lights, trim and bumpers gave the 1962 Galaxies a fresh, new look on a shorter, narrower, and lower body. The Sunliner was based on the Galaxie 500 that added backup lights, an electric clock, and bright metal trim, including the body-side moldings with color insert stripe. In place of the Galaxie 500 script emblems on the rear quarters, the convertibles had their own Sunliner script. The interior was also updated, including a revised instrument panel with white numerals over an engine-turned metal background. Sunliner convertibles received all-vinyl upholstery on the split-back bench seat found in the standard Galaxie 500 models. Great lease rates and Financing also available on any of our inventory!

New top-line Galaxie 500 (two-door sedan and hardtop, four-door sedan and hardtop, and Sunliner convertible) models offered plusher interiors, more chrome trim outside, and a few additional luxury items over and above what was standard on the plainer Galaxie models. Base Galaxie models were available in two- and four-door sedans as well as the plain Ranch Wagon. In an effort to stimulate midseason sales, Ford introduced a group of sporty cars along with a Lively Ones marketing campaign. These models featured the bucket seats and console that were popularized by the Chevrolet Corvair Monza, and included a Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe, and a Falcon Futura. This model was Fords response to Chevrolets Super Sport option for the big Impala, which was introduced the previous year and saw a significant rise in sales for 1962. A 406 cu in (7 L) engine was available in single four-barrel or triple-carbureted six-barrel form. Tailfins were gone, giving the 1962 models a more rounded, softer rear end look.
