    Allow myself to introduce...myself. My name is Ryan. I live in Renton, WA. I have always been on the Ford truck spectrum, but I have a few more passengers to lug around now, so it's time for a Ranch Wagon.

    Specifically, I want to find a 1964 Ford Ranch Wagon. Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum, Ryan. Pleased to meet your acquaintance....

    How about a '64 Country Squire, instead. Ready to go for you, and only at the price of a slightly used SUV......

    .........................................................................................................................
    Also....
    '89 Ford Crown Victoria wagon (like a modern Country Squire, but w/o the 'wood') Needs a bit of work, but only $2,500. In Kelso, WA.

    Sorry - I was unable to find any '64 Ranch Wagons for sale right now.
    Good Luck with your search.

    Thank you for the welcome Marshall! I only wish I could afford that Country Squire. The '89 Victoria, however, is very tempting and practical...

    I'm neither a Ford fan nor a low profile tire fan, but damn, that Country Squire looks sweet!

    Thanks for posting the link! I wish it were a little closer...and a little bit cheaper.

    True for '63 and '64 (How did I miss THAT?), but Ford brought back the full-sized Ranch Wagon for '65

    (Lower right corner of brochure page..)

    You are not alone. I see you have a fridge as your avatar. Is that your truck?
