The Galaxie 500 Town Sedan is a road car from Ford, with rear wheel drive, a front positioned engine and a 4 door saloon (sedan) body style.
Power is produced by an overhead valve, 3.6 litre naturally aspirated 6 cylinder motor, with 2 valves per cylinder that provides power and torque figures of 138 bhp (140 PS/103 kW) at 4200 rpm and 275 N·m (203 lb·ft/28 kgm) at 2200 rpm respectively.
