63 Galaxie 500XL 390 Convertible

Just purchased this vehicle. After waiting over 47 years to have one. I know the wheel base is 119inches and overall chassis is 209 inches but can anyone tell me the exact length of this vehicle from tip of front bumper to the back of rear bumper.
I may have a garage size issue to resolve before car gets here in two days.
Thanks for any help

I just went out and measured my 62.  Not exactly the same car, but same chassis from 61-64 and from the tip of the front bumper to the end of the back bumper is 209" so the # you hove looks to be accurate.

Thanks for the info. The previous owner messaged me that he told me 19 1/2 incorrectly it is 17 1/2 so I am good by 13 inches of clearance.

A big car in a small car garage, eh? Welcome to the world of old, full size cars!

Your right about that. It just came today and if I back it in just 3 inches from wall I can walk around it if I shuffle sideways. lol
