1974 Ford Country Squire

For 1974 5 mile per hour bumpers were added to the rear of the Country Squire, a transistorized ignition system was introduced, as well as a new hood ornament. In addition the 429 V8 was dropped, largely replaced by the essentially identical 460 V8. The LTD Country Squire was among the longest and heaviest station wagons Ford ever produced, with the longer 5 mph bumpers adding over six inches in length. The Country Squire was the top level Ford station wagon, distinguished by woodgrain bodyside trim.
