    Hi all,
    After a Buick Estate wagon 1996 and a Chrysler 300C 2005 5.7V8 AWD (european Magnum), i switch to another wagon, older, w/o electronics, catalytic, fuel injection or other "modern parts": I bought a '70 Ford Country Squire !
    I live in SW France, a city named Pau near Pyrénées mountains. i owned US cars since 1985, the Ford is the 7th in the list. First was a Ramcharger and today i kept only the car i restored during 7 years, a '57 Imperial convertible.
    I'm also president of a US car club: AmeriSud.
    The Country Squire isn't still at home, i'll get it in the first weeks of january, so the pics i post are from its actual location (North of France). The car needs a paint and new "wood" because the old vinyl was 'painted" with a dark stain. The mouldings need also a better paint ... The interior (red) is in great conditions. Mill is the 390 ci. The only option is the A/C (and AM radio !).
