Ford Country Squire 1966 v1.1

The Ford Country Squire (later the Ford LTD Country Squire) is a product range of station wagons that was assembled by Ford Motor Company from the 1950 to 1991 model years. Marketed as the premium station wagon of the Ford division, the Country Squire was distinguished by its woodgrain body trim. As of the 2019 model year, the 41-year production run of the Country Squire is the third-longest of a Ford car nameplate in North America, surpassed only by the Ford Thunderbird (46 years) and Ford Mustang (55 years, currently in production).

As part of the full-size Ford model range, the Ford Country Squire was sold across seven generations, becoming the station wagon counterpart of several model lines. From 1950 to 1954, the Country Squire was based upon the Ford Custom Deluxe (and the Ford Crestline that replaced it). In 1955, Ford shifted station wagons into a stand-alone model range, with the Country Squire sharing its trim with the Ford Fairlane (and the later Ford Galaxie). In 1969, Ford consolidated sedans and station wagons into a single model range, with the Country Squire becoming a station wagon version of the Ford LTD. As the model line was renamed the Ford LTD Crown Victoria in 1983, the Country Squire remained part of the full-size range through its 1991 discontinuation.

From 1961 to 1991, the Mercury Colony Park was marketed as the Mercury counterpart of the Country Squire, sharing nearly all exterior bodywork and trim. Prior to 1979, the Colony Park was the sole full-size Mercury to share a wheelbase with Ford vehicles.

For the 1992 model year, the Ford Crown Victoria was introduced only as a four-door sedan, leaving the Country Squire with no direct replacement through its 2011 discontinuation. As of the 2019 model year, Ford does not sell a sedan-based station wagon in North America.
