It seems that whenever Ford has made a good selling car they will make another one. It will be almost identical to the one that is selling well, we will add a few bells and whistles which we didn’t have time for when we made the first model and then we will add the words (or in this case numbers) 500 somewhere in the name of the car. Not many of us remember the Ford galaxie when it was first released due to its age. But when Ford sees fit to release exactly the same car but instead call it the Ford galaxie 500 then you have to wonder why? Ford was all about making money in those days and now they have enough to survive even the worst Ford boycott.
