Wowser! That's a beautiful wagon. I'd like to know a bit more on how the wood grain was re-done (and who did it..).
The car came out of California as I mentioned yesterday. The vinyl wrap was done when the car was repainted. Vinyl wraps are simple and the wood grain patten can be reproduced very easily via a large format printer. We have one here at the sign shop and have done wood grain patterns for cars before. The trick is in the application. This car looks very well done. If anyone in the Willamette Valley wants someone to produce and apply wood grain for their wagon, please give Mark Adams at Supervinyl a call. 503-588-1990. We love wagons and know our stuff.
Years ago (1970),my '56 Squire was quite similar inside (same colors as shown here, inside and out). I felt lucky to have the 3rd seat. It was hanging in the owner's garage (2 pieces). They are easily removable and often turn up missing, unless you spend all your time hauling your eight kids around.
Thanks Jairus. The inside photos are as nice as outside. Love that wagon. :2_thumbs_up_-_anima Attention---------- unless you spend all your time hauling your eight kids around. With eight kids a person needs to spend more time riding around in a station wagon!
I just drove our 59 convertible to the new shop today. It's not nearly as nice as this wagon, but a joy non the less. The interior on this wagon is beautiful and has provided some much needed inspiration for our car when it goes to the upholstery shop in the next couple of weeks.
Coincidental someone on a Dutch carforum (autoweek[dot]nl) posted this 1959 Country Squire: They aren't that rare: we even have them here in The Netherlands! Licensplateregistrationsite vwe[dot]nl learns that this car is here since 1974 although the plate "says" newly delivered in The Netherlands. Dutch plates are related to age not to state, person or what so ever and stays with the car its entire live..... Here is another picture. "Stolen" from the www:
FYI, Marc - The black one's you posted (without wood, but with the nice chrome molding along most of the side) would be a Country SEDAN. If you had a base model, without that nice molding, it would be called a Ranch Wagon. Here's a link to the complete '59 Ford brochure, so you get an idea.... http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/ford/59ford/59ford.html Marshall
Thanks for the information! It is indeed registered as a Country Sedan here in Holland. Learning every day, haha.......
