I would be down if they made the Ford Mustang into its only car platform in the US. Give us a euro inspired wagon and sedan, Maybe a ute if were lucky. This is something they should have done years ago as a cheaper option to the german premium sedans.
I LOVE STATION WAGONS! Back in the 70s, there were station wagon clubs that would take vacation trips with lines of them making a "wagon train". Great fun and you didn't have to worry about Indian attacks.
Those rear seats! I remember an electric window switch we'd mess with until dad turned it off. The a/c vents were so integrated with the dash styling you could hardly see them. And the wood-grained wallpaper! Was a great car, dad loved it.
..yep, '65, '66, '67...'68 is very similar to the '67, except they lost the stacked headlights, and IMHO didn't look nearly so nice...loved those stacked headlights...
There is enough fabric in one of the bikinis at the beginning of the film 0:04 to make four bikinis today and there is enough steel in one '67 Country Squire to make four cars today 😉🤣
My folks bought one of these in 1967 Navy blue no wood. I was 6 we had it for 6 years. I used to lay in the back between the cooler and luggage eating candy and reading comics on the way to the cottage(in The Laurentions just North of Montreal). I can still remember the smell of it. Lol.
Bring back the magic tailgate and 8-track stereo. Woo hoo. I drive a VW Golf station wagon. I would have liked a Ford Falcon wagon but they don't make them anymore. Dang! Wagons Ho!
That last one was funny. I remember when they couldn’t mention competitors names only ‘other leading brands…..’ then came The Pepsi Challenge and it all changed. Lol.
It may sound corny, but i’d love to see a functional 8 Track tape player option in a modern retro styled vehicle! I know tapes would be impossible to find but, still…….
...loved McLean Stevenson in the final ad...and maybe just me, but in the first ad, as 22 guys were touting the "doorgate" and showing the width of the load floor they pulled out a flat board with what looked like a sheet covered corpse...just bizarre visuals... ...without exception, consumers either really like the center-facing 3rd row seats ( kids could keep each other amused...Ford even produced an optional game table...allowing young kids to color or play board games on long trips)... ...or they hated it...the seats were too closely placed to allow adults to be seated comfortably .. ...the pleased parents must have won the day at Dearborn, since the center-facing design concept was carried through in the Country Squire and Mercury's Colony Park wagons until the were discontinued after the 1991 model year ...
In the first ad you are urged to drive a Ford wagon...but no Falcon wagon is shown. I realize there wasn't a Falcon Squire after 1965 (or was there?) but you have to wonder why it was left out. And it's kind of odd that they show the Select-Shift feature on a floor mounted shift lever, was there ever a floor shifted transmission in a 67 Ford wagon?
Compared to the absolute junk that is made in 2021, I'd take this wagon in a heartbeat ....and it's awful gas mileage. At least it won't cost $1000 every time the hood is opened up.
I owned an 86 Country Squire 8 passenger. The 302 was really good on gas and had good power. It was like a Lincoln wagon with electronic digital dash, power everything. Hated when it blew a head head gasket.
The biggest difference between the Ford and a Pontiac [ I owned a 67 model of both ] was under the hood a 400 Pontiac V8 would bury a Ford 390 V8, aside from that the Ford rode better , and was quieter .
I was a about seventeen that electric window almost killed me it shorted out got me by the neck choking me the fire department ended breaking the window come to find out it killing children in back the window shorted out instead going up slow it went up fast and you couldn't get it back down .
When I was a kid, a neighbor had an aqua Country Squire with a matching interior. I still think it is one of the most beautiful cars I've seen.
Ford, You brought back the Bronco now bring back the Country Squire!!!
OH HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!! Let's start a thing. I'd buy one...or two.
Hell yeah!! We're tired of cookie cutter SUVs

Don't forget the Country Sedan and Ranch Wagon...love those cars!
@@jrtej9575 True, not everyone can afford the top of the range Country Squire.

I love Country Squires and Colony Parks !
This was my first car to learn driving although a '69 my dad let me drive when I was early teens loved it. No smog 302 power

One of the, in fact probably THE most beautiful Station Wagon of the Sixties EVER made! (especially with the fake wood on the sides)
6 kids in my family! I was #5 - my younger sister and I sat in the “ way back” 😂
My favorite year for Ford ... these are beautiful cars!!!
Those stacked headlights made it SO perfect!
@@RivetGardener indeed

My dad's car was the Country Sedan with a 390. Many great memories in that car. Wish now that I still had it.
Man I had some wonderful times in that backwards backseat as a kid, and drove like Richard Petty in them when I got my drivers license as a teenager !
My dad had a 1967 Fairlane wagon.

I dig the 1967 full-size Fords!

Love the positive energy of this era!
Beginning in 1969, it would have a THREE-way magic doorgate!
I grew up this this wagon! My dad bought it new, and it lasted til 1979 when it was wrecked in a traffic collision.
We were luckier. My dad's made it until the mid eighties when it was finally sold. Our whole family learned how to drive in that car including my mom.
... still have my parents '68 Ranch Wagon. Britanny Blue wit a 302 V-8/ 3 "on the tree" manual shift. A lot of memories 😉✔️❗

Yeah, I remember when station wagons were ALL the rage. They still are - we just lifted them a bit and call them SUVs!
Nah you cannot compare an SUV to a wagon, at least wagons feel like a car. SUVs don’t
@@hjm2062 CUVs that dominate the roads are just bloated, tall cars now.
My Outback pales in cargo room compared to those old station wagons. Hell the Country Squire has more room below the floor than my Outback.
I think the station wagon is the best design in car in history. It can do everything.
Awesome stuff, and an aspiring young Maclean Stevenson. Who knew?
I ❤ the Styling of this Vehicle 😊
We had a 1967 Ford Fairlane Country Squire in baby blue 289 V8
That last one was funny. I remember when they couldn’t mention competitors names only ‘other leading brands…..’ then came The Pepsi Challenge and it all changed. Lol.
I called that riding tail gunner. And it was my designated seat on our. '66 Fury 111
I also was in command of that rear seat position over my six younger siblings ! Man, good times !
@@davidatovar
What kind of wagon did you have
They were not just a car , they were a fancy pick-up truck with an built in topper .
We had one just like the blue one, the whole family going on vacation
It was a beautiful car!
That last commercial with comedy HAD to be Mclean Stevenson
It may sound corny, but i’d love to see a functional 8 Track tape player option in a modern retro styled vehicle!

Family had a '69 Country Squire, with the "magic" gate apparently.

HOLY F**K , And ad for a car we actually had!
2:33 i was 8 years old when these came out had no idea that cars had this feature I thought maybe 1974
After seeing this commercial tonight, I had to see it again for 5'3" Barbara.
I hope you can restore the color of these films, quite faded.

Macchine americane meravigliose. 👍👍
Good stuff
Does anyone else remember auto locking door option? I don't and we had Fords and Mercurys all through the 60s. Were they vacum operated?
I would much rather have the Woody
A quality automobile
Love the wagons
Hate the fake wood paneling
The 60’s version of the SUV
They put a 428 4 speed in one
Falcon came in a wagon?

A key that goes in both ways.....🤭
I remember when their keys were like that.
The 68’ was so much nicer
They would have been better if they made limited slip and load leveling as standard equipment, and overdrive a low cost option.
Price would have increased by $84 and your ancestors would have balked at the increase.

Your photo is not a Squire... 🙄
The best was the BUICK ESTATE WAGON. AMAZING
Your ahead in a Ford.....until you stop at a gas station and get passed by a Volkswagen!!!!!
I was a about seventeen that electric window almost killed me it shorted out got me by the neck choking me the fire department ended breaking the window come to find out it killing children in back the window shorted out instead going up slow it went up fast and you couldn't get it back down .
0:46 "You'll see why Ford is America's station wagon specialist" - the company whose only car now is a 2 door?
It’s been 54 years, fella. Things change. How do you think the ‘67 Ford looked when compared to the 1913 Model T??
