This Fullsize Ford is Considered a Design Masterpiece (http://www.mustangandfords.com/featuredvehicles/mdmp_0812_1961_galaxie_starliner)The Starliner was the top-of-the-line trim level on the big Ford Galaxie back in 1961, and since they arrived on the scene, these cars have become noted for their elegant hardtop featuring very narrow B-pillars. Frank Laidlaw of Saddle Brook, New Jersey, bought his car out of the classified ads in Asheville, North Carolina, in 1986; he is the fourth owner. Getting back to our history lesson, the '61 Galaxie was so well received when new that it was awarded for being a "functional expression of classic beauty" by the recognized international design authority Centro per L'Alta Moda Italiana. That elegant styling statement by such an authority quickly made the Starliner one of Ford's most sought-after models. Although production figures for the '61 Galaxie amounted to 349,665 units, not including station wagons, only 29,669 were Starliners like Frank's.
