Whichever Ford it is, it's another '66. -- Last edit: 2008-07-26 07:05:39 |

Could be a Country Sedan, I believe those were based on the Galaxie. |

Does that mean we should start renaming all the Galaxie wagons as Country Sedans? |

That would be appropriate, yes. -- Last edit: 2008-08-01 19:22:51 |

Ford built several full size station wagons. Ranch Wagon (cheapo model) , Country Sedan (mid range) and Country Squire ( top line model with wood grain paneling on the side). Skywatcher is correct no big Ford wagons were actually called Galaxies or Customs for that matter, The above models did correspond by trim however. |

On the 66 Ford full-sized wagons, both the Country Sedan and Country Squire had a hood ornament (the Ranch Wagon did not). From this view, the grill is the only clue as to which one it is. The Country Squire had the deluxe diecast grill (shared with the LTD, Galaxie 500/XL and 7-Litre) which had large turn signals next to the upper headlight and simulated driving lights next to the lower high beam lights. The plain grill on the Ranch Wagon, Country Sedan, Custom, Custom 500, and basic Galaxie 500, had small thin turn signals at each end of the space between the upper and lower parts of the grill. The one in this picture appears to have the plain grill, which coupled with the hood ornament, makes it a Country Sedan. |
