In 1961 while working as a door to door milkman in Ohio, I passed the Ford dealership every afternoon. One day the showroom window was filled with the most beautiful red car I had ever seen, a 1961 Ford Galaxie Starliner. By the next afternoon it was mine!
I had to sell the car in early 1964 to enter the US Army, prior to the forces buildup of ‘65-’69 Vietnam. My vow, find another when my tour ended.
I did find not one Starliner, but two! The first, because of different job assignments and being located in and near New York City, took me until 2001, then another in ‘02. A long time to wait for the classic car of your dreams!
Both are “show ready”. Not concours but trophy winners on the local show tour here in South Carolina and the surrounding states. I rarely see another Starliner at a show car as they are not many of them. Submitted by Raymond L. Main Summerton, SC
