Since theres a place in this forum for toys, I thought it would be interesting to see how many Ford wagons I could remember being made in miniature. I figured that Ford would be the most commonly seen wagon in any scale. Can anyone add to the list? Some of these are currently available while others have been out of production for decades. Model A woody wagon: Athearn makes 1/87 scale HO plastic in three colors, Jordan makes 1/87 scale plastic kit, Hubley made a G scale (1/22 scale metal kit), and I'm sure there are several 1/24 & 1/25 scale plastic kits as well. 40 Ford Deluxe Woody wagon: Hot Wheels 1/64 scale (S scale) diecast , Ertl 1/43 scale (O scale)diecast 46-48 Ford Woody wagon-Classic Metalworks die cast in HO scale (1/87 scale) and N scale (1/120 scale?), Yat Ming Road Legends 1/18 scale diecast (with real wood siding) 49-51 Ford woody wagon-Motor City Classics diecast 1/18 scale with real wood siding, Franklin or Danbury Mint 1/24 scale diecast with real wood siding, and I'm sure there are others including one thats about 1/72 scale and another thats about 1/43 scale and are sold to HO and O guage model railroad hobbiests) I'm sure others were made as well 52-52 Country Squire- Classic Metal Works Mini Metals diecast model in 1/87 scale (HO scale due out next winter) 55-59 Country Sedan-PMC made a 1/25 scale plastic promo model of each model year 56 Ranch wagon: Matchbox 1/72 scale 57 Country Squire:Revell 1/25 scale plastic kit, and Marx 1/87 scale (HO scale)plastic used for a load on an Auto Loader HO scale rail car for their line of electric trains. 59 Ranch wagon: Matchbox 1/72 scale 60-62 Ranch wagon: Hubley made plastic 1/24 scale promos of each model year.

Wow! That's some list. I have nothing relevant to add, other than I was, coincidentally, looking at this site: http://toyriffic.blogspot.com/2009/02/40-tail-wagon.html And he really likes wagons too!
I have a 1972 Ford Country Squire made by "Z-Toys". Its a matchbox size scale car, cream with painted wood sides. I know there was a 1975-1978 Ford Country Squire wagon in yellow made by the same company. Even has a swing out rear tail gate. However, they are hard to find. When I see them on Evil Bay, they go for some big bucks.
There is a 1/24th scale resin kit of a 1970 Ford Country Squire or Country Sedan you can get from Modelhaus. http://public.fotki.com/MrObsessive/kit-reviews-1/modelhaus-1970-ford/eaa73.html I got the Country Squire model, I just have not built it yet (waiting for winter). Its a clean kit. I also bought a '73 Chevrolet Kingswood Estate wagon from them, I'm building it as the wagon used in "Dying Room Only" movie from 1973.
