1967 Ford Country Squire - Hemmings

The Ford Country Squire wagon is one of my favorite cars to use when playing Forza Motorsport on my Xbox. So in honor of that, for throwback Thursday, I went out and found one for sale on Hemmings. How can you go wrong with seating for 9 (possibly without seat belts?) and a thumping 390 cubic inch V8 under the hood? I love the red on red with faux wood sides! Priced at $19,900 and for sale HERE. I've included the sellers description below.

"Description: 

Before the minivan came on the scene in 1984, soccer moms had a different way to get the little ones to practice on time. Moms and dads across America drove station wagons, which were, in essence, an extension of sedans with the same performance. These land yachts could carry up to 10 passengers, with plenty of room for all their luggage up on the roof rack. Unfortunately, the demise of the large station wagons began with the "aero" design of the 1990s, with the third row seat niche going to sport utility vehicles. With the prices of many of the sportier collector cars out of reach for the average enthusiast, station wagons make a great alternative. Older station wagons offer comfort, carrying capacity and safety, with prices traditionally hovering at around half of a comparable sedan.
