For you Ford experts or trivia enthusiasts, our question of the day: What does "LTD" stand for? According to published sources, no one knows for sure. "The LTD designation is considered by some an abbreviation of "luxury trim decor" and by others as a limited trim designation for the Galaxie. There is evidence in early 1970s Australian LTD sales brochures that "Lincoln type design" was adapted by Ford's Australian marketing as the meaning of the LTD nameplate to play up Lincoln-like exclusitivity and design influence of its Falcon-based LTD luxury car since actual Lincoln models were not sold in that country. However there is no evidence of "Lincoln type design" ever being used in brochures or advertising copy of North American sales literature. The original Car Life review at the time the first Galaxie 500 LTD was released suggests that "LTD" stood for nothing and was ambiguous in meaning." Do you know?
