Ford proclaimed the Country Squire of 1951 was “…a double-duty dandy. You’ll find this bold beauty is a honey for Sunday calling or Monday hauling.”

This immaculate 1951 Ford Country Squire Station Wagon is representative of the final year for the famous Ford “woodie” wagon and many feel that Ford saved the best for last. The Ford Motor Company built the bodies in Dearborn and then completed the wooden portion of the body in Iron Mountain, Michigan. Ford's Iron Mountain facility in the Upper Michigan Peninsula was situated in a 500 acre forest that provided the lumber used to build the “woodie” bodies. The light, wood frame is made of maple and is complemented with mahogany panels.

This freshly restored Country Squire is powered by its original 239-cid flathead V-8 engine producing approximately 100-hp. The flathead is backed up by a three-speed column-shifted, manual transmission. This Country Squire is finished in its original Hawthorne Green and has been restored to show as when new. The vehicle sits as it would have looked when it rolled off of the assembly line with unspecified minor upgrades for reliability and drivability. The car does have dual, glass-pack mufflers that give it a very pleasant, nostalgic exhaust note.

This terrific Country Squire was sold new in Michigan and remained there for many years. It was restored in Michigan and has been shown occasionally and pampered since completion.
