1968 Country Squire
I love station wagons, and I love clean, old, original cars. So I was knocked out to find this machine here in The Netherlands. A just-like-new original 1968 Ford Country Squire with 14k miles on it. Engine is the Ford 390. This car looks untouched. Showroom new. A black-plate California car that has spent its life in a garage. The dealers who imported it to Holland changed hoses, did brakes, and replaced fluids. New battery. Everything else is original. The interior is like new. Investment-grade vinyl. The original faux-woodgrain is in perfect condition. This wagon deserves a trip via container back to the US--with that size, and that engine, it really isn't a getting-around-Holland kind of car. For sale at C&S Exclusive here in Wassenaar. They seem to specialize in classics. You can contact them at info@CS-EXCLUSIVE.NL tel +31 (0)70 512 17 80

What a waste for this 68 wagon to have sat so long instead of being driven and used like the workhorse it wants to be. Our 1968 Ford LTD Country Squire, which I bought new, has never been pampered. It lived outside through all sorts of weather. It hauled kids and hay and horse trailers and u-haul trailers. It carried us seven times across the USA. It is a member of the family and has over 413,000 miles on its original, never re-built 390 engine. So many people ask us about the car that we wrote its life story which is available on Amazon as an eBook .
