GALAXIELAND, started in the beginning, as Galaxieland Southeast. Back then, we were the 7th chapter, of the FORD GALAXIE CLUB OF AMERICA, to be formed. The planning began in  1998. As my car was nearing it's 7 year of restoration, and nearing completion, I began to inquire with the FGCOA, as how to get a chapter started. The other 6 chapters of this 17 year old national club, covered from the midwest, to the west, and northwest of the USA. In June of 2000, we began contacting other FGCOA members in our area, about starting our own chapter in the east. In the next year, it was finalized, with our first meet held November. With 34 Galaxie owners signing up at that very first, regional meet. Galaxieland Southeast was underway. Because no other chapter existed in the east, we, blanketed all the southeastern states, and contacted members from every southeastern state, for our next national meet. Mailers and phone calls went out, to every  FGCOA member listed, on the national club registry. It worked. We began getting interest from club members, from all over the southeast.. even some, whom had let their national membership expire, mainly, due to lack of east coast participation. Not long after that, another chapter, Carolina Galaxies, was formed. Once they began, we deminished the circulation that far, of our event information.  As our 5th year began, we realized, our "blanket" name of Galaxieland Southeast, could be "smothering" the possibility of more chapters forming, especially, in our OWN state. The decision was made, in a foward motion, to improve FGCOA chapter organization in the southeast, to drop the southeast name from our chapter title. Now, we are known as GALAXIELAND. Some of our original members STILL, are in our chapter, even though they began also, as members of the new chapters. The "blanket" was lifted, because in 2006, a third chapter was formed here, in the southeast. ..Atlanta Galaxies. We, here at GALAXIELAND, are proud to be part of a growing NATIONAL car club, that, by far, surpasses, an Anytown, USA, weekend, hump night, or any other car click event. Because we try to get together, as a chapter, twice a year for an "official regional" meet somewhere, this makes it an absolute joy, to look foward to our next event.. and each time we do, we meet a new national member, and get to see a different car or two, as we expand through out the year. Not to mention the friends you make, and then look forward to seeing them, again, as well. Even, at a small car show some where, in some town, when you see a Galaxie, it is only natural to think to yourself... "Do I know those people?..", "..who's Galaxie is THIS?.." , ".. I have never seen that car before..". You have to be a true Galaxie lover, to understand this. For those of you, who have just purchased a GALAXIE, or LTD, or are looking at one, and thinking about it.. check out a chapter in your area. You can find them at our national club website, www.galaxieclub.com . We eventally, will have that information linked here. If there is not a chapter in your area, then think about forming one. You, and for the most parts, your family, will enjoy the events, and people as well... you do not know what you are missing. We will be placing photos of the beginning of our chapter on this page, in the near future. Please visit us again here, and thank you, for visiting Galaxieland.
