In 2011, Yang's daughter, Naomi Yang, of the band Galaxie 500, said that the band used the image without permission or payment to her father.

Earlier acts such as Galaxie 500 and American Music Club were hugely influential but are not generally considered slowcore acts.

The only full-size models to see permanent reductions in sales were the lower price models ; such as the Chevrolet Impala, and Ford Galaxie 500.

During the Ford Division's early 1960s " Total Performance " era, Mercury produced some equivalent models, such as the full-size S-55 and the Marauder, which shared the same body styles and mechanics as the Ford Galaxie 500 / XL sports models.

The list of singers on Wasps ' Nests includes many notable mid-90s indie-rockers, including Barbara Manning, Mary Timony, Dean Wareham ( Galaxie 500, Luna, Dean & Britta ), Lou Barlow, Chris Knox ( Tall Dwarfs ), Robert Scott ( The Bats, The Clean ), and Mark Robinson.

Galaxie 500 was an American alternative rock band that formed in 1987 and split up in 1991 after releasing three albums.

When he returned in 1987 he and Krukowski formed a new band, with Yang joining the group on bass guitar, the new group deciding on the name Galaxie 500, after a friend's car ( a Ford car of the 1960s, the Ford Galaxie 500 ).

Galaxie 500 recorded two sessions for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 programme, these later released on the Peel Sessions album.

Galaxie 500 used fairly simple instrumental techniques enhanced with an atmospheric production style.

In interviews on the Galaxie 500 DVD Don't Let Our Youth Go to Waste, Wareham cites Spacemen 3 as another key inspiration.

After leaving Galaxie 500, Wareham tried his hand at production, working with Mercury Rev.

In June 2010 Dean Wareham announced on his website that he would be going on an autumn tour under the moniker " Dean Wareham plays Galaxie 500 ," where he would, as the moniker suggests, only play Galaxie 500 songs.

In Liz Phair's song " Stratford-on-Guy ", she sings, " And I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video.

In 1962, all full-size Fords wore the Galaxie badge, with " 500 " and " 500 / XL " denoting the higher series.

The full-size line got a new bucket-seats-and-console " Lively One ," the Galaxie 500 / XL ( two-door hardtop and convertible ).

The SportsRoof was available in both Galaxie 500, and Galaxie 500 / XL trim.

The Country Squire was based on the Custom DeLuxe series in 1951, the Crestline from 1952 to 1954, the Fairlane from 1955 through 1958, Galaxie 1959 through 1966, and the LTD / LTD Crown Victoria from 1967 through 1991.

Luna was a dream pop / indie pop band formed in 1991 by Dean Wareham after the breakup of Galaxie 500, with Stanley Demeski and Justin Harwood ( Demeski formerly of The Feelies and Harwood formerly of New Zealand band The Chills ).

The rear taillight / bumper assembly was copied directly ( with revisions ) from a 1958 Ford styling study called the " La Galaxie ".

The Galaxie 500 part was dropped from the LTD in 1966, and from the XL in 1967 ; however the basic series structuring levels were maintained.

The " regular " Galaxie 500 continued below the LTD as Ford's mid-level full-size model from 1965 until its demise at the end of the 1974 model year.

A version of the car was also produced in Brazil under the names Galaxie 500, LTD and Landau from 1967 to 1983.

The new top-of-the-line designation this year was the Galaxie 500 LTD. Engine choices were the same as 1964, except for an all-new six-cylinder and 1965 engine replacing the 50s-era 223 " Mileage-Maker " six and the 352 being equipped with dual exhausts and a four-barrel carburetor.

The 1967 LTD dropped the Galaxie name, a harbinger of changes to come.

For the 1969 model year the Ranch Wagon became the Custom Ranch Wagon, the Country Sedan the Galaxie Country Sedan and the Country Squire was marketed as the LTD Country Squire.

With the Galaxie soon to be discontinued, the Country Squire was integrated into the LTD lineup.

The LTD debuted as the highest trim level on the 1965 full-size Ford range under the name Galaxie 500 LTD and became its own series for the first time in 1966.

The LTD designation is considered by some an abbreviation of " Luxury Trim Decor " and by others as a limited body style classification for the Galaxie.

The Ford Galaxie 500 LTD was introduced in 1965, and prompted the Chevrolet Caprice mid-year and the similar Dodge Monaco and Polara.

In 1967, the LTD product line became separate from the Galaxie, which became the mid-line offering.

From 1969 to 1970, the LTD shared top-of-the line trim pieces featuring a grille with hidden headlamps ; these were shared with the Galaxie XL sport coupe and the Country Squire station wagon.

While the redesign brought the LTD closer to the Mercury Marquis in styling, it was now separated from the Galaxie, which was discontinued after 1974.

The Galaxie nameplate was discontinued after 1974, leaving the Custom 500 as the base-trim full-size Ford, then LTD, LTD Brougham, and the new LTD Landau at the top of the series for the 1975 model year.

The Custom 500 nameplate represented a slightly better trimmed version of the low-priced, economy models of Ford's full-sized car range, which also included the Ford Galaxie 500 and LTD.

* 1969 – 1976 Ford Galaxie 500 and LTD

The locally assembled Galaxie evolved into the LTD which was itself replaced in 1973 by an Australian developed, Fairlane-based model, also known as the Ford LTD.
