The Ford Country Squire was a fixture in American suburbs for over 40 years, serving as the brand's premium, full-size station wagon from 1950 to 1991. Known for its signature wood-grain vinyl side paneling and cavernous interior, it was the definitive family vehicle for generations. Early models shared styling with Ford's main passenger car lines, while later versions based on the LTD and Crown Victoria platforms grew into massive land yachts powered by V8 engines.
Collectors are drawn to the Country Squire's deep nostalgic value and iconic 'woody' styling. It represents a classic piece of Americana, evoking images of family road trips and a bygone era. Wagons from the 1960s are particularly sought after for their distinctive styling and powerful FE-series V8 options. Models from 1966 onward featuring the innovative two-way 'Magic Doorgate' are also a popular feature.
Buying Tips
- Check the Di-Noc woodgrain vinyl for fading, cracking, and peeling. It's expensive to replace, and its condition is critical to the car's value.
- Inspect the floors, rear quarter panels, and tailgate area for rust. These large bodies can trap moisture, leading to significant corrosion.
- Test the 'Magic Doorgate' on 1966 and newer models. The mechanism that allows it to swing open or fold down is complex and can be difficult to repair.
- Look for a well-preserved interior. Decades of family use mean cracked dashboards, torn seats, and worn headliners are common issues, and sourcing correct materials can be a challenge.
- Most examples use a V8 engine. Check for common oil leaks and ensure the C4 or C6 automatic transmission shifts smoothly, as they were often worked hard.
