1967 Ford Country Squire

I love that year.

 

All the 67 Fords were beautiful. The Mustang never looked better.

 

Beautiful car. It's not uncommon to have a vehicle that looks great from one angle, but not necessarily from another. This car, in my opinion, looks great no mater what angle it is viewed from.

It will be interesting to see what this one goes for.

 

Surprising it is a radio delete car. Seems strange. Overall it looks great.

It’s surprising these two have the 289. I know later on Ford usually put the next engine up in the wagons. I guess I’ve just seen a lot more 390 Squires. ‘67 is a wonderful year. Love the stack lights, and the big center knob on the steering wheel.

 

Same here.....
As a teenager in the mid-60's I always scouted out the dealer lots in late August - early to mid September, looking for the new models. I would make mental notes of how most of the dealer stock was equipped. For the full-sized Fords in '66/'67, the main motivation was the 390 V8 for the great bulk of Galaxie 500's, LTD's and wagons. Yes, there were some equipped with the 289's, and maybe some Custom 500's with a six in them, but the bread-and butter of the lineup mostly got the 390's - at least that's how it was in So Cal.

 

I was very fortunate growing up. We had a neighbor that was a big wig at the Mercury plant in St.Louis. He always just pulled a big Merc off the line to drive home. I know I drove him crazy trolling his driveway to see what he came home in. My recon really picked up in late August, early September. Mr. Randall always seemed to be at his kitchen window when I was doing my spying.

 

Same life different place. Babyboomer fortunate to grow up in the suburbs of Baltimore with many members of extended family nearby. My retired grandfather lived directly across boulevard from the Ewell Dodge satellite lot and picked up part time job as night watchman. Always let me and some friends have the look behind the fence when the new models came in. Can still remember when the 58s came out with quad headlights. Big deal for us 10 year olds. Made my grandmothers 54 Plymouth look ancient at 4 years old. Now a consider our 2016 Fusion a new car.

 

A few more Ford woodys...

How do I break this delicately..... your Grandma’s ‘54 Plymouth was looking a little long in the tooth by ‘56. Certainly by ‘57 it was like it was from another century....lol. My dad had a ‘54 Cranbrook, that thing by other ‘54’s looked ancient in the driveway.

 

Yep, although the 54 Chevy was kind of dowdy too. The Fords maybe a little less. My grandmothers 54 Plymouth was first made to look quite old by the totally restyled 55 / 56 body style which in turn was made to looked ancient by the 57 restyle. Three style generations in 4 years. In contrast, I cannot tell our 16 Fusion from a 17, 18 or 19 and probably 20 if they still make it. Have to use the key fob unlock to see what lights up in the parking lot just like everybody else.

 

Took my drivers test in my dad's 67 Ford Ranch Wagon. Parallel paring back then.
