1951 Ford Country Squire

This 1951 Ford Country Squire is a two-door “woodie” station wagon that was acquired by the seller’s father in 1999, reportedly from a relative of the first owner. A refurbishment was carried out beginning in 2000, which included repainting the exterior blue, reupholstering interior surfaces in brown and tan vinyl, and installing a 12-volt electric system and an electronic fuel pump. Power is from a 239ci flathead V8 paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes blue-finished steel wheels, chrome hubcaps, whitewall tires, a split windshield, a Ford Magic Air heater, and a wood dashboard. This Country Squire is offered by the seller in Florida on behalf of the owner’s estate at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, partial service records, owner’s and maintenance manuals, and a clean Colorado title. Under current ownership, the right rear window is said to have been replaced and the car was repainted blue with wood paneling on the doors, rear quarters, and hatch. Additional details include a rear-mounted spare wheel and tire, a left side mirror, right curb feelers, a split windshield, hinged taillight assemblies, and a chrome grille and bumpers. Paint scratches are noted by the seller. Blue-finished steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and Firestone Deluxe Champion wide-whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes. The vehicle is equipped with revised rear dampers. The front and rear bench seats were reupholstered in brown and tan vinyl under current ownership. A Ford Magic Air heater is mounted below the dash, and the dashboard and door panels have been painted to look like wood. The clock, radio, and door locks are inoperative. The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a 100-mph speedometer with perimeter supplementary gauges. The inoperative mechanical odometer shows 94k miles. Total mileage is unknown. The 239ci flathead V8 features a single carburetor, an electronic fuel pump, and a 12-volt electrical system. An electronic fuel pump is said to have been installed and the starter and fuel lines were replaced in approximately 2019. The seller reports the cooling and electrical systems were repaired in preparation for the sale and notes a battery drain. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery. The manufacturer’s literature, partial service records, and owner’s and maintenance manuals are included in the sale.
