Photos: Galaxie 500

By Howard B. Owens

After finishing covering a minor RV fire on Clinton Street Road, I made a right turn down Warner Road and spotted this disabled Galaxie 500 sitting in a field.

Plus it's a ragtop!! Looks like a 1963, I believe the choices were 352 or 390 for engines, plus a smaller V-8 and a six-banger, but who wanted that when gas was 45 cents a gallon. If you like classic cars,as I do; There is a cruise night every Thursday evening in Akron in the summer, starts around 6. They close off main st. It draws cars from quite a ways plus the locals, I've seen some real gems there.
