Come on board! So you just made the decision to buy an antique Ford Galaxie. Or maybe you are considering it, but haven’t made the final decision yet. Possibly you own a Galaxie, that has been passed down to you by a relative or that you purchased in really nice condition that you would like to maintain and drive regularly for the fun of it. We hope you do realize that there are many factors to consider: Can I find parts? Where? How about service? Will someone be able to work on my car if I can’t? Who else owns these cars? What are they doing with them? How can I find out more about my car? How do I get in contact with people with the same interest in these cars as me? I just don’t want to start a major project blind and spend TWICE as much money on the restoration then I have to. Take for instance, chrome, upholstery, engine remanufactured, suspension parts orWE can tell you who to send those expensive hard to find parts to for the best, lifetime warranty job you can get. Where the chrome covers the complete cover and it isn’t missing in places you can see. The following is an actual experience that one of our club members went through: Put yourself in the shoes of this member. You purchase a cloth car cover from one of the vendors that advertises with the club, and you have a problem. The vendor tells you that a particular car cover he has for sale is going to fit your Galaxie. So you spend $125 dollars plus shipping on a nice car cover. When it is delivered you are excited, you quickly open it up and pull it out of the box to put it on since you don’t have room for your prized Galaxie in your garage. And you don’t want your car to get all messed up in the weather. As you take it out of the box and spread it out, you realize there has to be a hole in it for the antennae. Next you carefully mark the spot for the hole and make it. And guess what? THE COVER DOESN’T FIT! You start using four letter explicits and then get on the phone to the vendor to let them know of your dilemma. Surprisingly enough, (just kidding) they tell you, "well, you put a hole in it so it looks like that cover is yours". BUT little does that vendor know that YOU are a member of the Ford Galaxie Club of America, who they sell THOUSANDS of dollars worth of parts to HUNDREDS of members each year. In frustration you put in a call to the club to check into this benefit that you have read about. You put in a complaint and explain exactly what happened. We step in, call the vendor and tell them that they can’t tell you the cover will fit when it doesn’t and expect to have you keep the cover because of the hole. They realize their error, refund the $125 to you and you are happy. They just paid a little for advertising by fixing their error. Right? We can tell you story after story...here is another one: "About 4 to 5 years ago I ordered some material to redo an interior for a 1960 Starliner from S.M.S. Interiors. The material came and I wasn’t happy with it and sent it back for a refund. Unfortunately the refund never came and a couple of years ago I gave up on seeing my money. Now for "The Rest of the Story". Mark Reynolds, Director of the Ford Galaxie Club of America heard of my dilemma. Mark took the initiative to contact S.M. S. Interiors and tell them of my disappointing experience. He then contacted me and said S.M.S. would be contacting me. "Yeah Sure" I thought. Well miracles do happen, Doug from S.M.S. E-mailed me and asked for an explanation of what happened 4/5 years ago. I told him what happened and he agreed to refund my $225.00 in full to clear the air. I was thrilled and asked him to instead send me a letter giving me a $225.00 credit to use for future purchases instead of the cash. Recently the letter arrived issuing a $225.00 credit. S.M.S. didn’t have to do this but choose to do it based solely on my word. This would have never been possible without club Director Mark Reynolds input. IT PAYS TO BE A MEMBER OF THE Ford Galaxie Club of America. It paid so well that I have decided to become a Life Member. Thanks again to Mark and the F.G.C.o.A. And a special thank you to Doug at S.M.S. Interiors for being an honest and fair business person." Dennis S. Lempicki Unfortunately for everyone in the club, Dennis passed away a few years ago. He was a great member and many of us had some wonderful times and memories that we can share with one another of our times with Dennis. Yes, the Ford Galaxie Club of America becomes a big FAMILY for you and your Galaxie. We share our passion for these cars with one another. JOIN TODAY Our club has 6 active chapters located around the country. (Click HERE to see a list of our chapters.) As a member of a chapter you can get together with fellow Galaxie lovers many times a year. It is fun to go to shows as a group. Plus you can have picnics, do fund raisers for charities or just hang out at the local soda shop together. It is a blast for 10-20 Galaxies to all drive into a restaurant parking lot together. It is like putting on a mini-car show. We all know what it is like to drive an antique around and the comments and compliments we get doing so. That is one of the reasons we restore these cars for in the first place! The Ford Galaxie Club has owners, lovers and enthusiasts, from around the world that are members of our club. And when I say around the world, I mean around the world. Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Neatherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Turkey, Iceland (yes, ICELAND!), Brazil, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Finland, Denmark, France, Italy, United Arab Emerites, Malaysia, West Indies, and Japan at this time. You become a member of an ELITE club with great members from all over the WORLD! (HI KRISTOFFER! Kristoffer is from Sweden and owns a very nice 1970 Galaxie convertible that takes up the whole road where he drives it. He stopped by to say hi when he and his father were visiting here in the states one afternoon. ) Our club is now entering the 40th year since it was founded in 1983 by Bill Barber from, Bremerton, Washington. Bill passed away in September of 2003 and we will always miss him. When Bill left the leadership of the club behind he had established a base of 539 active members after 13 years. Since then the club has grown to a base of close to 12,000+ members. Granted, that currently we don’t have 12,000 ACTIVE members, but we sure would like to have that many!
