1960 Ford Starliner

The Starliner was the sporty fastback version of the flagship Galaxie line of fullsize Fords. Produced in 1960 and 1961 it offered a great platform for Nascar teams to build their race cars.They were produced in limited numbers and due to their racing applications few survivors exist today.

Characterized by their thin roof pillars, fastback styling and slippery aerodynamics, they symbolized 1960s jet age design. While the '60 & '61 body styles share only their roof lines and chassis, they did share the same overall styling concept.

While surfing Google for a pic to use, we came across the very car we just bought!!


We've have been searching for one of these fine machines for some years now. They either seem to be very expensive show cars or piles of rust. Finally, this time last year we spotted this on Craig's List in San Francisco at a reasonable price. A quick call to the owner and it was ours. Duane Jones picked it up for us and dropped it down to Kiwi Shipping in LA.

That's when the fun started as the pink slip never turned up as promised. With Steve Curle's help we managed to get through the minefield of the DMV and eventually got the correct paperwork for it. I'm sure Steve was pleased to see the back of it after sitting for a year in his yard!
