Vehicle Description
1950 Ford Deluxe Country Squire Station Wagon
For the 1950 model year, Ford renamed its model lines; initially,
the station wagon was a Custom Deluxe with the all new "Country
Squire" name introduced in early 1950. Several revisions were made
for 1950 to improve functionality and capability. The second and
third-row seats were redesigned, allowing their removal without
tools. In another change, the Country Squire also received heavier
duty rear suspension, wider tires, and a larger fuel tank over Ford
sedans. Howstuffworks.com
For consignment, a 1950 Ford Deluxe Country Squire station wagon
showing 30,000 miles on the title which are not actual. Maple and
Mahogany adorn this classic 1950 which also has some parts from a
'51. Major body work has been started but needs to be completed and
the wagon cargo space is now used for a slew of parts that go with
the car.
Exterior
What color do you think goes best with wood on a woody? Well, the
options are limitless as the metal panels on the car including the
entire front clip, roof, and tail light panels, along with the
rocker panels and rear wheel surround, will all need to be finished
and painted. Some of the Hawthorne Green is peeking through, but
most are a mixed bag of patina, surface rust, and welded seams. You
could certainly throw some clear on it and call it a day, but
there's more potential here and the top has been chopped and the
doors shaved already! Meanwhile, the wood is in decent shape with
contrasting tones of honey colored maple and black grained
mahogany, all serving as clean inspiration to get this wagon done!
17-inch Bullitt wheels are on board carrying staggered size tires
and the slammed wagon also has a raked stance. Metalwork will need
help too, so put rechroming on your work docket. As we say in the
south, it's rougher than a stucco bathtub.
Interior
Essentially a shell inside, it's filled to the brim with parts and
all surfaces have a light coat of surface rust. Low backed gray
cloth bucket seats are up front, but likely just as place holders
until you decide what the interior should look like as they are
tired. A 70's steering wheel sits on an earlier column leading to a
barren dashboard awaiting your creative input, and wears a single
dial, a volt gauge, likely there to read the myriad of wire strewn
throughout. In back, we note the air suspension controller.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, a comparatively clean Mustang 5.0 liter V8, fuel
injected and linked to an AOD 4-speed automatic transmission
keeping it in the family by sending power to the Ford 8.8" in back.
A big aluminum radiator is on board along with coated headers. Disc
brakes are on all four corners.
Undercarriage
Also clean underneath other than dust, dirt, and spider webs. The
chromed differential cover adds some bling to the affair and dual
exhaust travels through Turbo style mufflers before dumping
abruptly under the car through downturned ends. Suspension includes
airbags up front and a 4 link with air bags in the rear.
Drive-Ability
This is a no frills ride at the moment, but the 5.0 liter delivers
on startup and bellows from the dual exhaust below. A quick lap
around the loop proves the engine works, the brakes work, and the
suspension keeps everything on the down low. While Classic Auto
Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of
our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working
at the time of your purchase.
This cool ride with the 1951 grille is begging to be finished. In
the end, you'll have an absolutely unique wagon with some stunning
wood and whatever else you want to add to it! It's a parts bin on
wheels and it's going to make a fantastic project for someone
willing to launch into this draggin' wagon!
