    The most obvious difference: Country Sedan doesn't have any of the woodgrain trim on the sides. Country Squire has the woodgrain trim.

    This is a Country Squire.

    If it's a Ford, and it has the word 'Squire' in the model name, it has to have wood grain on the outside. That was one requirement in the Ford naming scheme. The full-sized Ford Squire was always called 'Country Squire', and it's last year was 1991. The smaller models each were called by their model name, with 'Squire' following - Falcon Squire; Fairlane Squire; Torino Squire; Pinto Squire; LTDII Squire; Fairmont Squire; LTD Squire, etc... If it DOESN'T have the 'wood' on the outside, it's NOT a 'Squire'.

    Says here if it was a Pinto,it was the "Squire Option". (1973 Dealer Brochure). As: "Ford Pinto Wagon with Squire Option". And the full size Ford was only a "Country Squire" from 1951, '49 and '50 models were "Deluxe" or "Custom". The real Country Squires for me will always be the '55 and '56s,with the adorable sliding windows for the 3rd seat people.

    I heard a similar joke about '57 Chevies: "So what's the difference between a 210 and a Bel Air?" " About 300 pounds."
