1964 Galaxie factory specifications and equipment

These original Ford specifications describe the U.S. production Galaxie model range for 1964. They do not establish the engine, transmission or optional equipment fitted to the photographed car. Galaxie 500 and 500/XL entries describe distinct trim ranges. Prototype, competition, Canadian and export vehicles remain separate. Horsepower values are period advertised ratings, not modern net ratings.

Publication differences and research limits

Nominal and maximum compression: the AMA general sheet, PDF 2, explicitly separates nominal from maximum compression for the 289, 352 and 390. These are different definitions, not interchangeable figures. Compression is withheld from this verified set until three families support the same definition and application.

Engine and transmission combinations: the retail catalog and AMA cover different levels of detail. The entry above records only the corroborated 195-hp 289 and general automatic-transmission availability. Detailed ratios, transmission eligibility, larger-engine ratings and high-performance packages remain pending three-family checks. No competition or police specification is applied to an ordinary production car.

Production totals, VIN and paint codes, prices, exact changeover dates, additional dimensions and fitted-equipment identifications remain pending. Period service claims have source-specific conditions and should not be used as present-day servicing instructions.

About the Artwork

Artwork in this collection comes from the Ford Motor Company Archives, The Henry Ford Museum, the Carroll Shelby Archives, and the collections of acclaimed photographers and painters from around the world. Reproduction rights are reserved by the respective copyright owners.

Framed Print

Our framed prints feature a black, hand-stained solid wood frame with a white mat, museum-quality paper, archival inks, Acrylite glazing, and hanging hardware. The frame features a slim 0.8-inch face and projects 1.3 inches from the wall, creating a clean, contemporary shadow-box effect. Made in the USA or Europe, depending on your location.

Stretched Canvas

Our stretched canvas prints are produced on acid-free, pH-neutral, and fade-resistant canvas. Each canvas is hand-glued to solid wood stretcher bars and stretched over 1.25-inch-thick pine bars. Mounting brackets are included. Made in the USA or Europe, depending on your location.

Giclée Art Print

Our Giclée prints are produced using premium 200gsm semi-gloss paper and high-quality archival inks. Each print includes a white border around the perimeter.

For the 40 x 60 size, we use 250gsm museum-quality archival paper with an off-white, uncoated finish.

The listed size refers to the overall paper dimensions. The image is printed proportionally within the selected paper size. Made in the USA or Europe, depending on your location.

ChromaLuxe

ChromaLuxe prints use a state-of-the-art coating process that infuses the image directly onto sheets of alloy metal. The result is photography with an exceptional combination of vibrancy, clarity, and durability.

Each print arrives ready to hang. An alloy subframe on the back allows the artwork to float away from the wall for a sleek, modern appearance. This is the finest-quality print we offer. Made in the USA.

Shipping and Production

All images are digitally restored before printing. Production location varies by product and destination. Shipping is calculated at checkout.
