The Ford Galaxie is a car that was marketed by Ford in North America from the 1959 to 1974 model years. Deriving its nameplate from a marketing tie-in with the excitement surrounding the Space Race, the Galaxie was offered as a sedan within the full-size Ford range throughout its production run. In the full-size segment, the model line competed against the Chevrolet Impala and Dodge Polara (the latter, also receiving a nameplate inspired by the Space Race).
The model line was assembled by Ford in multiple sites across the United States; four generations of the model line were produced. The Galaxie was also produced locally by Ford Australia and Ford Brasil, adopting commonality from the third-generation 1965 design.
In 1958, a concept car was introduced called "la Galaxie" which incorporated the headlights into pods inline with the grille and a reduced front profile.
For 1962, all full-size Fords wore the Galaxie badge (replacing the Fairlane entirely), as higher-trim series took on Galaxie 500 and Galaxie 500XL badging. For 1965, the higher-content Galaxie 500 LTD was introduced as a flagship model. For 1966, the nomenclature was revised slightly. Alongside the introduction of the higher-performance Galaxie 500 7-Litre, the Galaxie 500 LTD became the Ford LTD, with the Galaxie now becoming the mid-level full-size series (above the Ford Custom/Custom 500). For 1967, the 500 7-Litre was phased into the Ford XL; along with the LTD, the Ford XL was slotted above the standard Galaxie/Galaxie 500.
The Galaxie remained slotted as the mid-range full-size Ford into the 1970s between the Custom and the LTD (the XL was discontinued after 1970). After the 1974 model year, Ford dropped both the Galaxie and the Custom in favor of consolidating its full-size sedan line to the LTD (the Custom 500 remained in production for fleet sales).: 401–42
The 1959 Ford range was introduced in late 1958 with the Fairlane 500 as the top trim level. During the 1959 model year, the Galaxie was added to the range as an additional trim level, assuming the top position from the Fairlane 500.: 402 The Galaxie was offered with the same sedan and hardtop body styles as the Fairlane 500 whilst the Sunliner and Skyliner convertibles were moved across from the Fairlane 500 range. Styling varied from the Fairlane 500 with the addition of a Ford Thunderbird-style C pillar on all but the Sunliner. Although a separate series from the Fairlane 500, 1959 Galaxie models carried both Fairlane 500 and Galaxie badging.
In keeping with the era, the 1959 Galaxie was a chrome and stainless steel-bedecked vehicle with optional two-tone paint. It was the very image of the ostentatious late-1950s American automobiles, though somewhat tamer than its Chevrolet and Plymouth competitors. Ford advertised "safety anchorage" for the front seats. The parking brake was now a pedal. Seat belts, a padded dashboard, and child-proof rear door locks were optional, while a deep-dished steering wheel and double-door locks were standard.
Among the models was the Skyliner, moved up-market from the Fairlane 500 and featuring a retractable hardtop that folded down into the trunk space. This feature was complicated and expensive, and left very little trunk room when folded down. Power retractable hardtops have since been used by luxury manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Cadillac, but in all these cases the vehicle was a two-seater, allowing a much smaller top mechanism than the Skyliner's. Not until 2006, when the Pontiac G6 convertible, Peugeot 206 CC (in Europe) and Volkswagen Eos appeared, did another mass-market model with a rear seat appear in this category.
A fixture also was the previous year's 352 V8, still developing 300 hp (220 kW; 300 PS).
The 1960 Galaxie introduced all-new design with less ornamentation. A new body style was the Starliner, featuring a huge, curving rear observation window on a pillarless, hardtop bodyshell. The thin, sloping rear roof pillar featured three "star" emblems that served as the Galaxie signature badge for all 1960 - 62 models. The formal roofed 2-door hardtop was not available this year, but the roofline was used for the Galaxie 2-door pillared sedan, complete with chromed window frames. It had been the most popular body style in the line for 1959, and sales dropped off sharply. Contrary to Ford's tradition of pie-plate round taillights, the 1960 featured "half-moon" lenses turned downward. The "A" pillar now swept backward instead of forward, making entering and exiting the car more convenient.
For 1961, the bodywork was redone again, although the underpinnings were the same as for 1960. This time, the tailfins were almost gone; the small blade-like fins capped smaller versions of 1959's "pie-plate" round taillamps once again. Performance was beginning to be a selling point, and the 1961 Galaxie offered a new 390 CID (6.4 L) version of Ford's FE series pushrod V8, which was available with either a four-barrel carburetor or, for higher performance, three two-barrel carburetors. The latter was rated at 401 hp (298 kW) (gross). The 352 was downgraded in favor of the 390; it was equipped with a 2-barrel carburetor and single exhaust. The Starliner was again offered this year, and Ford promoted this model with luxury and power equipment, but it was dropped at the end of the year, as the re-introduced square-roof hardtop coupe, the Galaxie Club Victoria, took the bulk of sales.
For 1962, the Galaxie name was applied to all of Ford's full size models, as the Fairlane name was moved to a new intermediate model and Custom was temporarily retired. New top-line Galaxie 500 (two-door sedan and hardtop, four-door sedan and hardtop, and "Sunliner" convertible) models offered plusher interiors, more chrome trim outside, and a few additional luxury items over and above what was standard on the plainer Galaxie models. Base Galaxie models were available in two- and four-door sedans as well as the plain Ranch Wagon. In an effort to stimulate midseason sales, Ford introduced a group of sporty cars along with a "Lively Ones" marketing campaign. These models featured the bucket seats and console that were popularized by the Chevrolet Corvair Monza, and included a Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe, and a Falcon Futura. The full-size line was available with new bucket-seats-and-console "Lively One," the Galaxie 500/XL (two-door hardtop and convertible). Ford stated in its sales literature that XL stood for "Xtra Lively."
The 223 cu in (3.7 L) "Mileage Maker" 6-cylinder was the base engine. The 292 cu in (4.8 L) V8 was standard on the 500/XL. The XL had sportier trim inside and out. This model was Ford's response to Chevrolet's Super Sport option for the big Impala, which was introduced the previous year and saw a significant rise in sales for 1962. A 406 cu in (7 L) engine was available in single four-barrel or triple-carbureted "six-barrel" form. Tailfins were gone, giving the 1962 models a more rounded, softer rear end look. Taillights were set lower into the rear panel and were partially sunken into the newly sculpted rear bumper. Outside, XL models got a thicker body side chrome spear, along with a new "Galaxie 500XL" emblem on each rear fender (including the convertible, where this badge replaced the "Sunliner" script). An oval version of the Galaxie "star" emblem replaced Ford crests on the roof sail panels on hardtops. Front fenders shapes were the same as 1961; a slightly modified flat-face grille featured a large "star"emblem in its center for all 500 and higher-priced Galaxie models.
The 1962 models were overweight by comparison to the Super Duty Pontiacs with their aluminum body panels and larger-displacement engines. Therefore, late in the production run, Ford's Experimental Garage was ordered to reduce the weight of the Galaxie. It produced 11 "lightweight Galaxies", making use of fiberglass panels, as well as aluminum bumpers, fender aprons, and brackets; the result was a Galaxie weighing in at under 3,400 lb (1,542 kg). The base 2-door Club Sedan was 3,499 lb (1,587 kg). It was an improvement.
The 1963 model was essentially unchanged save for some freshening and added trim; windshields were reshaped and a four-door hardtop 500/XL was added. A lower, fastback roofline was added mid-year to improve looks and make the big cars more competitive on the NASCAR tracks with less drag and reduced aerodynamic lift at high speed. This 1963½ model, the industry's first official "½ year" model, was called the "sports hardtop" or "fastback" (it shared this feature with the for 1963½ Falcon). Galaxie buyers showed their preference as the new sports hardtop models handily outsold the "boxtop" square-roof models. The sports hardtop was available in both Galaxie 500, and Galaxie 500/XL trim. Mercury also received the new roofline (under the Marauder badge) in Monterey, Montclair, and Park Lane models. This year, a no-frills big Ford, priced around $100.00 below the base Galaxie sedans, was offered, badged as the Ford 300. It was offered for 1963 only, and was replaced by the Custom series in 1964. The "Swing-away" steering wheel became optional.
The Fairlane's newly enlarged "Challenger" V8 engine of 260 cu in (4.3 L) replaced the Y-block 292 cu in (4.8 L) as the entry level V8. Later in the year, the 260 was replaced with an enlarged version displacing 289 cubic inches. At the beginning of the 1963 model run, the 292 Y-block V8 was replaced as the base V8 engine with the Fairlane's new small block 260. The 260 proved underpowered for the heavy full size Ford and was replaced midyear (coincident with the introduction of the 63 and 1/2 models) with the 289 V8. The 289 was then the largest of the "small block series" that was first used (221 cubic inch version) in the 1962 Fairlane. The 260 was offered on the Falcon Sprint and later, in mid 1964, in the early version of the 1965 Mustang. By 1965 model introduction (in the fall of 1964), the 260 (which had disappointing performance in all versions including the Sprint and Mustang) was replaced by the 289 in all models.
Ford continued to offer the FE series 352 in the 1963 full size, as well as 3 versions of the 390 V8 (regular, high performance, and police). Five different transmissions were offered for 1963. A 3-speed manual column shift was standard on all models except the 406 V8, which required the heavier duty Borg-Warner 4-speed manual. A three speed manual with overdrive was optional, but rarely ordered. The two-speed Ford-O-Matic was common with the 6-cylinder and small block V-8s, while the majority of big blocks (352 and 390) were ordered with the 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The availability of several different rear end ratios, along with 5 transmissions, and 8 different engines, led to a huge number of different driveline combinations for 1963. The most produced combination for the Galaxie and Galaxie 500 was the 352 V8, with Cruise-O-Matic and the 3.0 rear end ratio. Ford's "Club," "Town," and "Victoria" monikers for body styles were retired in 1963, replaced by generic labels, "2-door","4-door", and "Hardtop."
Partway through this year and in limited quantities, a new 427 replaced the 406 for racing applications. It was intended to meet NHRA and NASCAR 7-liter maximum engine size rules. This engine was rated at a 425 hp (317 kW) (gross horsepower) with 2 x 4 barrel Holley carburetors and a solid lifter camshaft. Ford also made available aluminum cylinder heads as a dealer option.
The 1963½ was still overweight, however. To be competitive in drag racing Ford produced 212 (around 170 from Ford Norfolk, about 20 from Ford Los Angeles) lightweight versions of the "R" code 427, in the Galaxie 500 Sport Special Tudor Fastback. Available only in Corinthian White with red vinyl interior, and with a list price of about US$4,200 (when a base Ford 300 went for US$2,324, and XL Fastback was US$3,268), these cars came stock with Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed, 4.11:1 rear axle, heavy-duty suspension and brakes, and were fitted with a fiberglass hood (a flat piece at first, late in 1963 the popular blister hood also used on the Thunderbolt), trunk, front fenders, and fender aprons, as well as aluminum bumpers and mounting brackets, transmission cases, and bellhousing. Hood springs, heater, trunk lining and mat, spare wheel and tire (and mounting bracket), trunk lid torsion bar, jack, lug wrench, one horn (of the stock two), armrests, rear ashtrays, courtesy lights, and dome light were removed to reduce weight. The first 20 cars had functional fiberglass doors, which shaved 25 lb (11 kg); these were deleted because of Ford's concern for safety if used on the highway. The cars had all sound-deadening material removed, lightweight seats and floormats, and no options. They were not factory equipped with cold-air induction, as the Thunderbolt would be. In addition, they were built on the 45 lb (20 kg)-lighter Ford 300 chassis, originally intended for a smaller-displacement V8. In all, the 427s were 375 lb (170 kg) lighter than before (425 lb (193 kg) with the fiberglass doors).
The first two lightweight Galaxies, using 289 cu in (5 L) bodies, were assembled at Wayne, Michigan, late in January 1963, to be tested at the 1963 Winternats. They were delivered to Tasca Ford (East Providence, Rhode Island) and Bob Ford (Dearborn, Michigan). Bill Lawton's Tasca Galaxie turned the best performance, with a 12.50 pass at 116.60 mph (187.65 km/h). It was not enough against the 1963 Chevrolet Impala Z-11s in Limited Production/Stock, however.
Three more were assembled from parts and tested at Ford's Experimental Garage in Dearborn. One of the next two, the last Winternationals test cars, was prepared by Bill Stroppe in Long Beach, California, for Les Ritchey; it was featured in the July 1963 issue of Hot Rod. For all their efforts, Ford discovered the Galaxies were still too heavy, and the project was abandoned. Some of these cars competed in England, Australia and South Africa after being modified by Holman and Moody who fitted them with disc brakes and other circuit racing components. Jack Sears won the 1963 British Saloon Car Championship driving Galaxies and Cortinas and the racing Galaxies were also driven by Sir Jack Brabham, Graham Hill and other notable drivers of the period. The heavy Galaxies suffered from persistent brake failure that led to a number of crashes, and in late 1963 started using the 12-inch disc brakes from the Ford GT40 program. By this time the Lotus Cortinas were being developed and the big Galaxie became uncompetitive.
Model year 1964 was the fourth and final year of this body style. Interior trim was altered, and the exterior featured a more sculpted look which was actually designed to make the car more aerodynamic for NASCAR. The formal-roof "boxtop" style was no longer available, all non-wagon models now featuring the "fastback" roof design that was the runaway best-seller in 1963. The base 300 was replaced by a line of Custom and Custom 500 models. The 289 continued as the base V8 and was standard in the XL series. XL models got new thin-shell bucket seats with chrome trim. Federal regulations now required lap-style safety belts for both front outboard occupants. The ignition switch was moved from the left side of the steering column, to the right, but otherwise the attractive instrument panel remained unchanged from '63. The 1964 XL two-door hardtop became the best seller of any XL produced in any year.
The 427 cu in (7.0 L) engine was used in 50 lightweight fiberglass-equipped cars for drag racing. These competed in North America but were still too heavy and Ford introduced the lightweight Fairlane Thunderbolt.
The Ford Country Squire station wagon, while wearing "Country Squire" badging, was actually part of the Galaxie 500 line. Some Country Squires had "Galaxie 500" badging on the glovebox indicating the series name. These station wagons featured the same trims as Galaxie 500s, and were a step up from the base-model Country Sedan.
The 1965 Galaxie was an all-new design, featuring vertically stacked dual headlights. The cars were taller and bulkier than the previous year's. The new top-of-the-line designation was the Galaxie 500 LTD and Galaxie 500 XL. The LTD and the XL trim package were accessory upgrades from the base Galaxie model. Engine choices were the same as 1964, except for an all-new 240 cu in (3.9 L) six-cylinder engine replacing the 1950s-era 223 "Mileage-Maker" six and the 352 was now equipped with dual exhausts and a four-barrel carburetor.
Suspension on the 1965 models was redesigned. Replacing the former leaf-spring rear suspension was a new three-link system, with coil springs. Interiors featured a new instrument panel, as well as two-way key vehicle access: the introduction of two keys was for valet parking, where the rounded head key would only open the trunk or locked glove compartment, while the squared-head key would only unlock the doors and the ignition.
The 1966 model had a slight "Coke Bottle" design and new horizontally split grille among other small changes.
A new model was introduced for 1966; the Galaxie 500 7 Litre, fitted with a new engine, the 345 hp 428 cu in (7.0 L) Thunderbird V8. This engine was also available on the Ford Thunderbird and the Mercury S-55. The police versions received a 360 hp version of the 428 known as the 'Police Interceptor' as police cars. Safety regulations for 1966 required seat belts front and rear on all new cars sold domestically. The Galaxie 500 would be the number three-selling convertible in the U.S. in 1966, with 27,454 sold; it was beaten by the Mustang (at 72,119, by nearly 2.5:1) and by the Impala at 38,000. A parking brake light on the dashboard and an AM/FM radio were optional. The 1966 LTD dropped the Galaxie name.: 423
The 1966 body style was introduced in Brazil (Ford do Brasil) as a 1967 model; it used the same platform and body throughout its lifetime until Brazilian production ended in 1983. A vehicle of this model was used by Queen Elizabeth during her visit to Chile in 1968, and has since been preserved by the Chilean government as a ceremonial state car.
For 1967, the 7 Litre model no longer carried the Galaxie name; it was to be the last year of it being separately identified. That identification was mainly trim such as horn ring and dashboard markings as well as the "Q" in the Vehicle Identification Number. The 7 Litre for 1967 was a trim and performance option on the Ford XL, which was now a separate model as well. Little else changed, except for trim and the styling; the same engines were available, from the 240 cu in (3.9 L) six-cylinder to the 428 cu in (7.0 L) V8. Modifications to the styling included adding a major bend in the center of the grille and making the model less "boxy" than the 1966 model. An 8-track tape cartridge player became an option. Back-up lights were standard.
For 1967 all Fords featured a large, padded hub in the center of the plastic steering wheel, along with an energy-absorbing steering column (introduced late into the 1967 model year), padded interior surfaces, recessed controls on the instrument panel, and front outboard shoulder belt anchors. Another safety related change was the introduction of the dual brake master cylinder used on all subsequent Galaxies (and other Ford models).
The 1968 model had a new grille with headlights arranged horizontally, although the body was essentially the same car from the windshield back. The 'long hood, short deck' style with a more upright roofline and a notchback rear was followed too, as was the new trend for concealed headlights on the XL and LTD. One other change for 1968 was that the base V8 engine increased from 289 cu in (4.7 L) to 302 cu in (4.9 L). Standard equipment included courtesy lights, a cigarette lighter, a suspended gas pedal, and padded front seat backs.
The 1968 models featured additional safety features, including side marker lights and shoulder belts on cars built after December 1, 1967. The 1967 model's large steering wheel hub was replaced by a soft "bar" spoke that ran through the diameter of the wheel (and like the 1967 style, was used throughout the Ford Motor Company line). A plastic horn ring was also featured.
The 1969 model was built on a new platform with a 121-inch (3,100 mm) wheelbase. It was the end for the 427 and 428 engines, save for only the police package versions which continued to use the 360 hp 428 P Code 'Police Interceptor' as their top motor for 1969-70. Replacing the FE series-based 427 and 428 engines was the new 429 cu in (7.0 L) "ThunderJet" that was introduced in the 1968 Ford Thunderbird; it was part of the new Ford 385 engine series. Power, at 360 hp (270 kW) for the dual-exhaust 4-barrel version, was higher than the 428's 345 hp (257 kW) and lower than the racing-bred 427's final rating of 390 hp (290 kW); there was also a single-exhaust 2-barrel version with 320 hp (240 kW) available. The dashboard was built as a pod around the driver rather than traditionally extending across both sides. The XL and Galaxie 500 Sportsroof had rear sail panels to simulate a fastback roofline. The rear trim panel below the tail lights was used to distinguish the different trim levels. The Country Squire was, perhaps, the pinnacle of design for that wagon with the concealed headlights.
Headrests were featured on 1969 model cars built after January 1, 1969. It was not until 1968 that a station wagon was actually marketed under the Galaxie name. From 1955 to 1968 full-size Ford wagons were treated as a separate model series and were listed as Ranch Wagon, Country Sedan, and Country Squire. For the 1969 model year a higher-trim Ranch Wagon was offered as the Custom 500 Ranch Wagon, the Country Sedan the Galaxie Country Sedan and the Country Squire was marketed as the LTD Country Squire.: 394–429
Galaxies for model year 1970 received minor trim changes. A new ignition lock was located on the right side of the steering column. Model year 1970 was the last year for the XL, but Galaxie 500 hardtop coupes were also available in both formal-roof and SportsRoof body styles. The optional 4-speed manual transmission, which was available on the 429 the year prior, was dropped for 1970.
A complete redesign was offered for 1971. This included a horizontal wrap around front bumper with a massive vertical center section much in the vein of concurrent Pontiacs. Taillights lost the traditional "rocket" exhaust theme in favor of horizontal lights and trimmed center section. Rooflines were squared off and had a "formal" air. The XL was dropped, as were concealed headlight covers for the LTD. The convertible was moved to the LTD series in 1970 (1971 model year) and lasted through 1972. The engine line-up saw some changes for '71. The 351 2v V8 was now standard equipment on all full-sized Fords save for the lower-line Custom & Custom 500 versions where the 240 straight six was still the base power plant with a 302 2v V8 and up still offered as options. The optional 390 2v FE V8 was replaced mid-year by a new 335 series 400 2v V8. The 429 4v was still the top engine, while the police-only versions received a new 370 hp 429 'Police Interceptor' as their new top offering. A column-shifted 3-speed manual was still the base transmission on the 240,302 & 351 engines with Select-Shift automatic being optional but mandatory on all of the larger engines.
Models for 1972 were similar but the vertical center grille section was now not so prominent as the front bumper now continued across it and the rear bumper was enlarged with inset taillamps. This was also the final year for the 240 cu in (3.9 L) six-cylinder engine and three-speed manual transmission (which was available only with the six-cylinder engine); all V8-powered Galaxies had SelectShift automatic transmission as standard equipment.
The 1973 model was marginally shorter than previous models, but had a heavier, bulker appearance. Three towing packages were optional, each with increasing towing capacity. For law men, there were multiple Police package versions available with engines ranging from the 351 2v to the powerful 460 Police Interceptor. Taxi packages continued to be offered as well. All 1973 full-sized Fords now came with a 351 2v V8-engine and SelectShift automatic transmission as their base driveline. Four-door sedans with metal door frames were replaced with a new "Pillared Hardtop" model which featured a thin "B" post and frameless door glass. This body style was offered together with the traditional pillarless four-door hardtop.
The 1974 model year was essentially a repeat of 1973, but it was the last year for the Galaxie 500 name. Ford elected to consolidate most of its full-size models under the popular LTD name for 1975, while reserving the base-model Custom 500 (which was below the Galaxie 500) nameplate for fleet buyers and private customers who insisted on the lowest-priced full-sized model possible. Power front disc brakes were standard.
The LTD stayed on as the top full-size model. Although a top seller and high-end model for many years, the Galaxie was slowly phased out and de-emphasized by Ford Motor Co. in an effort to push the posher LTD as a mainstream full size car.
Approximately 7,850,000 full-size Fords and Mercurys were sold over 1968–1978. This makes it the second best selling Ford automobile platform after the Ford Model T.
Total Series Production includes Custom, Custom 500, Seven Litre, Station Wagon, LTD, and all Galaxie models. Galaxie Production includes Galaxie, Galaxie 500, Galaxie 500XL, XL, and Galaxie 500 LTD when LTD was not a separate model (until 1967).
The Ford Galaxie was also produced in Australia from late 1964 to 1968. The 1965 model, which was designated as the Galaxie GE series by Ford Australia, was assembled at Ford's Homebush West plant in Sydney, and was offered as a 4-door sedan with a choice of 289 cu in (4.7 L) or 390 cu in (6.4 L) cid V8 engines. 1966, 1967 and 1968 models were also assembled at Homebush prior to a change to full importation from 1969, with conversion from left to right hand drive being undertaken at Ford's Broadmeadows facility in Melbourne. The 1969 model was marketed as the Galaxie LTD, as were subsequent models through to the introduction of the locally developed Ford LTD in 1973.
Prior to local assembly which began in late 1964, small numbers of RHD full imports were sourced through select Australian Ford dealers, and also by Ford of Australia for executive use. RHD wagons, convertibles and fastbacks, 2- and 4-door hardtops, XLs and LTDs were generally sourced as full imports from Ford of Canada until approx 1968. The fully imported 1959 to early 1963 models used a 1959 U.S. Fairlane dashboard and instruments. In late 1963, a 1959 Edsel Corsair-based dashboard was used, and for 1964, a 1959 Edsel Ranger-based dashboard was used. However, some RHD 1963s and 1964s have been photographed with the more attractive U.S.-style 1964 cluster. Australian assembled 1965–1968 models were sourced in CKD form from Ford of Canada. The 1965–1967 model Galaxies adopted the RHD dashboard based on the 1963 Lincoln Continental. The 1967 models got the U.S.-market safety steering wheel with its thickly padded center hub. This wheel was retained for 1968, and the 1968 Torino cluster replaced the Continental version. Some right hand drive 1967 models have been seen with a mirror image of the US-style instrument panel for that year.
Australian assembled cars 1965–1968 received a woodgrain dashboard fascia, and accessories as standard, such as:
For the 1968 model year the 289 CID engine was dropped as the base option in favor of the new 302 CID (Windsor) V8.
Australian assembly of 1965 to 1968 model Galaxies from CKD kits totalled 3,124 vehicles with 1,766 of the 1969 to 1972 models converted to right-hand-drive in Australia.
The 1966 four-door sedan version of the Galaxie was also produced in Brazil under the names Galaxie, Galaxie 500, LTD and Landau from 1967 to 1983. Two units were used as the presidential car until 1990. Some of these ran neat ethanol (E100), and had 28 gallon fuel tanks.
The Brazilian production started in 1967, and finished in 1983. The 4 door sedan was the only body version available for that market.
The 1967 Brazilian Ford Galaxie was visually identical to its 1966 American counterpart. For that year model the only available engine was the 272 cu in (4.5 L) Y-block v8, with a two barrel carburettor.
During the production, the 1967 body (or 1966 for the American market) remained - and received face-lifts through the years.
The main face-lift was in 1976, when the headlights became horizontally oriented, and the front end resembled the 1965 Lincoln Continental. Also from 1976, the 302 cu in (4.9 L) V8 Windsor engine with a two barrel carburettor replaced the Y-block and became the only available option until the end of the Brazilian production in 1983.

- 1 1/2 pounds broccoli (2 small heads)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 6 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced preserved lemon rind, plus julienned rind for garnish
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Adapted from foodandwine.com
Preheat the oven to 475°. Place a baking sheet on the center rack and allow to heat for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the broccoli lengthwise into 1/3-inch- thick slabs, reserving any florets that fall off; trim the florets to form mini steaks that lie flat.
In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, olive oil and crushed red pepper and season with salt and black pepper. Carefully arrange in a single layer, cut side down, on the hot baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and tender.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, minced lemon rind and lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper.
Transfer the broccoli to plates and top with the cheese. Garnish with julienned lemon rind. Spoon the yogurt sauce on the side and serve.
The preserved lemon yogurt can be refrigerated overnight.

The Future of What’s Happening Now A comprehensive view of the states’ marijuana laws regarding medical use, workplace accommodations and driving under the influence. Today, 36 states and the District of Columbia allow medical use of marijuana.
August 27, 2021 •
Currently, 18 states and the District of Columbia have the broadest allowances for marijuana use, legalizing medical and adult recreational use; a handful of other states have passed legislation allowing medical marijuana.
Overall, 47 states have some form of cannabis allowance, only Idaho, Kansas and Nebraska do not have any public programs for marijuana use. But marijuana laws and programs remain a highly contested topic and often see modifications as political power changes. (See also: State Marijuana Laws from 2019 Map)

KNOXVILLE — Three Tennessee judicial districts on Tuesday announced a legal effort to make the drugmakers who supplied the opiates that addicted millions — Big Pharma — pay for the epidemic their drugs created.
Prosecutors in three judicial districts in upper East Tennessee announced Tuesday morning the filing of a lawsuit in Sullivan County Circuit Court against opioid drugmakers Purdue Pharma, Mallinckrodt and Endo.
Tennessee has more opiate addicts per capita than every state in the nation except West Virginia. Sullivan County is considered an epicenter, so much so its law enforcement agencies snared their own reality television shows.
The lawsuit comes on the heels of similar governmental legal action filed in Ohio, Illinois, Mississippi, New York and California. The Cherokee Nation in May sued in tribal court. Another lawsuit filed in Washington in January alleged that Purdue Pharma, makers of OxyContin, knew the drug was being sold on the streets and collected millions for it and did nothing to stop it.
In West Tennessee, Shelby County is considering filing a similar lawsuit.
Tennessee, however, is not a party to the lawsuit. Sullivan County District Attorney General Barry Staubus said he and his two prosecutorial partners in the neighboring 1st and 3rd judicial districts did not consult with the state attorney general’s office before filing the lawsuit.
Such lawsuits borrow a page from the playbook state attorneys general used to hit Big Tobacco with the financial cost of its addictive products in 1998. States made billions and still are, money that was supposed to go to help people quit smoking and cover the government’s medical bills for the physical toll cigarettes caused. The big cigarette makers agreed to pay out $206 billion in the first 25 years, and they’ll keep paying indefinitely after that.
It didn’t stop people from smoking, or the tobacco makers from making money. Public awareness of not only the addictive properties of tobacco but the stew of chemicals in the tobacco used in cigarettes lowered the number of smokers over time.
But the opioid legal field on which this game of wielding executive power in the judicial branch of government will be played is much different for these state attorneys general.
It wasn’t hard to prove tobacco makers hid the addictive side of their product and put the drug into the hands of unsuspecting buyers. Smokers smoked, no idea they were inhaling a drug that would hook them physically and mentally. Big Tobacco knew it. Once lawyers proved they knew it and hid it, it wasn’t hard to convince courts tobacco makers bore direct responsibility.
Big pharmaceutical companies don’t put their drugs into the hands of patients. They made the highly addictive opiate drugs and courted doctors to prescribe them. Doctors were the ones who prescribed them for all manner of pain — from a back ache to cancer. Pharmacies sold them the addictive drugs.
Not only will these state attorneys general and upper East Tennessee prosecutors have to prove information about the addictive nature of opiates was hidden from patients, but they also must show from whom it was hidden. Did the pharmaceutical companies mislead doctors? Or, did the doctors hide it from the patients? Were pharmacists to blame?
And what of the patients themselves? Smokers bought cigarettes and smoked them, a proper use of the product. They got addicted and sick. There was no black market for cigarettes.
The opioid epidemic is fueled by people who kept using the drugs even after their pain subsided and people who grew addicted after using painkillers prescribed for someone else.
The Los Angeles Times revealed in an investigation into Purdue Pharma that the drugmaker sold the drug OxyContin as a 12-hour pain reliever but knew it wore off before then. Patients suffering withdrawals then took more than prescribed, leading them to become addicted and sick.
But a long history of overprescribing by doctors has also been documented by many media organizations. Opiate addiction and mounting overdose deaths hit epidemic proportions after medical professionals began profiting from pain clinics at which the addictive drugs were doled out with little, if any, examination.
Even the Justice Department has taken aim at the medical community, particularly in East Tennessee, where the U.S. aAttorney’s office has successfully sent doctors and other medical professionals tied to pain clinics to federal prison.

The family of UK soccer star Theo Walcott is reportedly set to make a cameo appearance in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The TimesOnline reports tonight that Theo Walcott himself will be unable to record his scene in the movie due to his committment to his team, however his family will still be in the fifth Potter film. The brief article says:
"The footballerâs father Don, his mother, Lynn, and Ashley, 19, his older brother, have just completed costume fittings for their parts in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth film from JK Rowlingâs series of novels, due out in 2007. Walcott himself had also been due to appear in the movie but had to pull out because filming schedules clashed with his commitments for Arsenal and England Under-21s. âI canât tell you what scene itâs going to be because thatâs a secret, youâll have to have to wait and see,â said Don Walcott.

High accuracy long distance ranging is essential, for instance, for the alignment of high energy particle accelerators and colliders , and more generally for large scale installations . Electronic distance measurement is often a challenge in formation flight space missions that require, at some level depending of the mission goal, knowledge of the absolute distances during all the formation flight.
Beyond the basic time-of-flight measurement, unable to reach micron-scale resolution for a measurement of 1s duration, many different measurement schemes have been considered. Measuring the phase of an amplitude modulation at high frequency can provide high resolution. However, not only phase measurements can be biased by signal cross-talk, but also they are obtained modulo 2π. Increasing the modulation frequency F, and hence, decreasing “synthetic wavelength” Λ = c / F, improves the measurement resolution, but also results in a smaller non-ambiguity range, the range beyond which the distance measurement cannot be obtained without some additional information. Multi-wavelength interferometry has been able to provide both long synthetic wavelength and sub-wavelength accuracy . Using multiple 40GHz phase modulations of a CW laser, MSTAR  has reached nm-scale accuracy. More recently Coddington et al.  have demonstrated a laser ranging scheme that efficiently combines time-of-flight and interference measurements in a single measurement inspired from optical linear sampling . Spurious reflexions, that would affect the measurements made following [3, 4], are under control in , as the corresponding signals occur in a specific time window, and can be rejected, at least when they do not coincide with the ranging signal to be exploited.
These advances, however, are obtained at the expense of sophisticated set-ups that might require significant engineering to be space-qualified.
In  we presented a measurement scheme that allows a distance to be obtained from the phase of a high frequency (HF) amplitude modulation, with no bias from signal cross-talk of phase drifts in the electronic or optical channels. A measurement was presented, with an Allan deviation slightly below 1 micron. The measurement procedure has been modified to prevent optical interference in the optics. As will be shown in sect
II, the Allan deviation now shows a minimum slightly below 10nm, yet with a set-up that remains very simple,
and with no additional information needed.
It can be shown  that, due to fundamental limits, a measurement in which the scale is given by a ≈ 10 mm synthetic wavelength is inadequate for distance measurements with a resolution well below the nm level: only optical interferometry can provide very high resolution. This is why we have considered another measurement scheme, in which a two-mode laser beam is split in two, propagates along a reference and a measurement path, and is recombined to produce an interference. The detected signal will have “mixed” features, with both
- (two-mode) HF intensity modulation, with a scale given by the synthetic wavelength,
- and (single-mode) optical interference, with a scale given by the optical wavelength.
Preliminary analysis of the method and the signal is given in sect. III.
TWO-MODE AMPLITUDE MODULATION
Principles of the measurement
Phase measurements can be done with high resolution, but the accuracy of the phase measurements is limited by systematic errors due to
i) offsets and drifts in the electronics
ii) cyclic errors due to cross-talk or spurious signals at the same frequency as the processed signals.
In , contribution -i) was kept below 5µm by measuring a reference target every minute. If perfectly constant, contribution -ii) can be removed  by numerical processing. Otherwise, it will remain as a systematic error.
As shown in , shifts and drifts, altogether with cyclic errors, can be removed by use of
- a polarisation switch that allows the roles of the measurement and reference paths to be exchanged with respect to the two photodiodes (see Fig. 1) at a kHz rate,
- and a lock-in amplifier (LIA) to monitor the phasemeter output signal.
If the LIA output is locked to zero through a feedback to the VCO, then the reference and measurement modulations are in phase when they recombine at the PBS cube, and in that case, not only contributions -i) are totally eliminated, but also cyclic errors (contribution -ii)), provided that the signal amplitude is not affected in the measurement/reference switching. Then the path length difference ΔL is recovered through
The frequency F(t) can be measured with high accuracy, and K is an integer, that can be determined at the start of the measurements by K = F1/(F2 – F1) where the frequencies F1 and F2 correspond to two successive zeroes of the LIA output .
In  the high-frequency modulated beam was obtained by phase-locking two single-mode lasers as shown in Fig. 1. The polarization switch was obtained by a polarization controller followed by a fibred polarising beam splitter. The Allan deviation of the length measurements is plotted in dark blue in Fig. 2 and shows a bump for frequencies of 1 or a few Hz. In , interference effects, between the photodiode (return loss 15dB) and the fibred collimator, were considered as a possible origin for this noise. This has been confirmed using low return loss (typ. 35dB) photodiodes: the noise is roughly 10 times lower (yellow curves in Fig. 2), as expected if the noise is due to an interference. The fact that a further reduction is obtained by inserting optical isolators (light blue and purple curves in Fig. 2) also confirms this interpretation.
The lack of stability at long time scales, however, indicates the presence of systematic effects.
Optical cross-talk and interference
Among other sources of systematic effects , optical cross-talk has to be considered. At first sight the finite extinction ratio of the PBS cube, used to separate between the measurement and reference paths, would seem to be a serious problem. In our measurement, however, the phase of the measured signals is not affected. Let us consider, for instance, that the PBS cube reflects, not only the S polarisation, but also a small fraction (typ. in optical power) of the P polarisation. Then the expected signal to be measured in the P (measurement path) channel, IP(t) = (I / 2) × cos[δ(t –L / c)] in the case of a ideal PBS cube, is replaced by
where δ = 2πF is the pulsation of the HF modulation, and ωav =2π(vMasterLaser + F / 2) is the average optical pulsation. The third term (the second in size) results from the interference term between the two paths.
In range meters that measure the phase of the modulated beam, the third term is a significant source of systematic error, since it contributes to the signal with a phase δ(L + l) / 2c ≠δ L / c. In our measurement, these contributions are present. But since we operate at a frequency such that δ(L – l) / c is locked to zero (mod. 2π), the phases, δ(L + l) / 2c for the third term (or δl / c for the second) are identical to δL / c (mod.π). Hence the phases of the optical beat-note remains unaffected by this, otherwise large, systematic effect.
For any other interference the same conclusion does not hold, since the lengths involved do not share the same relation. For instance, reflexion at the entrance and exit sides of the PBS cube are expected to give rise to systematics. This can be checked by scanning the frequency of the master laser, and recording the open loop output of the LIA, all other parameters being kept constant. As shown in Fig. 3, the telemeter signal wobbles around its average value, in regular pattern. Two obvious free spectral ranges can be observed,
- 4 GHz, which corresponds to interference inside the 25mm PBS cube
- 300 MHz, which also involves two reflexions at the PBS cube on the way through the corner cube.
These two contributions are absent when the PBS cube is replaced by a thick, 45° plate polariser  to prevent interference effects. In that case the open loop signal is smaller than 1μm peak-to-peak.
Thus, reducing interference effects is critical for reaching high accuracy. The fact that, in the scheme presented above the HF amplitude modulation is obtained through the beat-note of two single-mode lasers is very useful in tracking the origin of systematic effects. But once they are minimised by choosing optics that minimise reflexion at normal incidence, then the importance of systematic effects can be further reduced by using a source with a coherence length shorter than the cavity involved in the interference.
Fig. 4 shows a typical set-up for a telemeter that would exploit modulation of a broadband source. A stability of about 7nm at 1 minute duration has been obtained with such a set-up (black curve in Fig. 2), using a ~5nm bandwidth, ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) source. The fact that stability is somewhat worse for shorter and longer time scales seems to be due to technical noise in the ASE source, and to drifts in the polarisation controller, respectively. It seems reasonable to expect further improvements at long and short time scales.
THE MIXED, INTERFERENCE+MODULATION, APPROACH
Principles of the measurement
Although a remarkably simple set-up such as Fig. 4 is certainly of interest for space applications, it is expected to be limited to a ≈1nm√Hz noise floor due to photon statistics for 1mW detected light power. The search for better resolution implies that optical interference lies at the heart of the measurement. In the set-up in Fig. 5, the signal delivered by the “measurement photodiode” PhD1 results from the interference between the measurement beam (path length L) and the reference beam (path length l) and is exploited using the amplitude and phase reference provided by the “reference photodiode” PhD0.
The data acquisition records the values of the amplitudes A0, A1 and phases φ0, φ1 of the HF modulations detected by PhD0 and PhD1. Considering the different contributions to the signal at frequency F = δ / 2π, and writing ε2 the fraction of power (of the order of one or a few %) that propagates along the reference path, one gets, for the HF signal from photodiode PhD1, the expression
in which constant factors have been omitted. The first two terms correspond to the beams that have followed, respectively, the measurement and reference path. In the “phasor” representation, they correspond to two (one large and one small) vectors, constant as long as L, l and δ are constant. Only the third term, the interference term, involves the optical wavelength, through ωav =2πc / λ. When the optical wavelength is scanned over more than c /(L–l), the amplitude of the third term oscillates, and the corresponding vector in the phasor representation of Fig. 6, ranges from one to the other end of the segment drawn in dashed line.
When the optical wavelength is kept constant, and the measurement path length L is scanned, not only the oscillating behavior mentioned above is observed for the third term of (3), but at the same time,
- the first term of (3) rotates with the phase factor eiδL / c and describes a circle centered at (0,0),
- the third term also rotates, although with a speed twice smaller, as the phase factor is eiδ(L+l) / 2c for the interference term. This is the reason for this peculiar shape of the pattern in Fig. 6-b).
Exploitation of the mixed signal
This complex shape may seem difficult to exploit for laser ranging. However, a time-of-flight measurement can be done beforehand, yielding ΔLTOF ≡ (L – l)TOF with an accuracy better than 0.1mm . This preliminary information can be used to measure the mixed signal for three values λ, λ’ and λ’’ of the optical wavelength that differ by c/(2ΔLTOF) and c/(4ΔLTOF). Then, appropriate exploitation of Aeiφ as a function of λ provides -i) the middle (M, in Fig. 6-a) of the segment, from which ΔLsynth, the intermediate precision ranging can be retrieved and -ii) the interferometric phase 2πΔL / λ, from which the high resolution ranging ΔLInterf can be obtained. This last value will be a high accuracy (sub-nm) ΔL determination, provided that
- λ, locked to a known reference, is known with the required accuracy
- the measurement of the amplitude and phase of the PhD1 signal is made with an accuracy much below 10-4 and 10-4 cycle in amplitude and phase, respectively.
Preliminary mixed signal data (Fig. 7), recorded with no optics at normal incidence, show deviations (3×10-3peak-to-peak) that mainly originate in the non-linearity in the commercial oscilloscope used for data acquisition. More work is needed to bring the accuracy to better than 10-4 and 10-4 cycle in the amplitude and phase measurements of the HF signal from PhD1.
We have presented two ranging systems under development that exploit a laser beam with high frequency amplitude modulation. With a simple setup in which a low coherence source can be used, as the measurement makes no use of interference, a resolution of 10 nm has been obtained after analysis and reduction of systematic errors. The highest resolution will be obtained by implementing an interferometer with a two-mode source, in a way that generates a high-frequency signal in which the amplitude and phase are modulated by optical interference. Preliminary data confirm the principle of the measurement, as well as the importance of removing any optics at which unwanted interference can take place. A digital electronics will have to deal with the control of the optical wavelength during data acquisition and with the processing of the data.

Finishing Touch Smoothing StationThe Finishing TouchTM Smoothing Station uses a semi-automated process to improve the surface finish of FDM parts to near injection-molded quality without the labour and cost associated with traditional manufacturing. In fact, Finishing Touch makes FDM parts up to 15 times smoother.
Whether you’re creating concept models, patterns or end use parts, now you can
make them even smoother. Use the Stratasys Finishing Touch to give your parts a finish that are ideal for painting, plating, silicone molding, sand casting or investment casting.
- Painted parts
- Mold masters
- Electroplated components
- Vacuum metallization
- Sealed surfaces (contact with liquids or moderate air and water pressure)
You can use Finishing Touch with our entire family of ABS thermoplastics including: ABS-P400, ABSi, ABSplus-P430, ABS-M30 and ABS-M30i.
With Finishing Touch you can make FDM concept models, patterns or end use parts up to 15 times smoother. Small layer lines are easily removed, leaving you with a surface finish close to an injection-molded part.
Smoothing with Finishing Touch does not affect part accuracy. An independent study was conducted by the University of Texas-El Paso to test part accuracy after the smoothing process. The study found that the smoothing process made negligible dimensional changes on smoothed parts.
Before smoothing, 49 measurements were recorded on 6 test parts manufactured on a Fortus 3D Production System. After three 20-second exposures in the smoothing chamber, the mean deviation of pre-smoothed dimensions versus post-smoothing dimensions determined that the smoothing process changed the parts by only 0.0009 inches (0.023 mm). As a result, researchers concluded that the smoothing process has an insignificant effect on part accuracy.

Finding the perfect Mini Keyboard For Typing is not rocket science and doesn’t require extensive research. Some important features which you should look out for are described below.
While there are numerous brands on the market, the truth is not all of them can give you the features you may need.
We’ve done the legwork of locating the most reputable brands around for you. Choosing from these, you’ll be much less likely than going to a store and grabbing something without considering the brand and everything behind it.
Durability is one of the primary features which are important for most products. They don’t often have long lifespans and require replacement every now then.
Before you buy any product from the store, make sure you know about the material well. Sometimes, many people buy the wrong product even after spending a lot of bucks. Why do they do that? Probably because they don’t know which material ensures ultimate durability.
You should always focus on the quality of a product before getting it. Make sure it’s sturdy and built to last. No matter whether it’s made of wood, metal, plastic, aluminum or steel.
Features of Mini Keyboard For Typing
Before deciding on a specific product, be certain that it has all the necessary features you require.
If you’re unsure concerning something, don’t hesitate to ask the manufacturer. That way, you can make the right purchase that provides precise results.
Quality of the Mini Keyboard For Typing
The quality of the product is an important factor. If you happen to get one with low-quality material, you will have a tough time trying to maneuver them.

Cost shouldn’t be an issue if you’re willing to invest in a high-quality product. An inexpensive product often has great features, so you get great value for your money.
However, expensive products don’t necessarily mean to be of exceptional quality. We prefer to say you select something that fulfills your needs.
Ease of Use

So, you should always look for the ones that come with an easy to use process. You can find different designs, so you should choose the one that comes with more convenient features.

The product size is one of the most important aspects to consider before purchasing a Mini Keyboard For Typing. You need to know what kind of product you want to buy to best fit your needs.
It is essential to buy a product that addresses your needs based on your product dimensions. Spending money on something you will likely need is a waste of money. You should choose a product that will meet your needs based on its power.

Don’t just pick any brand, no matter how excellent, inexpensive, or available it is. Ensure that safety measures have been considered.
Materials of the Mini Keyboard For Typing
We advise not to buy products from brands that don’t specify the materials they use unless we’re sure the product is made with good quality materials. It’s important to be confident about a purchase before you make one, so when the materials used aren’t clearly specified, it makes us doubt the product’s quality.
It’s imperative to consider what material will work best for your requirements before you make an investment since you could find yourself wasting your money.
As you know by now, there are various types of Mini Keyboard For Typing available in the market. You have to understand the pros and cons of individual types of products before picking the perfect one for your needs.
It is best to compare the advantages with each other before determining the perfect type.
Before you can utilize a product, often there are some fundamental guidelines that must be followed to get the most out of it. While some people may be able to just figure it out on their own, others may need an instruction manual.
Instruction manual is designed to provide you with information about how to use the product. The manual also goes over the safety precautions and explains how to recognize potential hazards. So you should buy the product that comes with an instruction manual.
When you are planning to buy a Mini Keyboard For Typing, you will definitely think of its performance because nobody wants to waste his money buying a wrong product. So, check ins and outs of the Mini Keyboard For Typing from user’s review, forums and expert people before you pick a specific model.

Banyan Tree Grand Residences - ultra-luxury villas with access to Banyan Tree resort
Developed by Laguna Hotels and Resorts (Thailand arm of Banyan Tree Group), Banyan Tree Grand Residences Phuket encompasses a small collection of luxury three and five-bedroom villas that meld distinct Banyan Tree hallmarks with traditional Thai grace and charm.
Grand Residences is located at the heart of Laguna Phuket - unique integrated resort occupying the entire center of Bang Tao beach. Since 1984 - when founders of Banyan Tree purchased the initial land plot - Laguna has developed to include 7 hotels, over 20 residential developments, golf course, restaurants, spa, retail galleries and more. To property buyers, Laguna offers a secure, high-end neighborhood, hotel-standard maintenance of common grounds, developed infrastructure, high connectivity (the entire area developed around Laguna, so it’s no surprise that all the main shopping and entertainment is within a short drive).
Banyan Tree Grand Residences is, so far, the most luxurious project in Laguna. It occupies one of the best land plots on a quiet private stretch of beachside, being separated from Layan beach only by a road and 150 meters of green, public land (being a public land means it will never be developed). Not only are Grand Residences located next to Banyan Tree Phuket - as a matter of fact it’s part of the resort, being connected to it by a walkway. Homeowners and tenants can enjoy direct access to the resort’s facilities.
Project consists of 9 luxury pool villas, all facing a picturesque lagoon. There are 2 villa types - 3 bedrooms and 5 bedrooms. If you buy off-plan, you can select which type you want built on your plot.
All Banyan Tree projects in Thailand offer a line-up of special bonuses and privileges, including the following:
- Sanctuary Club Card - a special membership program that gives the buyers discounts and privileges in all Banyan Tree properties worldwide.
- Developer financing - which is a big deal considering how difficult it is to get financing for foreign real estate buyers in Thailand.
You can contact us to find out more about these and other benefits (rest assured, being the most luxury project in Laguna, Banyan Tree Grand Residences has some very special bonuses).
- Big, reputable developer
- Exceptional beachside location and neighborhood
- Unique deferred payment plan offer
- Extensive list of lifestyle bonuses, both locally and globally in Banyan Tree network
Banyan Tree Grand Residences is located in the center of Laguna Phuket - an integrated resort and high-end residential area in the heart of Bang Tao beach. This is probably the best area for higher-end residential projects on Phuket, which is well reflected by most of new luxury projects being built here.
Grand Residences are ~150 m from the beach. There is no construction possible between the project and the sea due to the land zoning.
Bang Tao’s prime Boat Avenue shopping area is easily accessible within 10 minutes drive, so is Porto de Phuket mall. One of the best international schools on Phuket - USW - is within 20 minutes drive, Phuket International Airport - 25 minutes.
Laguna Phuket has on-demand free shuttle service that can deliver tenants to any place within Laguna, including the entrance to Boat Avenue area.
|Unit||Price||Bedrooms||Bathrooms||Size m2||Floor plans|
|3-Bedroom Pool Villa||฿ 86,000,000||3||4||514.00|
|5-Bedroom Pool Villa||฿ 110,000,000||5||6||788.00|
