I'll have to read that article when I get home tonight! The Comet was originally the same car as the Falcon and then changed to the midsize Fairlane in the mid-60's. I haven't seen a Galaxie on the road in at least a decade! I most definitely have not seen one on track. Chevys (and even Mopars) are so much cheaper to build, that's mostly what we see.
