Director's Page

Hello, I'm Greg Patterson. I am a lifetime member of the Ford Galaxie Club of America and founding director of Carolina Galaxies. I am also a former founding member of the Ride Thru Times Chapter. I currently own 10 Ford Galaxies including the model years 1959, 1963, 1964 and 1966. The pride of my collection is my 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 fastback that was given to me by my father in 1982 at the age of 15. That car sparked a fire in me that still burns today! I was born in Mooresville, NC and grew up in Huntersville NC, but I'm currently a member of the US Air Force stationed at Shaw AFB, SC. I plan to someday settle somewhere near my wife's hometown of Spartanburg, SC and continue to make Ford Galaxies a common sight on Carolina roads! Here are a few pics of Galaxies throughout my lifetime...
