Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
Just discovered this interesting thread on 2 door wagons and it reminded me of many years ago when I got to drive a 4 door Ford wagon. I think it was a 62 or maybe 63. At the time (1971) it seemed like an old car to me. Not sure if it had the 352 or 390 but I was expecting a real powerhouse driving it home from the city. I guess it was feeling it's age already as it was not real snappy performance.. Needless to say I wish I had it now but I was only piloting it home for a friend who soon sold it. Not even a picture to show. So here is an ad for a 1958 Del Rio two door station wagon.

Canadian 1957 Meteor Two Door Ranch Wagon, but the Side Chrome Trim is different to the above picture on the original Sales Brochure? |

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
Same car but different trim levels. The AD shows a NIAGARA 300 RANCH WAGON.
... or ... The second photo has side trim from a US RANCH WAGON. ... or again ... Look @ 2nd ATTACHMENT below - Hard to call w/o FORD of CANADA Reference Materials ... Quote:

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
This is the same car as in the previous photo. In reality, this Wagon is either a USA Ford Two Door Ranch Wagon with a Canadian 57 Meteor Grille, or a 1957 Canadian Meteor with the Side Trim from a USA Ford Ranch Wagon. It is still a very nice car. |

Case in point, the 57 DEL RIO had the same BODY CODE as the one step down exterior trim level.

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
1957 US Ranch wagons had two different body codes. Base Ranch Wagon was 59A and the upgraded Del Rio was 59B. I assume the Canadian Meteor had two trim levels too.

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
I've seen the picture of this car in two different places. I thought only the lowest models had the "planes" on the quarter panels. And...I've never seen a wagon with the behind the wheel trim. I think someone added the behind the wheel trim. Am I right? Or wrong?

Cover - 1959 Ford Station Wagon Brochure. Notice that the Fairlane Wagon didn't have this rear quarter Trim? |
