Ed Luddy Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Very rare for sure. I love the rear B pillars "flying buttress" style. Same as the Merc Marauder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deac Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 It maybe a great reliable car; but it doesn't exude fun to drive or any sort of fashion statement! It's just boring! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I think I must have one foot in the grave every time I see cars this age showing on a site like this. Gads I'm getting old! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were mine, I'd probably swap-in an LTD grille, fender extensions and bumper to get the hidden headlights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then remember that you have to change the headlight switch. 😉 (vacuum operated) Easier to just find a 1970 XL. Same body, hidden lights. For 1970 buckets and floor shift were optional on the XL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957Birdman Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 My first car was a 1969 Galaxie 500 Sportsroof. It had a better color combination, maroon with a black interior. Thank goodness it had air conditioning (those seats got really hot in the summer). It had a 351 Windsor which gave it plenty of power. The only negatives were the rim blow horn (which had a tendency to blow an at inappropriate times) and the rear windows would go off their tracks if rolled completely down. The 1970 version didn’t look as good from the front as mine, IMHO. It was a good car for a college student with plenty of trunk space.

I agree completely. Plain Jane Vanilla. Pukey color too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) I'd say the opposite about the hidden headlights. That Galaxie grille might not be anything special, but in my opinion it's a massive improvement over the LTD hidden headlight One. I have a Marauder with that flying buttress roof. A Monterey nose without the hidden headlights would also be a massive improvement over the hidden headlight Marquis nose it was built with. As far as I know, Mercury didn't build any of these short wheelbase coupes with exposed headlights like Ford did. Not my car(s) but the bottom one is pretty close.
