This 1969 Ford LTD Country Squire just sold for $15,000, and that’s a deal.

This isn’t just any wagon; it’s a nostalgic nod to the iconic 'Wagon Queen Family Truckster' from *National Lampoon’s Vacation*. With only 31,000 miles shown (though it’s listed as TMU), this six-passenger beauty is powered by a 390ci V8 engine paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. That setup gives it a solid mix of power and usability. The custom modifications—like those eight headlights and the woodgrain trim—add a quirky character that appeals to fans of vintage cinema and collectors who want something different.

Now, let’s talk numbers. The bidding was pretty active, with 30 bids rolling in before it landed at $15,000. Given the fair value estimate of $22,000, this sale came in 32% below that mark. So, when you break it down, the price is not just fair; it’s a steal for a car that’s both fun to drive and a piece of pop culture history.

The community was buzzing about the sale. One comment stood out: “Good Bidding! You’re gonna have some smiles for miles.” That sentiment captures the excitement around this unique ride pretty well.

For anyone on the hunt for a similar car, keep an eye on the condition of the modifications. Custom touches can add charm but may also raise questions about quality and craftsmanship. Make sure those modifications enhance the driving experience rather than detract from it. In this case, the Country Squire checks all the right boxes, making it a noteworthy piece for any collection.
