1952 Ford Country Squire

The 1952 Ford Country Squire is a full-size station wagon highly regarded for its iconic woodgrain paneling, a hallmark of the “Woodie” style. It is powered by a Ford Flathead V8 engine with a displacement of 239 cubic inches, generating approximately 100-110 horsepower and 193 lb-ft of torque. The vehicle is equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission, with the Ford-O-Matic automatic option available on some models. Performance metrics include an estimated 0-60 mph time of 15-20 seconds and a top speed of about 80-85 mph. The exterior is distinguished by woodgrain side panels, originally made from real wood but later using Di-Noc vinyl. With a wheelbase of 115 inches, a length of 197.8 inches, and a weighty presence, it was designed with families in mind. The 1952 model marks a major redesign for Ford and is notable for its limited production of just 5,426 units, contributing to its rarity.
