The first thing you notice isn’t the car — it’s the family. Lucas Freeman leans on the fender of his ’65 Ford Galaxie, kids Elianna (4) and Fletcher (2) orbiting around him like they own the place. The Galaxie wears its age honestly, a layer of sun-baked Kentucky patina that looks right at home among the shiny paint jobs at Ford Fest.
Lucas is from Scottsville, just thirty minutes over the hill from Beech Bend Raceway, so this wasn’t a cross-country trek — but don’t mistake this for a “car show only” cruiser. “I’ve probably done at least 20,000 this year,” Lucas said, matter-of-factly. “It’s basically my daily driver.”
The Galaxie started life with a 352, but when that engine started to feel tired, Lucas decided it was time for an upgrade. “I put a 390 in it. Added bug racks, gave it a little flare, and left the original paint.”
Under the hood sits a four-barrel Holley carburetor — nothing fancy, just the kind of bolt-on that keeps an old Ford happily fed. “Big fan of the four-barrel Holley,” Lucas said. “It just works.”
