    A rusted rear bumper and no photos from the back raises some doubts.

    Interesting option wise. Intermittent wipers. Lockable storage unit and no AC. I get it’s Canada, but it does seem odd to me.

    First year for the LTD wagon was 1974. Looked like the Country Sedan, but had the nicer Squire interior. In '75, the LTD became the only full-sized, non-'wood' wagon in the lineup.

    For $2500 it's a good start to becoming a long roof collector.

    The "LTD Wagon" actually first appeared as a 73 1/2 model that was essentially a Country Squire without the exterior woodgrain, but did have an LTD grille. Country Sedans were trimmed as Galaxy 500's.

    I would like to find that quarter panel trim piece with the storage compartment.

    I too think it’s an interesting car. I just don’t get how people can’t kinda spiff up the paint with a deep wash and maybe a wax. Also the interior just is off putting. You can’t clean the mildew and dirt off the seats? With a wax job and some elbow grease on that interior he might get some more interest and maybe a few more bucks.
