It is a yet cheaper version than the Custom 500. It is simply a Custom (with Rambler wheel covers) not to be mistaken from the Ford Custom pickups. Ford offered from top to bottom, 1) LTD 2)Galaxie 500 3)Custom 500 and a 4) Custom. Custom had non-chrome body color window pillars. Galaxie had sedan versions but chrome window pillars.
