Considered the most advanced portables of their time, the Smith-Corona series 6 “Galaxie” design machines featured a pivoting hood and the boxy, angular lines of automobiles made in the 60’s and 70’s. Galaxie, Galaxie II, Galaxie Deluxe, Sterling, Classic 12, and Riviera are among some of the models in this series, each with its own set of special features.
The typewriter mechanism itself is nearly the same as its famed predecessor (series 5); preferred by that actor guy, you know, he’s been in lots of stuff…. It has a smooth, fast action, they keys cradle your fingertips and their layout is about as close to the modern keyboard as it gets.
