    "Ten" passenger wagon? How? Are there 10 sets of seat belts in it? I doubt it. At least not from the factory.

    When Ford first introduced the dual facing rear seats, they advertised the wagons so equipped as 10 passenger wagons -- doubtless to one up the other makes' 9-passenger station wagons. That was in 1965, when seat belts were only required for the front seats. By 1970, Ford just referred to them as wagons with DFRS.
