67 Ford

I have a question, that some of you might be able to answer. I just bought a 67 Ford Country squire wagon and it has two emblems that I have not seen on anyother wagon of that year. In the back under the Country Squire script are Horse haeds with arrows under them. Dose anyone know anything about this emblem or has someone else seen it on a wagon? It is org. I am the 3rd owner of the wagon and the 2nd owner has owned it for over 25 years and said they were there when he bought it from NJ. Thanks

 

Fatbug,

I have attached images from the Ford master parts catalog of the side and back views of the '67 Squire. These appear to show only the Country Squire script emblem on the side and two emblems on the back. Hope this helps.

 

nice find Tiga

 

Here's a link to a current auction of a '67 Squire on eBay. This appears to show some sort of a horse head emblem as well. Interesting...

Can't say the guy is hiding anything. Bit steep for my blood, but one heck of a decent start.

 

Yeah....very interesting puzzle here......

 

I looked around and it appears to be an OE badge for a Country Squire, PN C5AB-16C234A. Used in the 60,s , the arrows are actually riding crops.
I found this on the internet so it has to be true

 

I'll buy the part number factoid, but the on-internet part is a stretch...

 

I have seen that emblem but couldn't remember what car I saw it on. Horse head with the crops. Question is....which cars got it and which did not??

 

Try checking this site out to ask about the horse and crops emblem: http://www.motorcitygalaxieclub.com.

 

The same 'crest' appears on the '65 Country Squire, mounted on the fender, after the 'CS' script. Don't see it on the '64's, though.

My thought is that they wanted to give the Country Squire some extra flair, above the Country Sedan, particularly when the LTD came out in '65. I se it as a sort of a 'ranch crest' - like a branding iron logo......

 

See it in the pic now, just have not seen it on cars around here. I do thank everyone for the input.

 

On all the 66 Country Squire, its very prominantly located at the leading edge of the front fender. Its actually a nice touch that I always thought made the 66 Squire stand out. Too bad Ford moved it to a less prominant location for 67.

 

Intersting, I've never seen this before. Could this be a regonal promotion gimick?

 

I would be more inclined to guess that if its not on all 67 Country Squires, then it may be something that was deleted at some time during the model year, or it may have been part of a special trim and convenience option package. Chrysler often did special option packages like Dodge's White Hat Specials and Plymouths Win-You-Over specials. Its highly likely that Ford offered a package that included a special price on a group of options (power brakes, ac, power steering, for example) and could have included a special emblem to set the cars apart from others without the option package.
