RHD so CDN-made for UK?? Plate info says early 65 (which was a period issue, not retrospective series), but this 1993 auction entry says 1964 and just Galaxie, but are badges Galaxie 500??

@dsl...in your info above, it is listed as being manufactured in 1965 - Does that mean it was converted to RHD then?? It is definitely a 1964 model...

I'm happy to believe it's a 64 - the auction description has to be accurate for legal reasons, DVLA info is only advisory in status. I don't think 1965 would be listed as the date of a RHD conversion, but can believe it as the date of first UK registration. Maybe it gathered showroom dust for several months??

Ford had stopped using the Sunliner name by 64.
dsl wrote Cylinder capacity (cc) 639cc (:think: missing its last digit for a 6.3 litre/428 cubic inch??)

Actually that would be 6391 cc or a 390 cid. The 428 was not available until 1966 and is 7014 cc.

We seem to now have 3 blue RHDs in UK sightings - /vehicle.php?id=70530 (AYP 2B which is still listed as a live plate, once owned by Mick Jagger and stated as CDN build in flickr link), and /vehicle_746523-Ford-Galaxie-500-76A-1964.html with unclear plate (but might be xxx 199D).
