For Sale: 1989 Ford Crown Victoria in Lithia Springs, Georgia

This is rolling nostalgia. The 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Country Squire wagon has all the stuff you love, like fuel-injected V8 power, clean wood side paneling, a loaded interior, and facing third-row seating. It was part of that popular generation where everyone piled into the family car for a road trip. Since this highly original and loaded car is so affordable, you can return to that time with ease.

The factory-correct Oxford White was given a partial/lower respray later in life (2017). It was to make sure this continues the look of premium that you want on a range-topping Country Squire wagon. They even made a more recent investment in the hallmark wood-like side trim to make sure it looked clean and complete. The reason this can look so correctly vintage is that this is a one-family-owned wagon. In fact, while it's unknown if the odometer reflects the full mileage, the son says his father parked this wagon in 1992 for long-term storage. A stock LTD Country Squire was a premium/expensive Ford that came with nice details like chrome bumpers, a hood ornament, turbine-style wheel covers, and a full roof rack. So it's nice to see that all are still looking good. The result is a sharp-looking wagon that still looks like it's seen some time as a true family hauler. The kind of car you had back in the day where dad kept good care of it but it also was running around town to ball games and church fairs every day (it even has a trailer hitch for family camping adventures.) And that's how you have a truly nostalgic style.

The red velour interior is distinct and luxurious. There's a terrific level of preservation here, and you see it in details like the smooth wood-like trim and how the clean seats retain their intricate pattern. A tilt steering column and a fold-down armrest make sure this wagon knows how to get long-haul comfortable. Plus, this premium Country Squire gives you power front seats to make sure the driver has an alluring command position. You also have a ton of great features like power windows (including the rear glass), power mirrors, and cruise control. You also have provisions for the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo and air conditioning (they will need servicing to fully function again.) The spacious second row and plush carpeting keep this comfortable for plenty of people, and if you need more room, it has dual facing rear seats to hold up to eight people total. Plus, both rows can all be folded flat for utility. That makes this one great for loading up with supplies and spending the day showing it off at the car show.

This is a premium Ford product from the late 1980s, and so you know there's a 5.0-liter V8 under the hood. But while the fuel-injected motor was earning a street-eating reputation in the Mustang, this is quite a different setup. It utilizes its powerful and torque-filled heart in a more refined way. So no rumbling burnouts here, but you do get to be the first to pull away from the stoplight any time you want. In fact, good maintenance and desirable fuel injection keep it quite a consistent machine. Plus, it has power steering, power brakes, front discs, new cruising tires, and a four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. So it's the kind of classic luxury that can still easily take you in comfort on long road trips.

This time capsule even comes complete with the owner's manual. This is family-style nostalgia at its finest. So if you know what Radwood is, you know you need to call today!
