2021 Ford Country Squire

I appreciate the effort, but feel they missed the mark by not calling it a Ranch Wagon. Country Squires were four doors. . . .

Good point! The current problem is that everyone loves 4 doors.

CTS Sport wagon... They sold about 7k of them over 5 year production, not a bad run for a hot rod family wagon... Still like the 2 door styling better.

I'm seeing some first generation Monte Carlo with 1972 Chevelle turn signals beside those 1971 Chevelle headlights. It took my quite some time to figure out the fender "vents" and I think the closest I can get to those would probably be the C3 Corvette but stacked instead.

Don't forget the GTO "Judge" side stripes...

Yep. The Mustang wagon, Camaro wagon, Firebird wagon, Corvette wagon...all interesting, and yet somehow, kind of hard to look at.

Well, sort of. The Country Squire was originally a 2-door wagon in '50 and '51. After that, as far as I recall, all of them were 4-door wagons.

I took my driving test in my Mom's 1976 Country Squire wagon. Green with brown simulated paneling and a big block. You should've seen me parallel park that land yacht like a boss!

In the spirit of "one-upmanship"... A 1987 F-350 Crew Cab Dually is what I took my drivers test in...

Oh, hell yeah!!!

Oh, hell yeah!!!

Parallel parking that monster was an adventure in depth perception!! I attribute my ability to drive pretty much anything with a steering wheel or a joy stick to those days leading up to that test!! From a 16M Cat Grader to a 930e Komatsu Haul truck.

I'll allow it. Carry on.

I owned a white '62, and a 4-door '61. Here's my buddy's '61 under construction. It's got a 401 tunnel-rammed dual quad set-up, backed by a 4-spd and a Ford 9" rear end. Good stuff, Maynard!

Anybody from the 70's not want to drive this?

I'm from the 80s, but that still reminds me of my mom's old station wagon, lol!

Well, except that thing is even uglier. It's like they took the terrible brown and yellowish tones from the old wood panelling and smeared them across as if they were somehow more modern looking without the faux wood grain look.

Growing up we had the Vista Cruiser wagon like this:

Man, I can feel the boat-like sway from turning corners by just looking at that thing.
