Picked these up the other day... Nice ones for sure... Love the 64 Ford color combo, but not real crazy about the bubble hood on a convertible... ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I feel the same about the hoods on the Galaxies this release. Wanted to get both Galaxies as I missed the convertibles in the early releases. But the hood just kills it for me. |

Yeah, I agree with Scotty I still like it though it is odd. With that hood, you would think they would have thrown in some performance tires but maybe it's a big oversite. Like a goof and would that make it more valuable? |

The hood bubble on the Galaxie is a real turn off for me. The Dart Swinger looks very attractive in red! |

I like the hood bubble on the Galaxie. I guess because it is not the way it would have come from the factory, that's why some don't like it? I personally have always loved that hood on both Galaxies and Fairlanes. |

The hood bubble is a Ford design, used on their HiPo offerings. Wouldn't have been available on a convertible, but would have been available (and appropriate) aftermarket. Chevy's answer was Cowl Induction, same aerodynamic principle. |

I think a nice set of torque-thrust or Cragar SS rims would solve the problem on these convertibles. The white-walls and full wheel covers don't cut it with the Thunderbolt hood. |
