PICS: Here's a relatively rare Ford - a '69 Galaxie XL GT Convertible.....
That looks a bit gaudy in its stock form but, I think, nicer with some changes.

This is one of the rare cars of any size that looks better at stock height, in my humble opinion.
Enjoy!

I'll buy this from you, Tell as long as the white painted accents get the push.

Stock for me as usual. I had a 69 LTD and loved it. Great highway car.

Can you change the wheels? Those just don’t look right.

Don't care for the lowered look, like the de-chromed look but by law you need a rear view mirror not chrome, body color maybe.

PIC: Here's the car without the white accents.
Seems to lose a bit of its swagger, without them.

Not sure that a side view mirror is required in all states, but give me a break.....
These are just design studies. I photo edit them just to see what they look like with few or no accessories.

Given the angle of the photo, it's pretty difficult to change the wheels....
to give an accurate view. I'll play some, just to see if I can do it.
