While Ford introduced its first production woodie wagon in 1929, it wasn't until early 1950 that Ford began using the Country Squire moniker in its marketing materials to denote its premium, top-of-the-line station wagon. The nameplate went on to survive across eight generations all the way through 1991.The Last of the True Woodies: The first generation (19491951) was the only generation of Country Squires built with genuine wood structural components attached to a steel body. Driven by the high costs and intense labor required to assemble real wood, Ford completely re-engineered the wagon in 1952. All subsequent models featured all-steel bodies accented by fiberglass framing and woodgrain vinyl decals.Built from Ford's Private Forests: To supply lumber for their incredibly labor-intensive woodie production, Henry Ford proactively purchased over 500,000 acres of forest in Iron Mountain, Michigan. The 1950 Country Squire's body panels were literally hand-assembled right next to the forest at the Ford Iron Mountain plant using local high-quality mahogany plywood trimmed in maple or birchThe Most Expensive Car in the Lineup: Though station wagons are viewed as practical family haulers today, the 1950 Country Squire was an elite status symbol aimed at luxury country estates, country clubs, and private schools. Priced at a premium due to its handcrafted nature, it was actually the most expensive passenger vehicle in Ford's entire 1950 model lineupRarity in Numbers: Because real wood was highly susceptible to wood rot and weathering over the decades, very few original models survived the elements. Out of the original production run, pristine examples are incredibly rare today, making a professionally built, rust-free, metal-stripped restomod highly coveted by collectors Local to our Dealership?
