There was a time when station wagons were the preferred form of family transportation. The styling of the Ford Country Squire is iconic because of the movie National Lampoons Christmas. The styling of the Country Squire was large and in charge, with lots of wooden paneling and white wall tires. Back then, this was what separated a station wagon from the rest of the pack, and the styling stood out (via Bring a Trailer).

Initially, these cars weren’t that popular among collectors, other than a movie reference, but that’s been changing. As more adults who grew up around these vehicles get older, they want nostalgia. The Country Squire will always be a popular station wagon, but that popularity is beginning to gain traction even more.
