TESLASLOT88 Thus a major Ford styling theme dating back to 1952 finally was retired. Even the back windows on sedans -- such as the two-door Galaxie 500, which made its final appearance in the line -- took on a racier rake. Motor Trend tested two models, a Galaxie 500/XL four-door hardtop with a 390, and a two-door hardtop with a 427. The four-door stormed over tight, twisting mountain roads at high speed, and never once did the four-barrel carburetor cough or flood, even during maximum-effort cornering. Engines remained unchanged except for the 352, which picked up a four-barrel carb and an additional 30 horsepower. In 1965 Ford gave up, going to rectangular taillights for their full-sized cars (save for the low-priced Customs, which sported a round lens in a rectangular bezel). Cruise-O-Matic was now the standard transmission on the XLs, and Fordomatic was no longer available on any full-sized Ford. Exner's design extended to early-fifties concept cars like the 1953 Chrysler D'Elegance.|Formula Satu Musim 2024
