Vehicle Description
This 1951 Ford Country Squire woody wagon is a full custom build
with a cool style, custom interior, an upgraded suspension,
four-wheel disc brakes, overdrive transmission, and fuel-injected
power. It all goes to prove that you can have a true custom classic
that's also great for modern cruising.
Ford made a lot of cars in 1951 because their post-WWII design was
absolutely stylish. But the Country Squires are a truly rare treat
because they were one of the most expensive Ford on the books. So
that makes this an awesome place to start for a custom machine.
They really took their time making this into something both vintage
and unique. It has the best classic custom elements, including
frenched headlights, dual spotlights, mirror-like bumpers, deleted
door handles, custom LED taillights, and modern 17-inch alloys.
They shaved the badging to make the body sleeker and then dipped it
in Midnight Emerald Green Mica that's pure smooth sophistication.
But of course, your favorite piece is going to be all that lumber.
It's a professional setup from Rick Mack Enterprises utilizing
maple and mahogany. So you know this woody has some seriously
impressive wood.
The real wood returns inside, but it's the stylish tan leather that
really takes center stage here. It's on a well-coordinated two-tone
that starts on the seats and matches the door panels, carpeting,
and headliner. It's easy to get comfortable with a power driver's
seat and tilt steering column. There's also power windows and
provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow
cold again.) It's a thoughtful build where they laid down Dynamat
for the whole interior before the carpeting and panels went in. And
you have cool pieces everywhere from the custom mahogany center
console to the coco-style mats that are even in the rear cargo
area.
This is a classic Ford, and so you have proper blue oval power
under the hood. In fact, just about every enthusiast will recognize
the polished intake of Ford's 5.0-liter fuel-injected V8. It's a
tidy setup everywhere from the smooth inner walls to the polished
alternator. And you'll spot great supporting components, like the
Tru Trac serpentine belt system and an aluminum radiator w/electric
fan. It fires up readily as a proper FI machine should, and the SVO
headers add power and rumble to the dual exhaust. Plus, the
transmission has been upgraded to a four-speed automatic with
highway-friendly overdrive. You also have a Fatman Mustang II style
front end, front adjustable coilovers, power steering, and Baer
four-wheel power disc brakes.
The sale comes complete with restoration photos and $$$$$ in build
receipts. This is the kind of wagon that's great for everything
from local awards to a full Power Tour run. Yes, it's that
versatile and comfortable. So you know you don't want to miss this
head-turning woody, call today!
