Title: 63 Galaxie Chicago style late model converible
Post by: slim on October 05, 2017, 06:04:46 PM
Another typical Chicago racer from the early-mid 60's at Ohare Stadium, and other area tracks. Tops could come off or be put back on, depending on track promotors rules!

Mighty fine racer. Has that look of the era.  What wheels and tires did you use?

Great looking topless, Slim!  I'd recognize that Slim color scheme anywhere; very vintage looking and pleasant to the eye.   8) 8)

Nice build, The T-bird and the Galaxie will look good next to each other.

Love the convertibles and this one is awesome.  I remember when they were purty commonplace in our area as well.  Gorgeous Galaxie, Slim!!!😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🏁
