The Ford Country Squire was produced only as a two door, eight passenger car with Woodie trim. This example is outfitted with a 239 cubic-inch L-Head eight-cylinder engine capable of producing 100 horsepower. It has a three-speed helical gear set and synchronizer manual gearbox.
For 1951, the Country Squire was the second lowest produced vehicle in the Ford Model Lineup with only 3.7 percent of the sales. This means they are highly collectible in modern times.
Woodies require extra care and attention as they are more susceptible to the elements. Their wood bodies often rot, warp, or become a meal for termites.

World War II put automobile production on hold. Production ceased in 1942 and resumed in 1942. When production began, most vehicles offered by marques were basically carried over from pre-War development. It was not until 1949 until Ford began offering new designs. They featured simple lines that were clean and well integrated into the body. In the front was a dramatic and artful bullet nosed grille.
The Custom Deluxe Series was introduced in 1950 and would continue for a total of two years. The Custom Deluxe Crestliner two-door sedan was Ford's top-of-the-line offering and included chrome window moldings, chrome horn rings, armrests on all doors, and two sun visors. Needless to say, there was chrome at nearly every available location. Two engines were available, a six- and eight-cylinder unit. The L-head six-cylinder unit produced 95 horsepower while the L-head V8 produced 100 horsepower. The standard gearbox was a three-speed manual; an optional three-speed manual with automatic overdrive was optional
The cars rested on a 114-inch wheelbase and passenger cars measured 196.6 inches. Station wagons were slightly larger, measuring 206 inches.
The Crestliner was a two-door special sedan that had a vinyl top covering. There was extra chrome, special steering wheel, full wheel covers and special paint.
