1959 FORD SQUIRE, ENGLISH FORD ANGLIA STATION WAGON

Auction is a for a 1959 Ford Squire, door station wagon.

TheFord Squireis a carfromFordfor theUnited Kingdommarket built between 1955 and 1959.

Car is in very good condition with the original paint and interior. Engine starts right up, dles smooth and almost can't hear it run. Transmission is a 3 speed on the floor. Transmission shifts fine and car drives down the road with no problem., ngine is the original 4 cylinder flat head engine putting out about 36 horsepower. It will cruise along at about 50 to 55 miles per hour but it is not a speed demon. not a high speed cruiser.

No matter where we take this car it draws a crowd. People always want to know what it is and how unusual it looks. The word cute is mostly used. Car is actually higher than it is wide. My wife has been the primary driver and loves the attention this car gets.

Within the last 3 years several maintenance type items have been performed on the car, aking it a reliable driver to go to local car shows. Gas tank was removed and cleaned. Fuel pump and carburetor were rebuilt. Complete tune up of engine. New battery and motor mounts. Brakes were rebuilt and tires are about 5 years old. Parts for this car are readily available since it shared most of the components with the Ford Perfect sedan. There is a parts dealer located in the US and I will pass that information on to the new owner. Car comes with a maintenance and repair manual and several pieces of original literature.

There is some damage to the drivers side front fender. One of the previous owners had a tree limb fall on car. Dent was pushed out but in order to maintain originality car was not repainted. Interior is all original except for new floor mat installed last year. Seats show some wear but no tears. All glass is good. New rubber for windshield and rear window were done last year also.

Ford Squire is ready to go, eeds nothing to be enjoyed as is. Only one at local cruise ins or car shows.

This Ford was originally sold new to a person in Massachusetts where it was used on Nantucket Island as a summer car only. From there it was sold to a person in New Jersey who only used it during the summer months. Eventually it found its way to North Carolina.

I purchased this car from a person in Hendersonville, st1>North Carolina. The car has less than 48,000 original miles and still has all the original parts and engine. This was the last year of the flat head 4 cylinder engine with a 3 speed manual transmission. Engine displacement is 1172 cc or 71 cubic inch producing 36 horsepower.

The BritishMotormagazine tested a Squire in 1955 recording a top speed of 69.9 mph and acceleration from 0-50 mph in 20.2 seconds and a fuel consumption of 29.7 miles per gallon. The test car which had the optional heater cost $1,870 US dollars including taxes in 1955.

The Squire is a two-door, our-seatestatedesign. The rear seat can be folded flat to convert from a four-seater to a load carrier. Until 1957 there were wood trim pieces screwed to the sides of the vehicle.

The Squire competed in the same market segment as the Hillman Husky and theAustin A30 / A35 based estate: these were significantly more popular in the UK.
