Sold only as part of the full-size product range, the Country Squire was marketed as the premium station wagon of the Ford division, distinguished by its wood-grain body trim. As of the 2017 model year, the Country Squire remains the third-longest used car nameplate by Ford in North America (41 years), behind only the (46 years) and (53 years, in production). As part of the full-size Ford model line, the Ford Country Squire would be paired with several Ford models over its production run. During its first two generations, the Country Squire was based upon the (and the that replaced it). From 1955 to 1968, station wagons were a separate model line from Ford sedans, though the Country Squire shared its interior trim with the (and the that replaced it).

For 1969, as station wagons were consolidated with Ford sedans, the Country Squire became part of the model line. As the LTD became the in 1983, the LTD Country Squire remained a full-size station wagon through the 1991 model year. Following the demise of the Edsel division, Ford and Mercury consolidated much of their exterior bodywork to streamline production. From 1961 to 1991, the became the Lincoln-Mercury counterpart of the Ford Country Squire.

As of 2017, Ford does not sell a sedan-based station wagon in North America. Contents. Woodgrain trim Although all Ford Country Squires feature wood-grain body trim, only the first-generation 1950-1951 versions are true '. To reduce the production cost of station wagons, for 1952, Ford replaced wooden body construction with an all-steel body. Subsequently, exterior body trim consisted of simulated woodgrain (with varying degrees of coverage on the body). The genuine wood body panels were manufactured at the in the from lumber owned by Ford Motor Company.

During the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s, other variations of the Squire name would be used on other Ford wood-grained station wagons, including the Falcon, Fairlane, Torino, Pinto, Grand Torino, LTD II, Fairmont, Escort, Granada and mid-size LTD (the last to use the Squire name). First generation (1950–1951). 226 cu in (3.7 L) I6. 239 cu in (3.9 L) V8 Dimensions 114 in (2,896 mm) The 1950 Ford model range included a station wagon which, at the time of its introduction, was marketed as part of the top-line Custom Deluxe trim. In the following spring, Ford began promoting the wagon as the Country Squire, although that name did not appear anywhere on the car. Along with the name change came the addition of a fold-down middle-row seat. Following the rest of the Ford lineup, the Country Squire was available with a standard 226 cid inline six-cylinder engine as or an optional V-8.

The first generation Country Squire was the beginning of the end of the full '. The whole body was made of steel, unlike the Ford wagons up to 1948 that were all wood from the cowl back except for the rear fenders. Real wood attached to the steel body on the doors, sides and tailgate of the 1949 thru 1951 models, and Ford did not offer a woodless version. The interiors were all paneled in wood also. GM would later introduce a two-door station wagon in 1955 called the and. 239 cu in (3.9 L) V8. 239 cu in (3.9 L) V8 Dimensions 115 in (2,921 mm) In 1952, Ford expanded station wagons into a lineup separate from its newly redesigned sedans.

The Country Squire was the top model, now available solely in a four-door configuration; it was the wagon counterpart of the series. Joining the Squire were the four-door Country Sedan and the two-door. The 239 Strato-Star V-8 was the only engine offered in the 1952 Country Squire. Unlike its predecessor, the 1952 Country Squire no longer was a true woodie; like the Country Sedan, it wore a full steel body. The woodgrain finish was now constructed by woodgrain transfers edged in real wood trim on the sides and tailgate.The real wood trim was discontinued halfway thru the 1953 model run and replaced with fiberglass trim with a woodgrain finish.

1955 Ford Country Squire For the 1955 model year, Ford station wagons became a separate model range from the sedans, coupes, and convertibles. The woodgrained Country Squire was the top-of-the-line model, trimmed similar to the Fairlane. For the first time, all wood trim was simulated with vinyl decals. Sharing a common wheelbase with the rest of the Ford model line, the Country Squire saw little visible change from 1955 to 1956.

For 1956, a 12-volt electrical system became standard equipment. The package became a new option for 1956, with few takers. For 1957, the Ford model line grew longer and lower as part of a major redesign; a major factor of the new chassis was the upcoming introduction of the Edsel line for 1958. The Country Squire body and interior would be used for the production of the non-woodgrain and the top-trim (distinguished by its combination of woodgrain sides and two-tone paint). For 1959, after only 2,235 were produced, the Edsel Bermuda was dropped, trimming the division's range solely to the Villager. However, in a movement to stay competitive with other manufacturers, all 1959 Fords were lengthened; the wheelbase was increased from 116 to 118 inches.

Following the change in the sedan line, the Country Squire was trimmed similar to the newly introduced. In Australia, where the Ford model lineup began local production in 1959, the 1959 body style used for only one year in the US and Canada, the Country Sedan was sold until 1962. The Country Squire was never sold in Australia. This generation is referred to locally as 'Tank Fords' because of their size (in comparison to the sold at the same time). 1960 Ford Country Squire Overview 1960–1964 Body and chassis 4-door Related While again remaining a separate line for 1960, the Country Squire became the companion model to the newly introduced. With the discontinuation of Edsel and the impending downsizing of the Lincoln line, all full-sized Mercurys adopted Ford bodies by 1961, the counterpart of the Country Squire was the. Prior to 1961, all Ford wagons used a two-piece tailgate assembly that required the operator to lift the rear window up and locking it into place via a mechanical support, and then drop the tail gate down to fully access the rear compartment.

For 1961, Ford introduced a redesigned tailgate assembly using a self-storing window feature which could either be rolled down into the gate via crank on the outside of the gate, or by an electrical motor actuated by the key or an interior switch. A safety lockout measure required that the rear window had to be fully retracted into the tailgate before the tailgate could be lowered. 1967 Ford Country Squire Overview Also called Ford Country Sedan Production 1965–1968 Body and chassis 4-door Related Powertrain 3-speed Borg-Warner T150 manual 4-speed Borg-Warner T85 overdrive manual 3-speed automatic Dimensions 119.0 in (3,020 mm) Length 210.0 in (5,330 mm) Width 77.4 in (1,970 mm) Height 56.7 in (1,440 mm) 4,277 lb (1,940 kg) For the 1965 model year, the chassis of the full-size Ford line was completely redesigned. The leaf-spring rear suspension was replaced with a three-link coil-spring layout; in various forms, this design would remain in use in full-size rear-wheel drive Fords until the discontinuation of the Crown Victoria over 45 years later.

In addition, the long-running 'valet key' made its debut for 1965. During this generation, a number of running changes were made to accommodate changing federal safety regulations. For 1966, seat belts became standard equipment for all seats (front and rear). For 1967, the changes were more extensive, as the Country Squire redesigned the steering wheel (with a large, padded hub in the center) fitted to an energy-absorbing steering column, 28 padded interior surfaces, recessed controls on the instrument panel, and front outboard shoulder belt anchors. To ensure that the 4300-lb Country Squire would not be the victim of brake failure, another mandate required the introduction of a dual-chamber master cylinder (on the Country Squire and all other 1968 vehicles). This generation introduced covered headlights, which were deployed using a vacuum canister system that kept the doors down when a vacuum condition existed in the lines, provided by the engine when it was running.

If a loss of vacuum occurred, the doors would retract up so that the headlights were visible if the system should fail. In 1966, all Ford wagons introduced the Magic Doorgate, engineered by, which allowed the tailgate to flip down like a traditional tailgate or to open to the side as a swinging door. The Magic Doorgate was made possible through use of a traditional stationary hinge on the right, and combination of hinges along the door's left side which carried the weight of the gate as it swung outward when used as a door. The rear window had to be retracted into the door before it would open to the side, or fold down. 1973 Ford LTD Country Squire Overview 1969–1978 Assembly Body and chassis 4-door Related Powertrain 302 cu in (4.9 L) V8 351 cu in (5.8 L) V8 390 cu in (6.4 L) V8 429 cu in (7.0 L) V8 400 cu in (6.6 L) V8 460 cu in (7.5 L) 385 V8 351 cu in (5.8 L) V8 3-speed manual 3-speed automatic 3-speed automatic Dimensions 121.0 in (3,073 mm) Length 225.7 in (5,733 mm) (1973-1978) For the 1969 model year, Ford ended its practice of distinct model lines for station wagons and sedans.

Alongside the Ranch Wagon and Country Sedan, the Country Squire were integrated into the three-model full-size Ford car lineup. Remaining at the top of the range, the Country Squire became part of the LTD lineup, gaining the prefix of that model. Approximately 7,850,000 full-size Fords and Mercurys were sold over 1969-78. This makes it the second best selling Ford after the. 1969–1972. 1970 Ford LTD Country Squire For the 1969 model year, a new generation of Ford and Mercury cars made their debut; station wagons for both divisions rode on a 121-inch wheelbase shared with the Ford sedan line, a gain of two inches. The 'Magic Doorgate' tailgate was updated to a 3-way design: it could now swing down as a tailgate or swing out with the window down or up (the latter was previously not possible).

As part of the LTD line, the Country Squire wore similar interior trim; with the obvious exception of its simulated woodgrain paneling, Country Squires wore the same bodywork from the windshield forward as their LTD sedan counterparts. For the 1970 model year, visible changes were limited to detail changes in bumper and grille trim. In 1971, the Country Squire would be given an extensive facelift (with only the roof and tailgate carried over from the 1970 model); as with the LTD, it would lose its hidden headlamps in the grille. Initially, the standard engine was a 302 cubic-inch V8, replaced by a 351 cubic-inch V8 midway through the 1969 model year. As with its LTD counterpart, the 390 and 429 V8 engines were options. In 1971, the 390 V8 was replaced by a 402 cubic-inch V8 (though sold as a 400). For a variety of reasons, 1972 saw a major decrease in powertrain output.

That year, gross horsepower was replaced by SAE net horsepower. The addition of emissions controls and adoption of unleaded fuel required lowered compression ratios and retarded ignition timing. In one example, the range-topping 429 V8 would see its output drop from 365 hp to 212 hp from 1971 to 1972. In 1972, the 429 was joined by a 224-hp 460 cubic-inch V8 seen previously in the Lincoln lineup. Production figures:. 1969: 129,235.

1970: 108,914. 1971: 130,644. 1972: 121,419 1973–1978.

1978 Ford LTD Country Squire For the 1973 model year, the Ford full-size car line was given a major update. While still built on the same chassis and 121-inch wheelbase, the addition of would add over six inches in length to the LTD Country Squire by the end of the 1974 model year. These would also be the longest and heaviest station wagons ever produced by Ford. For 1974, 5-mph bumpers were added to the rear, a transistorized ignition system was introduced, as well as a new hood ornament. In addition, the 429 was dropped, largely replaced by the essentially identical 460 V8.

For 1975, Ford began to pare down its wagon lineup as the Custom 500 Ranch Wagon was relegated exclusively to fleet sales and the Galaxie Country Sedan was discontinued, replaced by a non-woodgrain LTD wagon. To better distinguish the LTD Country Squire, Ford returned hidden headlamps to the model, a feature associated with top-line LTD Landau (and Mercury Marquis) models. In all models, were now standard equipment to comply with emissions regulations.

1975-1978 models were nearly identical except for small differences in trim and emblems from year to year. As a move to increase fuel economy, the 351 cubic-inch V8 was reintroduced for 1978. The standard engine on all other full-size Ford sedans and wagons was the 351 Windsor V8.

The Country Squire however, came standard with the Cleveland 400M V8, while the 429 and 460 V8s were optional. With manual transmissions being dropped from the lineup, the C6 3-speed automatic transmission was now the only transmission option for full-size Fords. The 429 and 460 V8s were a common option due to the especially sluggish performance of the detuned 400 engine that was now struggling to drive the ever-increasing weight of a Country Squire. 1987 LTD Crown Victoria Country Squire In 1979, Ford became the last American automaker to downsize its full-size car lines. While Chrysler would abandon its full-size wagons until the introduction of the in 2005, the LTD Country Squire would take on an entirely new form as the company responded to the introduction of the smaller Chevrolet Caprice and Pontiac Safari wagons.

Eleven inches shorter and nearly 1000 pounds lighter than its 1978 predecessor, the redesigned Country Squire retained its 8-passenger seating capability with only slightly reduced cargo capacity. The big-block 400 and 460 cubic-inch V8s were not included in the redesign, leaving the Country Squire with the 302 cubic inch (4.9 liters, but badged as a 5.0 liter) Ford Windsor V8 engine. The 1980s saw relatively few changes to the Country Squire. In 1983 the carbureted engine was replaced with throttle body fuel injection.

For the 1986 Model year, Ford went to sequential multi-port fuel injection which is identifiable by the large intake with the EFI 5.0 badge on top. In 1988, coinciding with the facelift of its LTD Crown Victoria counterpart, the Country Squire received a new front clip. Inside, new front seats with larger head restraints were added. For 1990 and 1991, the dashboard was updated (for the first time since 1979) with the addition of a driver's side airbag; the outboard rear seats received 3-point seatbelts. 1988-1991 Country Squire During the mid-1980s, sales of full-size station wagons began to decline, following the introduction of the and the Ford Aerostar. By 1991, the Country Squire was the slowest-selling Ford vehicle in North America, with less than 4,000 produced.

For 1992, as Ford redesigned its Ford and Mercury full-size vehicles, the station wagon body style was not included in the redesign. General Motors redesigned its B-platform station wagons for 1991, which were poorly received in the marketplace. At Ford, the role of the 8-passenger station wagon was passed onto the Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable; redesigned alongside the Crown Victoria for 1992, the Ford Taurus became the best-selling car in the United States. Functionally, the role of the family towing vehicle in the Ford product line was split between the Aerostar (and the larger Ford Club Wagon) as well as the then-new Ford Explorer (as buyers began to shift towards SUVs). 1979–1991 Production Figures Year 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 Total Units† LTD Country Squire: 29,932 LTD Country Squire: 9,868 7 LTD Country Squire:9,443 LTD Country Squire: 9,626 (9,294) 20,343 30,803 30,825 20,164 17,562 14,940 13,362 6,419 3,865 221,017 Non-woodgrain:37,955 Non-woodgrain:11,718 Non-woodgrain:10,554 Non-woodgrain: 9,294 †non-woodgrain LTD Crown Victoria and Country Squire wagons counted as one total starting in 1983 ††286,673 units total, including non-woodgrain wagons produced 1979–1982. Unique options and features With certain versions of the Country Squire one could install an AM/FM-Cassette stereo with a combined and fully integrated Citizens' Band (CB) two-way radio, and replacement dual-purpose automatic antenna (with only one visible difference that the aerial mast was a larger diameter, and black-band at approximately half-way up). The radio would then have the appearance of an original equipment, factory radio.

Optional were opposing side-facing rear seats, which could be folded down to make a durable cargo surface. Available for use with the side-facing rear seats was a folding table with integrated magnetic checkers board. Magnets under the plastic checkers pieces would keep them from sliding on the board while the vehicle was in motion. Behind a rear fender well was a hidden, lockable compartment, not visible when the rear seat back was in the upright position., and would adopt a similar configuration by the end of the 1960s. An advanced version of this was the which permitted opening the door sideways with the window up. References.
