Ford Country Squire 390 V8 1959

Allmän beskrivning : UNIQUE RESTOMOD WAGON, BIG BLOCK 390 V8, T-BIRD GUTS, 4-DISCS, PWR STEER, A/C!!!

This 1959 Ford Country Squire wagon is the Blue Oval answer to the Nomad, and my question to you is this: when was the last time you saw a beautifully '59 Ford that was this cool? Heck, when was the last time you saw a 2-door Ford wagon of any kind? This is a rare, unusual, beautifully built car that you won't see at every show, for a fraction of the price of a Nomad.
Fresh from the rust-free southern US, this wagon is ready to hit the beach with its bright Aqua paint job and cool stance. And what could be better than this dramatic wagon for hauling your gear? The paint job is recent and definitely stands out with its classic '50s aqua paint with plenty of metallic, giving it an updated look that will remain stylish indefinitely. The trim running along the length of the bodywork emphasizes the big Ford's cool styling, particularly the kicked-up quarter panels and mini-fins. It looks fantastic and it's obvious that someone made a plan and stuck to it during the build, so everything works together to create something unique. All the original Ford trim remains and it has all been polished or re-plated, including that ultra-cool grille up front and the jet-themed taillights out back. And the window tint totally works here.
The custom interior echoes the aqua bodywork, and features four Thunderbird bucket seats for a trick twist on an old favorite. All the upholstery is new and even the T-Bird's center console made the transition intact, so it should feel familiar to many of you. That's the original dashboard, augmented by a set of Auto Meter gauges that look suitably vintage. A billet steering wheel hangs on a polished tilt column and there's a neat custom consolette above the factory console that houses the custom stereo and A/C system. The factory radio and heater controls remain in the dash, so nothing was hacked up or modified, which is always a nice touch, and there are power window controls built into the center console And as a wagon, there's a positively massive cargo bay, which has been as expertly upholstered as the rest of the interior, complete with matching side panels that echo those in the rear seat area.
The motor is a very stout 390 cubic inch V8, which looks right in the old Ford's engine bay, brightened by a set of finned valve covers and a matching air cleaner. Aside from the Edelbrock 4-barrel carb and intake, it's largely stock, so it runs smoothly and hammers down the highway effortlessly thanks to a big cushion of torque. A big aluminum radiator and all-new A/C equipment ensures that it stays cool and so do you, while a modern dual master cylinder feeds 4-wheel disc brakes. The dual exhaust system features reasonably aggressive mufflers, so this wagon has a very pleasant growl that attracts attention without being obnoxious. Floors are solid, the original Ford-O-Matic shifts well, and there's a 9-inch out back hanging on adjustable air shocks, so it can still carry a load when it has to. Oversized American Racing wheels look right and wear low-profile radials that clear the fender wells without any issues.
A very cool surf wagon that can go anywhere and looks awesome doing it, all for half the price of a Nomad. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
