The photos in this edition are black and white.

Return your 1960-1964 full-size Ford car back to its former glory with detailed restoration procedures from author Colin Kleer.

With more than 2.3 million full-size Fords produced from 1960 to 1964, a restoration book for these cars has been desperately needed, and Full-Size Ford Restoration: 1960-1964 fills that void Colin, president of Pennsylvania's Three Rivers chapter of the Galaxie Club puts his decades of experience restoring these cars into this single volume. Featuring step-by-step procedures on body, driveline, chassis, and interior components, Colin shows, with more than 400 photos and text, how to restore a full-size Ford. Crucial projects, such as rust repair and driveline maintenance, help guarantee that your Ford will be sound and solid for years to come after the restoration.

Ford's full-size model change from 1959 to 1960 was seen as a big departure from the swerving lines of the 1950s. Slow to start on sales, Ford's full-size production grew year after year, peaking with 648,010 units produced in 1963. It was an all-time best for the Galaxie line and its sister nameplates. Eight appearance and performance offerings were applied to the full-size Ford line including the Fairlane, Galaxie, Ranch Wagon, Country Sedan, Country Squire, Courier, 300, and Custom, which made each car unique.

The Galaxie and its full-size stablemates continue to be a strong force at car shows and in the marketplace; they create an even deeper following for these cars. Adding a detailed restoration book to the full-size restorer's arsenal will surely aid in bringing more of these Fords back to life and back on the road.
