Mr. Jalopy of Hooptyrides can pass up no car that speaks to him, in a manner we're picturing as that guy who voices over movie trailers ("In a world, where..."). His latest addition to the Hooptyrides fleet is a 1965 Ford Country Squire. Thought not likely ever owned by a true Squire, country or otherwise, it's got an aura most would be unable to articulate. But damned if most are not Mr. Jalopy.
The 1965 Ford Country Squire is for desert rats, for night snake hunters, for amatuer naturalists, for Gila Monsters, for dark highways and most of all, for hope. As evidenced by the faded glory in the back quarter glass, it is an automobile for Americans ...
Driving this car, you enter into different world of heavy iron Americans. Not classic car buffs, but bare knuckle fist fighters. Everytime I get in the car, I immediately want to take my shirt off and pour a can of Coors over my chest.
It reminds us of the time we thought of quitting our job, moving to New Mexico and raising Armadillos out of an old Airstream trailer. If we'd only had one of these -paneled wagons, we may just have pulled the trigger, metaphorically of course.
