In 1955 an estate car version of the Prefect was introduced, marketed as the Ford Squire and mechanically identical to the contemporary Escort, an estate car version of the Ford Anglia 100E, but with wooden strakes and a higher trim level. The windscreen wipers were powered by inlet manifold vacuum; when the engine was working hard the vacuum fell away and the wipers slowed or stopped. It had a 1172 cc side valve engine. The Prefect was the four door counterpart of the Ford Anglia, built by Ford UK.
