The car is badged incorrectly to be an XL and is a sedan unless someone was making a custom.

NOTE - A 57 FORD is not complete w/o 1964 XL front seats and console.

Need the BODY CODE off the PATENT PLATE.

Where is everyone seeing interior photos?

Thanks KULTULZ. Doesn't affect me too much but thanks for clearing that up for me.

Pictures are in my album. I was able to create it when I was trying to add pics to the thread

Question - Did Ford officially offer a 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 XL in the Two Door Sedan body style?

Thank you for clarifying. You and KULTULZ cleared it up for me. I checked info from purchase and it does not say XL anywhere in my messages with the seller. I typed XL but the car is not badged anywhere as an XL either. Error on my part

It's no problem, no foul.

Older (newer also) cars can be very complicated to identify. It's hard to say how many modifications were done in it's service life.

Here is a photo of the REVERSED SPRING SHACKLES SYNDROME so prevalent pre-1965 -

Now there were shackle kits available that would allow raising to accommodate such things as air bags, etc. for traction aide.
