Walk around of my new 1991 FORD LTD Country Squire wagon

My tax refund and a big job I completed gave me some extra cash, so when I found this wagon on craigslist, I had to have it. I'd been causally surfing CL for a '90 or '91 Country Squire or Colony Park for years, but never found one affordable or in good shape until now. This wagon was actually traded in by the original owners at a local Ford dealer for a new car!

Reminds me of national lampoons vacation, would you ever consider painting it metallic pea green? I bet those door panels are the same on a regular ltd and should be fairly easy to find, you may have to paint them to match though.

@mjmcomputers Lol, yeah don't forget the green-wall tires. I hope the door panels on the sedans are the same, this car has the cloth door panels though, so either I find one brown one to match, or all 4 vinyl ones.

Does the A/C work?

Also it looks like the gaps are a little excessive where the tailgate "door" meets the body near the top of the door. Hopefully it wasn't hit at some point.

@mznxb9872 Yeah, the AC is ice cold. I figure those gaps are normal, you should see how big the gap around that door is on my two GM wagons, I think I could fit my hands in it.

Are there white walls on the other side of those tires? If there are you should switch them around, white walls really look good on a car like that. Great wagon and a great find!

[LynolsOffice]

@MikeGuy993 Yes, the white walls are on the other side. I'm actually going to the shop today to have them switched around. A car with woodgrain sides looks wrong without whitewalls, lol!

I've had one of those for years!!!. And all of them have bad, non working odometers and trip odometers. The little gears in there are cheap plastic and they melt! But an easy and permanent fix is available, write me!!

Last years of the box style! Lucky!! Great car and hope you keep it for years! I sure miss my 91 LX sedan!

cool! I've got a '91 colony park; I've been doing a lot of work to it. Things it needed --everything rubber or electrical died of old age, and both the radiator and heater core were clogged-- and things it didn't need, like a subwoofer, tach, and HO engine ;-)

That look's like a sweet ride! :)

@LynolsOffice Do you know what LTD stands for? Luxury Touring Division. Anyway, sweet ride.

@LynolsOffice I have noticed up until like 94 or 95 is when they started to switch to plastic. I could be wrong on the years but it was somewhere around there.

They cut no corners - a serious car and the engine - well built to last. This car is built like a tank - practically bullet proof- nice buy!! You can't get anything like that now unless you want to spend $50,000.....

i like the bench seat seems like nothing has them anymore except some trucks

The older town and country wagons with the 4 rectangle headlights , the ones with wood grain down the sides, looks like this one but much better I'n my opinion, but this on is awesome too
