This example was made in Fords St. Thomas Assembly factory in Southwold, Ontario, Canada in November 1986. Its one of 17,562 Country Squires made in 1987 and was initially sold in the Omaha, Nebraska sales territory. It has had the same loving family for the past 22 years. Prior owner stated mileage was actual at 41,954. Finished in Dark Clove Brown Metallic, the wagons paint and trim are in overall very good order. The doors, tailgate and fenders are adorned with woodgrain appliqus that mimicked the real wood used on the 1950 and 1951 wagons. The bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is in satisfactory order as is the cargo area. There is an 18-gallon fuel tank. The chrome bumpers fit tightly to the body. This wagon rolls on white stripe Cooper Lifeline GLS, size 215/70R15 at every corner. Each tire is mounted on a locking wire-style wheel cover. The wheels and tires are all in very good condition. This wagon rides a 114.3-inch wheelbase and a 5,550 GVWR. Inside, the Sand Beige cloth interior features a six-way, split front bench seat that is in very good condition, as is the rear bench seat. The matching carpet is in satisfactory order while the corresponding headliner is in very good shape. A four-spoke steering wheel faces the driver.

A column-mounted shift lever and a factory AM/FM stereo with cassette deck complete the interior. From 1979 to 1991, a five-door station wagon was offered as part of the LTD/LTD Crown Victoria model line. Offered in equivalent trim as sedans, the flagship version remained the wood-trimmed LTD Country Squire, trimmed nearly identically to the LTD Crown Victoria (and the subsequent LTD Crown Victoria LX). On hiatus for the 1983 model year, a non-woodgrain station wagon returned for 1984 under the LTD Crown Victoria nameplate (the previous LTD station wagon); this version was offered in fleet (S) trim, standard trim and LX trim. While smaller than its 1970s predecessor, the LTD Crown Victoria/Country Squire wagon returned many of its functional features. The rear door was dual-hinged, allowing it to function as a tailgate or swing outward; other features included a standard roof rack and optional side-facing rear seats (expanding capacity from six to eight). For 1979, Ford downsized its full-size car lines. Eleven inches shorter and nearly 1000 pounds lighter than its 1978 predecessor, the redesigned Country Squire retained its eight-passenger seating capability with only slightly reduced cargo capacity. While retaining a V-8 engine, the Country Squire shifted from the 400 and 460 CID V-8s to the 302 and 351 CID Windsor V-8s, sharing engines with the Ford Granada. When this generation of station wagon was introduced, the wheelbase was one inch longer than the intermediate 1962 Ford Fairlane station wagon and was shorter than the 1972 Ford Gran Torino Squire station wagon.
