Finished in a striking blue exterior with a classic blue and white interior, this big Ford captures the spirit of 1960s American cruising perfectly. The colour combo pops in the sunlight and highlights the Galaxies long, sleek bodylines that made these full-size Fords such icons of the era.

Under the hood sits the legendary 390 cubic inch big block V8, delivering effortless power and that unmistakable deep American V8 rumble. Paired with a smooth automatic transmission, this car is exactly what Beach Hop cruising is all about relaxed, comfortable, and full of character.
