1400 mile 1974 Ford LTD Country Squire (Sorry, couldn't find the station wagon thread)

When I was in high school (1976-79) I had a Buick sport wagon with the windows in the roof(think Olds vista cruiser) with the 400/th400 combo. I loved

the car but what made it great was the 4.10 gears the original owner had installed for towing his boat.That car caught a lot of muscle cars off guard.I did

put air bags in the rear springs and the car could hook in a car wash.

1400 mile 41 year old wagon??? How is that even possible? Unless this vehicle was shipped with the USPS and it was lost for all these years, Im not buying it.

Upon switching cars the first thing Barbara Feldon said when driving the Ford was "It's like driving the Queen Mary".

Let's Switch! (1975)

Actually she calls it the SS Poseidon. (There's also a brief shot of a white '60 Edsel convertible in the opening scenes.)

Hey you found the good ole' Family Truckster...

 

...Love the way the dark forest green interior clashes with the yellow-green exterior – so '70s.

As we learned from Eugene Levy in "Vacation", the actual official name for this color is "Metallic Pea".

"You think that you hate it now, but wait till you drive it!"

A genuine relic from the deepest dark ages of American car culture! Love the way the dark forest green interior clashes with the yellow-green exterior – so '70s.

Too bad it's not a '64 with 1,400 miles.

 

I probably would've ordered the tan interior with that color. 

Actually I probably would've gone with Medium Blue Glow and the blue interior.

My dad had a '66 Dodge Monaco 9 passenger wagon. The only thing I know about the motor was that it was a 383. He embarresed more than one young kid with his jacked up hot rods and loud exhaust with that thing.

Back when I was a teenager, my folks had the same LTD wagon. That thing was BADASS, and it was the best car for going to the drive-in with the girlfriend. Lots of space in the back with the rear seats down.
