Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis presents this 1985 Ford Country Squire LTD Wagon.
Step back into a classic era of American family travel with this 1985 Ford LTD Country Squire. As the flagship wagon of the Ford lineup, the Country Squire was designed to offer a premium, smooth-riding experience that remains a hallmark of the Panther platform. Finished in a clean White exterior with the signature wood-grain accents, this wagon provides a nostalgic look paired with the mechanical simplicity of a mid-eighties V8.
The White paint provides a bright backdrop for the iconic simulated wood-grain paneling that defines the Country Squire nameplate. This 1985 model features the formal, upright grille and squared-off styling that signaled luxury and stability. The exterior presentation is a tribute to the long-roof tradition, offering a recognizable silhouette that stands out at local shows and gatherings.
Under the hood is the 302 CID V8, an engine celebrated for its long-standing history and dependable performance. This small-block provides the steady, quiet power necessary for effortless cruising, whether the vehicle is loaded with gear or out for a Sunday drive. The engine is mated to an automatic transmission, ensuring a relaxed driving experience that prioritizes comfort. The inclusion of power steering and power brakes makes managing this full-sized wagon a straightforward and pleasant task.
The interior is finished in a coordinated Blue, offering a vast cabin with the kind of seating room rarely found in modern vehicles. The dashboard and controls are laid out with a focus on ease of use, featuring the straightforward instrumentation of the era. With its generous cargo capacity and plush upholstery, this Country Squire serves as a capable cruiser for those who appreciate the "living room on wheels" philosophy of vintage Ford luxury.
The 1985 LTD Country Squire represents one of the final decades of the full-size, body-on-frame station wagon. This example offers a unique opportunity to own a vehicle that is both a functional tool for road trips and a preserved piece of automotive Americana. It is an ideal choice for the enthusiast who values the comfort, utility, and distinct personality of a classic American wagon.
