In 1988 this galaxie was registered in Los Angeles.
Win is little bit odd.. Very high consecutive number 301XXX means that car is built in July 1964?
Somekind of special order car, built in Mahvah Factory. Very rare option in this car: Swing-Away steering setup ! Not so many convertibles known with Swing Away setup!
In 1992 This galaxie was shiped to northern Europe, Finland. Shape was then, barely drivable, little frame rust, whole trunk was gone, rear quaters were rusted through, & almost every chromed cast parts were badly pitted..
I bought this galxie in april 1993
Car is NOT frame off concourse restored, and perhaps not ever gonna be..
No time, no space and no money to do it. And it is not neccessary too
So, I have owned this galaxie for last 16 years.
