Tough love; yep, another love story. You know how it goes; boy meets girl, boy gets girl pregnant and so on. We’ll not this one! This one is between man and machine. Man being a car enthusiast and the machine is a 32 three window coupe. This romance started back over in the west. The purchase of a fabricated chassis and fibreglass body with widened rear guards from Rods Bods combined with a garage full of parts and dreams and he was in his element. Unfortunately, love never runs true and the marital mat was yanked out from under the rod’s first builder seeing the unfinished vehicle ending up in the classifieds.
Along comes our next enthusiast and second owner of this love scorned rod as a new romance blossoms seeing further dreams brought to fruition through late nights and a consistent cash flow. Once again the hard luck of life steps in. Torn between his thirst for his dream and the realities of life, our luckless rod owner has no other option but to part with his mechanical love.

Beyond the big blue Galaxie!
When we talk of Yank tanks of the 60s, the Ford Galaxies must come up amongst the top for sheer size and statue, what with their stack headlights as well as stacked parkers, big square tail lights not to mention just the size of the panels themselves! It was the era of opulence and nobody did it better than the Americans. With the big bodies came big motors, big interiors and big brightwork. The suspensions were soft and the steering was light.
