Separate names with a comma.
Surprisingly, up until a few years ago, these were not overly rare -- especially for a one year only model, and they were quite reasonable in...
Decals for the surround rails were not available from Ford as a service part. You had to buy the whole rail. An alternative to decals or vinyl...
You're correct. I never noticed before. Brochures show that in both '71 and '72 Ford offered the 4 door pillared hardtop in the LTD and LTD...
My guess is that all the 4.9/5.0 L engines -- at least the pre-port injected ones -- were short on torque for full sized wagons.
I think they were actually aluminum. The "wrap" was a decal. At least in '69 & '70, this wasn't available separately as a service part. You...
Ford referred to the four doors as "pillared hardtops". It sounds better than "frameless door glass sedans". The y had their disadvantages --...
I believe the Country Squire name was introduced midway through the 1950 model year, perhaps coinciding with the introduction of the fold down...
Also on ebay. Car has a lot of problems, as does the description. I've read it over several times, and I'm still not sure about the exterior...
Looks like a fair amount of work done, but it hardly constitutes "restoration". If 146K miles is accurate, I'd expect the 400 to be getting a bit...
I think I got the transfer for my '70 from Stripeman, but it's been 15 years, so I can't remember for certain. I do remember that it is very...
The brochures online can be deceiving. The way the actual grain of the transfer shows up can look like the plank lines. None of the Gran Torino...
Still, it does beg the question: was there such a thing? How many wagons with the police package did Ford sell from '73 to '78, and how many big...
Exactly right about the tailgate emblems. Landau emblems on '75 & '76, no emblems at all on '77 & '78. The one on this car appears to be the '74...
It's also "missing" the 460, although by '77 the 400 had regained enough power and torque to make it a more than tolerable powerplant even for a...
What must it cost to run a car like this in Germany? Note also the non-authentic woodgrain.
Seconded! Did you notice that they classified this as a full-size car? I wonder how they'd classify a Country Squire.
Matchbox issued a similar '77 Cougar wagon sans dog under the same number, but different series. As to the 390 vs. 289, it could have had the 240...
The fader on the '70 was a small knob protruding from the bottom of dash on the left. It's very inconspicuous; it probably wouldn't show up in...
1967 Mercury Meteor | eBay [IMG] I can't find any reference to a woodgrain version/option in the '67 Meteor brochure, and it seems unlikely that...
$31,900? I've seen asking prices for these north of $80K.
