    Hi there - I'm a new member who has been fascinated with wagons ever since I grew up riding in them in the '70s and '80s. Anyway, I've got a family of my own now and have been longing for a ride that could combine the nostalgia of that with my interest in old resto-mod low-buck performance cars too.

    So tomorrow I'm picking up my new purchase: a 1970 Ford Country Squire! It's pretty clean, but far from mint. 390 automatic. Should be fun to play around with. Can't wait! Will post pics when I get it.

    Hope to learn some stuff from this community too!

    Welcome, Art.
    Congratulations on the new (to you) wagon. Nothing like a big Country Squire.....

    Country Squires are one of my all time fav's.. Used to have a '76 Country Squire.. still kick myself for getting rid of it. What a beautiful land yacht it was. Maybe again some day.

    Pics, pics and more pics please when you do get it!:banana::taz::2_thumbs_up_-_anima:thumbs2::Welcome:

    Welcome, I am also a fan of the Ford wagons. I am actually looking at a Country Squire that my neighbor has.
