1959 saw the introduction of a newly revised Country Squire. Some new design features on the car include round taillights, wider front grille, and reverse lights integrated into the top of the fins. This was the only year for this body style and by 1960, the classic 1950s styling had been replaced with a more modern and updated design.
Bill Woggon, the creator of Archie Comics, is reported to have originally owned this car and is said to have spent time at his Santa Barbara ranch. This immaculate Country Squire has traveled approximately 2,500 miles since its comprehensive restoration commissioned by its current owner. The engine, transmission, brake system, dealer installed Polaraire air conditioning, and the original radio have all been rebuilt and perform as new. The 352-cid V-8, power steering and power brakes are creature comforts that make this a pleasurable and easy classic car to drive on modern roads. During its all-inclusive restoration, the car was repainted in its original color combination featuring Raven Black and all the exterior woodgrain was replaced. The interior is an attractive and complementary two-tone red and white combination. Chromed wire wheels and whitewall tires add to the overall appealing presentation of this nine-passenger, four-door station wagon.
This is reported as “one of the best Country Squires around” and represents the perfect opportunity to purchase a classic car that can be driven with confidence. Whether the Country Squire is utilized on weekdays or weekends, you’ll have the capacity to transport most leisure items, plus the entire family.
