Ford Galaxie 500 7 Litre indentification



Identifying a 7 Litre

The obvious method of recognition is the emblems located on the grill, front fenders, and trunk. Most (but not all) 7 Litres received a glove box badge as well. The absolute way to determine the car is an authentic 7 Litre and not a converted XL is in the serial number of the car as 7 Litres had their own model series.
