Guys, yeah, that's a '64 ..... learned to drive in one of those w/ dual controls. Think that one, from the trim level, is not a Galaxie 500 but maybe a Custom or a Galaxie-sans-500, a midlevel trim level in any case. Probably delivered with a 3-in-the-tree or a Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed and a 289 or 390 (the 352 CID engine didn't appear until the 1965 model year, iirc). They had a 406 available, but wouldn't put it in a car like that one except on special order from a rum-runner.

The '63 had cylindrical taillight/fender flares, like the '61s but without the fins.

I had forgotten that “Custom” designation Ford used. The best examples of them are the patrol cars used on the Andy Griffith Show. IIRC, they had a ‘61, ‘62, ‘63, ‘64 and ‘65.
