1960 Frontenac (Canada-only) Wagon

Oh, she's a bit roached, but she's a real sweet pea! And an extremely rare one at that. Call me biased, but as a Canadian, I think the 1960 Frontenac was one of the most tasteful and well-executed cars that Ford Motor Co. made that year. It may be hard to see it with this example, and perhaps also one with the black paint option, but do a Google image search of a red Frontenac wagon and tell me it ain't a cool car. I'm a Mopar guy at heart, but I'd have a red one of these in a heartbeat.

This one's a bit rough to say the least, but these cars are one of the coolest pieces of Canadiana to ever to roll off the assembly line. The price on this one has also dropped down to $2,500 from $3,000 when I saw this ad late last night.

I found some images of a red two door model. I'm sure Ford enthusiasts here are familiar with these cars, but I can't help but indulge a little...

 

Pretty cool. I have known about these cars for a few years, but they don't pop up very often.

 

Definitely cool cars. I grew up with my mother and my grandparents both having Falcons throughout the 1960s and into the 70s. I wonder if there is a critter living in that hole in the front seat!

 

Yeah, definitely not. The Frontenac was a one-year only model. Apparently only 9,536 Frontenacs were ever made, and much fewer than that were wagons. Add time to that equation, as well as all of the salt on Canada's roads in the winter, and it's not hard to see why not many of these exist today. For me, the red ones are the best ones of all though. They're just a neat, happy, classy little car.

Could be a squirrel! Just be careful though, squirrels love nuts!
