1966 Ford Country Squire. Our family's first new car. What fun we had with 5 kids on our long Sunday rides. The opposing rear seats made it easy for me and my brother to fight..... lol

[@michaelanderson1859]

We had a 67 Buick Sport Wagon with the rumble seat. 350 cubic inch. We lived on a dirt road. When we were late for Church, mom would sling backwards out of the driveway, slam into Drive, then punch it and throw a roostertail for a block. We got real quiet and held on for dear life. Actually kinda fun.

[@waynegouin939]

My Dad bought a new Country Squire in 1967. Magic gate, opposed rear seats. Eight children, and two adults, comfortably. White with tan interior, 390 4bbl. What a car. Massive woodgrain side panels!

I collected a 390 V8 and C6 transmission for a mste in my English Mk 3 Ford Escort van some years back.Made the steering very light! Beautiful cars at that show.

When i was 14 yrs old my grandad gave me his 1967 Colony Park station wagon I used to race it around a field which became a nice dirt track, after a while my brother joined in with his old rambler but he was no match for the 390 in my wagon.Those were the best days of my life so much fun .

Another great show Dennis as always . It was a joy to see ( @ 1:55 ) the white '68 Baccaruda at the start ,which reminded me of my fathers AHEM! Right Hand Drive ...with a 318/727 ( South African import to UK - brand new ....!!!) He used to run the UK Mopar Muscle Club way back in the late 70's / 80's . I loved laying in the back of it with the seat folded down looking up at the speeding stars as we came back from the Chelsea cruises ( '80's safety levels at minimum !! )

Very nice wagon. My Dad had one. He also had a Buick and a Chevrolet that had that Chevelle looking front end. That was one fast wagon. He took us to DisneyLand in 1980. My sister and I rode the whole way in the back. It did not have extra seats. Dad had some nice and cool wagons. We both had Mustangs in early 80's, he a 66 and I had a 67. At the same time we both had thunderbirds in 88. He had an 86 I had 84. Both where also sharpe cars. Best times of my life.

We had a 1966 Country Sedan white with a red interior. It even had the fold-down seats in the very back. Electric windows and miracle gate which dropped and swung open.

[@jonathan_nc]

My parents had a light blue '66 Ford Country Sedan. Our first station wagon. It had the rare "control center" pod under the dash with vacuum door locks, a low fuel light, a fasten seat belts light, a door ajar light and emergency flashers. One day before a trip I pushed the flasher light button and it stuck ON! Dad had to take it to a mechanic to cut the wires before we could leave on the trip. That car took us to Myrtle Beach, Florida and Six Flags. It had the 390 V8 that used premium gas. Dad traded it in on a new 1972 Ford Country Sedan.

[@fraserhenderson7839]

My girlfriends mom (Betty) had a heavily optioned 1969 Colony Park with a 429. It was a friendly giant! She was very generous with it. I may have loved the car as much as the girlfriend. The tires were utterly outmatched by the power plant. It would accelerate forever. It had a version of the bump defeating ride engineering that gave us so many mobile living rooms in the sixties and seventies. I would be thrilled to find a nice one today.

[@davidburman451]

Growing up my Dad always had big Fords ....with living room sized bench seats. Going out on a Friday night date was never better. I feel for the younger generation.....todays vehicles just don't lend themselves to "romance" the way a 68 Galaxie did 😻👍
