Default Origin of Ford's "500" trim level?

Can anyone shed any light on this?


All I've managed to conjure up, is references to the required numbers of cars built to be homologated for NASCAR racing, or the distances covered in races. BEcause, as far as i know, the Galaxie was the first model to use the 500 tag...and the Galaxie was Fords NASCAR entrant...

I then believe was appropriated as a trim level on other models...
