A Ford Turbo Wagon?

The 1965 Ford full size line was all new with a “torque box” frame and the first rear coil springs on a Ford. The wagons even included a trick aerodynamic gimmick to keep the tail gate glass clean. But why is there a turbocharger INSIDE this ’65 Country Sedan? Watch and be “blown away”.

[@roger628]

Hi it's that guy again. The Ranch Wagon was actually the base model. In fact you said so yourself when you pulled out the brochure. The Country Sedan was the next step up before the Squire. The Ranch wagon had trim equivalent to the Custom. The Country sedan was trimmed like a Custom 500. However, there was a "Deluxe Trim Group" as an option that included the Squire interior, plus backup lights and a clock. This example obviously lacks it. On a different note, couldn't the yard owner have found a Chevy wagon to store the Corvair mill? :)

We had a blue on blue 67 ford country squire wagon with a 390 growing up. We camped alot and pulled a 50s canned ham trailer behind it for yrs. The We got a 17ft box style trailer that we had for yrs. Such great memories of that wagon and the camping trips! The key for it was really neat too, looked like a crown!

[@nsidor1234]

I believe the Ranch wagon was the base model and the Country sedan was mid range with the Country squire being top of the line... I grew up riding in the twin facing rear seats of a '67 Country sedan with the 289 2v and three on the tree.

[@edwardpakula7084]

Hello Steve! I have thoroughly enjoyed your presentations on these great '65 Ford vehicles lately - thank you!! At 3:18, the brochure shows the type of models available. The Custom sedan, shown at the top left corner, was our family car. It was black, 4-door sedan, red interior, 3-speed column shift, 352 T-bird engine; it was a former police car - no roof light; quite possibly a detective's car. My late father bought it in 1967, for $1,200 CDN, which was a good chunk of money back then. I still remember every detail of that car; damn, it could move!! As usual, spot-on presentation, well-researched! Thank you for this "blast from the past"!!

Steve, Thank you for featuring the 65 full size Fords. Brings back memories, my folks bought a 65 Country Sedan wagon to haul our family of five boys, they were the “mini van” of their day. My 1st car was a well used 65 Ford Galaxie 500, Those were the days…

Nothing wrong with a base model Love those paint too match rims 🙏🥰 Wagons were great cheap impromptu vans Never knew those D Pilar vents were actually functional , and served an aerodynamic purpose

[@googleusergp]

Looks like there was a respray at one time as there is overspray on the valve stems.

[@albertgaspar627]

what he didn't make clear, the d pillar vents were to keep the rear window clear of road dust. If you have a fibreglass cap on the back of your pickup bed, you soon find that its rear window collects dust due to being a low air pressure area--the space right behind a car "pulls" air rushing down the sides back into the area. My 1975 Pinto Country Squire wagon had a "spoiler" on top of the rear window to collect air and send it down into this area to create turbulance.

[@Damone7653]

@@billlewis9740 I knew Earl from kindergarten, he was quite the finger painter.

[@erroneouscode]

@@albertgaspar627 It wasn't only for dust. People frequently drove with the rear window down, as well as there never being a 100% effective seal around wagon tailgates. Without those air deflectors exhaust gas isn't as effectively dissipated, or at least diluted. Must have been fun for the kids in the back in the days of 3rd row seating.

[@albertgaspar627]

@@erroneouscode true, i live in the snowbelt region, so windows closed and without a wiper option looking out the back window was like driving at night with sunglasses. but during the summer that window would be open (pre AC days, many wagons had white roofs to reflect the heat hitting such a large metal surface) and the kids would get gassed otherwise...now combine that with facing backwards so your equilibrium watches the world in reverse...and you get car sickness. better the rear seats that face sideways. back during car show season i was looking at a country squire wagon a few years "sooner" than this one in the video, and the owner still had the Ford checkers set that came with it. it hooked into the floor so it was between the third row sitting facing each other (like old military troop deuce and a half troop carriers), and being a metal surface, each checker was magnatized and had the country squire logo cast into the top. good luck finding one on ebay :) he also had the old "scotchguard" coolers, with little cans sized like hunt's tomato cans that you'd freeze the night before to act in place of ice cubes. the big wagon was close to stock with just mustang bullitt rims on it, and he'd show the young kids how the rear door worked.

[@patokeefe5489]

Hi Steve, One thing that made the 65 Ford full size wagons different from 66 is the two way tailgate. In 66 you could open it like a door, or open it down like a pickup tailgate. GM also had this feature a few years later on their up model mid size wagons up to 73. Then it was gone until Honda used it on the Ridgeline pickup

[@Sean0526a]

actually the two way tailgate, thou introduced in late 1965, was first on the 1966 models. They were not very different in styling from the 65's but the tailgate feature started there.

A little love for the wagon! Loved when new, then scorned by baby boomers like me😁, then finally being appreciated and loved again! I wonder if the younger generation will feel the same about the mini-vans that they grew up in? And your police brochure shows why we called them 'cop car caps'. The 'poverty caps' and 'dog dishes' nicknames were to come later, where I lived. 'Bottle caps' was a term I heard back then. All your soda pop and beers were available in glass bottles. Just bring your Church Key!

[@throckmorton8477]

I also remember reading or hearing the ' bottle caps' , 'cop caps' , or even 'taxi-cab caps' terms back in the day. Never heard "dog dish' or 'poverty caps' until the late 1970s. The rebirth of the then 'supercars' into the now commonly called 'muscle cars' was also another change in terminology!!

So glad to see you highlighting these old classic American cars. The Country Sedan was not the "base" model wagon, that was the Ranch Wagon. The Country Sedan was the middle model in the Ford line-up. I always thought of them as Country Squires without the faux wood. I think the wheels and hubcaps look like base model stuff because Full Wheel Covers were optional, as were heaters, turn signals, radios and seat belts. Maybe the buyer was trying to save money on this "company car."

[@rupe53]

turn signals were NOT optional in that era. Somewhere in the mid / late 60s heaters were also mandated. Due to safety concerns the govt decided we needed a defroster for rainy days... even if you lived in California or Arizona.

[@albertgaspar627]

VW made such a minor change that almost nobody caught it. Just an extra 2 inches of lens with almost the same housing.

No VIN, can't win, but might be something like: 5 for 1965 model year, maybe G for Chicago, IL assembly, possible 72 for six passenger Custom four door wagon, maybe C for 289 V8 with two barrel and the rest is the production sequence. No tag can't brag, but might be able to be figured out, no doubt: 71B for Custom sedan six passenger four door wagon, O for Tropical Turquoise exterior paint, among other codes. The Chicago, IL plant still exists today and is located at E 130th Street and Torrance Ave in Chicago and opened in 1924. Yes, old brochures are great. I have them for everything from the original 1960s Magic Chef and GE appliances for my house to my 1960s Craftsman toolboxes. The old literature was really informative without all the "puffery" of sales talk. While they would tout the virtues of the product, there was solid information for the owner of the product. Over the years, I've added the original parts books to my literature as well which makes tracking down parts a breeze, especially for older equipment. Most companies don't realize that they still have parts for older items, because it's "not in the computer" or our "books don't go back that far". Yet when you supply a part number, they can then trace that through and often find the part number is still valid or that it has been superseded to something else that will fit and function correctly. So yes, old literature is key to learning more about old equipment and keeping it going for many more years to come.

[@georgerenton965]

Back in the late 60’s, I was still in high school, my older brother moved back home for a short period. At that time he was working for a nationally Well advertised short time finance company. Part of his work involved repossession of chattels. This included cars. Anyway, one of the vehicles he was driving for awhile was a Mercury Colony Park wagon. I was in 4 year tech at high school, this wagon had a 410 cid engine. I could see all the top end gaskets where new, so assumed the owner was in hock over the rebuild. Tried to talk my dad into buying it, but that was a non starter. On another occasion brother was driving a Firebird, 350 cid with the tach out on the cowl, or was it the hood. I’d get up for school extra early in the morning and while bro was still asleep I’d go for a drive around the neighbourhood to get in some driving practice. Never owned a wagon, but I always thought they would be cool to have. My first car was a $150 at auction 64 New Yorker. To this day, I still consider it to be the most beautiful thing I ever owned. ( car wise that is ) they don’t do styling like that anymore.

[@daveridgeway2639]

Hi Steve, nice video! The Ford full-size wagon(s) the "Ranch Wagon," or Custom 500, you might say, was the basic, black rubber floor mat, no trim moldings, inside or outside and no stainless steel door window frame moldings and small hubcaps, mostly taxi and police. The next trim level was the "Country Sedan wagon" or Galaxie 500, you might say it had full carpet, full moldings inside and outside and full wheel covers. The Country Sedan that you profiled, with the small hubcaps is a "first" for me. Next up, was the highest trim level the Country Squire, or "Galaxie 500 LTD" you might say, It had wood grain sides, the most sound insulation, nicer upholstery and the most interior trim. LTD, stands for "Luxury Trimed Decor." The rear side wind deflectors was also to keep exhaust fumes out of the passenger compartment when the rear tailgate glass was lowered. In 1969, Ford went to a overhead air deflector that was mounted to an optional luggage rack, as did GM and Chrysler. Back in the 1960s and the 1970s, the full-size station wagon was Fords best selling full size car, out selling GM and Chrysler about two to one, (in full-size wagons) In 1966' Ford was the first with the two way tailgate. Please reply. Dave...

Then my gf at the time stated that both of our families attended the same church and that we were going to early morning mass before we both went to work (we worked together). After that, I was golden. So much so, when we no longer went out, she said to her daughter, "He was such a nice young man, why aren't you going out with him any longer?"

Heck, sometimes you couldn't even tell by the clothes that the girl in question wore. I knew some definite (from personal knowledge 😁) "bad" girls that dressed ultra conservatively, and drove very "granny-ish" cars that their parents had. (One such girl was even a preacher's daughter. She played the part well, when anyone was around. But alone, in private... you would have thought that she had been raised in a cathouse!😂) And (again from personal knowledge) I knew some definite "good" girls who dressed like hookers, and drove their parent's muscle cars.😁 In my very rural area of Kansas, a fella just had to "play the cards he was dealt".😂

The idea of directing wind toward the back window was to try to break the suction or negative air pressure on the back window. If you were to open the rear window while driving it could or would suck in the exhaust gases from the tailpipe. Some folks call this the "station wagon effect" you can read all about it.

I would be willing to bet Steve just made a couple of sells for the salvage yard, l wouldn't think there is a lot of corvair turbo engines still available

[@josephmayotte8879]

I thought the Ranch Wagon was the base model. And yes, some upper line models came through with body color rims and base hubcaps.

Can't wait for some "Lockjaw" merchandise and I've been missing that red flannel

[@ddellwo]

Oh - that would definitely be a cool logo for the channel…….👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Enjoyed!!!! 👍👍

You can really tell that this is the super deluxe Flash Bazbo edition because of the ultra-cool body-colored wheels.

I'm not even a Ford guy, but I would love to have that wagon, the blue one. and leave the patina the way it is and get it back on the road.. I'd drive it every day.

Hi Steve, great video on the Ford wagon. I feel like this one could have run up 10-15mins longer. Sorry, I'm really partial to wagons.😎 There looked to be 4 sitting there, and I mean sitting 2ft into the ground! There's gonna be spillage when it comes time to pull that Corvair engine out. Of the Ford wagon that is. Lockjaw the Junkyard Crawl mascot. That sounds like a shirt or mug in the makes. I hate hounding the idea. Steve, I know you're super intelligent, but merch man merch! I'm sure I'm not the only one on the channel asking. Maybe a cartoon figure of you with a magnifying grass🔎 and detective hat crawling in a yard or some rusty vehicle. Maybe someone a little more creative can come up with a better idea or logo. Maybe a collection of fender badges and hood ornaments with a cool Junkyard Crawl logo. I think someone had the idea of an image of a 57 DeSoto tail section with a logo of some kind. I'm a businessman and entrepreneur. I'm always thinking of how your dollar needs to be in my pocket. 🤔 Legally and fair, of course.😆 No, I'm just kidding around. When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous. “The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.” Have a blessed day, everyone. Namaste 🙏🏼

[@chrisscearce]

Yes I won! These guys are on every ch I've visited in the past few days. I mean more than usual. Stay clear of this w'abbit hole. Namaste 🙏🏼

Hi Chris, always glad to read your comments. I'm with you on the idea of offering "merch" and do have plans to do something a little later. I ascribe to the idea: "crawl, walk, run". I'm still crawling. Oh, and THANKS for ignoring the "telegram scam" junk email raid. It seems to hit every couple of weeks but I think most Internet users are savvy enough NOT to fall for it. I never ask anything of Subscribers other than to please tune in to each new video. I dig your philosophy and share your views. I'm 58 and wish I was in this mind set many years ago. In my 20's my head was on fire. But with each passing decade, as the smoke cleared, life got better. My "craziest" time was the 17 years I spent living in Los Angeles. I was Tech Editor at Hot Rod magazine and had a 31 mile commute every day to and from my home in El Monte to the Hot Rod offices on Wilshire Blvd. Each trip took TWO AND A HALF HOURS. No wonder I was insane. So after 17 years of living in extremely overcrowded Los Angeles, "I did my part to make it better...I left". OK, Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante
