Ahhh... I remember we were stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB in 1964. I was around 5 years old at the time. I believe my dad was tdy or maybe he was in Vietnam at the time. Anyhow, mom goes out and buys a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. It had a 427. No just kidding, it had a 390 cid engine, 4bbl carb, automatic tranny.

We even took it to Okinawa in 1969 when we were stationed there. Uncle Sam paid the shipping. Brought it back to the US in 1971 and my dad traded it in on a 1971 Ford LTD with a 400 cid engine.

It was a beautiful car. I wish we had kept it.

Traded it in on 1972 Ford LTD wagon, 400/4bbl...

Almost same exact cars you all had, but wagons in our case...
