Imagine an alternate universe in which the SUV never annihilated the big Detroit station wagon, a universe in which Ford dealers stocked row upon row of gleaming new '08 Country Squire wagons. Would faux-woodgrain siding still be available? And how many cupholders could you fit in a Squire? Sadly, most of the original Squires have long since been crushed; here's one that managed 36 years before landing in an East Bay self-service wrecking yard. Still, it looks like it has yielded up some useful components, enabling other big Ford wagons (or at least LTDs) to live a while longer.
