Oct 57 Squire woodie trim dropped, replaced by chrome strip, Escort unchanged. Sept 59 Squire stopped completely; Escort upgraded with chrome side strip and sliding windows (in effect it became the Squire). Apr61 Escort stopped. I can't read the plate to date either for picture or in footage, but the colour is late.
