For Sale: 1955 Ford Country Squire in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this nicely redone1955 Ford Country Squire. Sadly, the glory days of the Woodies were long gone, until now! The quirky looks of these station wagons with wood body panels were all the craze back in the 1930s, quickly becoming a symbol of suburban America and the families that lived there. The Country Squire was produced by Ford from 1950 to 1991 as its top of the line station wagon. Because of the long life of the nameplate, the Squire went through several shifts in design, with the 1950's Woody's being the most desired. Ford's 272 CID "Y-block" (ECG-9425-B casting code) V-8 linked to a 3-speed automatic transmission was standard equipment in the Country Squire, making for a smooth powerplant with plenty of power for the highway. The bright red and white interior are a gorgeous contrast to the Snowshoe white bodywork and makes the handsome wagon feel very upscale. Three rows of seating are present, including a center-row section that folds down to grant access to the forward-facing rear bench. The large two-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. Nicely finished and ready to enjoy, this is the ultimate vintage family hauler!
