The Ranch Wagon name remained in the series through 1968, the next year the Torino name replaced Fairlane. In 1969, the lowest cost/trim wagon would have been the Custom Ranch Wagon, but most fleet cars I saw were the slightly ($64) more expensive Custom 500 wagon. I have no idea what the differences were. So being a fire dept car, this could be a Ranch Wagon or a Custom 500. CORRECTION: Ranch wagon stayed a model of the full size cars through 1977. The next year it seems ALL full-size Fords were called LTD...so the lower trim levels would have been called LTD wagons, leaving the Country Squire as the high trim level (and wood side) car. -- Last edit: 2010-10-21 22:12:10
14stutz ◊ 2010-10-21 20:48	It would be a Custom 500 wagon (base trim level). Upper trim level would be Galaxie 500, then top of the line LTD Country Squire wagon (with wood sides). Can someone update listing?
