1959 Ford Country Squire

This 1959 Ford Ranch Wagon is a four-door example that is said to have been sold new in Yakima, Washington, and underwent a refurbishment that was started under previous ownership and completed after it was purchased by the seller in 2016. The car is finished in two-tone green over brown vinyl, and power comes from a replacement 223ci inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Equipment includes cut front coil springs, rear lowering blocks, air shocks, a receiver hitch, a trailer brake controller, Torq Thrust wheels, a clamshell tailgate, a Bluetooth stereo, snakeskin-pattern interior accents, and a fold-down rear bench seat. Service performed in 2024 reportedly included the installation of a replacement fuel pump, ignition coil, spark plugs, wires, a distributor cap, condenser, and ignition points as well as a valve adjustment. This Ranch Wagon is now offered at no reserve with spare parts and a Washington title in the seller’s name. Delivered from the factory in Tahitian Bronze and Colonial White (KE2), the car is said to have been stripped and repaired with replacement passenger-side floor panels before it was repainted in two-tone green using single-stage acrylic enamel paint in 2018. Equipment includes an aftermarket grille insert, fender-mounted mirrors, a clamshell tailgate, and a receiver hitch. Chips in the windshield are noted by the seller, and a factory grille insert is included in the sale and can be seen in the gallery. The 15″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels feature polished lips, and they are mounted with 205/70 Douglas All-Season front and 225/70 Toyo Extensa rear tires. A set of four steel rims and chrome Ford hubcaps are included in the sale. The suspension has been modified with cut front springs, 2″ rear lowering blocks, and rear air shocks. The car is equipped with a trailer brake controller, and stopping power is provided by a dual-circuit master cylinder and drums at all four corners. The cabin features a front bench seat that was reupholstered in snakeskin-patterned vinyl with pleated inserts under the seller’s ownership. Snakeskin-pattern door panels are also fitted, and insulation panels on the floors and ceiling were installed along with black carpets. Additional equipment includes an under-dash Bluetooth stereo, front and rear lap belts, and a fold-down rear bench. The AM radio is disconnected, the car is not equipped with a headliner, and torn upholstery on the rear seat can be seen in the gallery along with included headliner bows and spare upholstery. The bronze-painted steering wheel fronts a matching steel dash housing a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. An 8k-rpm tachometer and Sunpro coolant temperature gauge are mounted beneath the dash. The five-digit odometer shows under 13k miles, approximately 6k of which were added under the seller’s ownership, and it is said to have rolled over. Total mileage is unknown. The replacement 223ci straight-six is said to have been rebuilt and installed under previous ownership. A replacement carburetor and a battery were installed in 2023, and a valve adjustment was performed in 2024 along with the installation of a replacement ignition coil, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, condenser, and ignition points. An oil leak is noted by the seller. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The transmission is said to have been rebuilt under the seller’s ownership, at which time a replacement clutch was installed and the flywheel resurfaced. A replacement fuel pump was fitted in 2024. The serial number reveals that the vehicle is a 1959 Ford Ranch Wagon built at the San Jose, California assembly plant and powered by a 223ci inline-six equipped with a one-barrel carburetor.
