Paul from PA Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 There was no Buick candy available the last few days and what's a fella to do? Well I strayed and bought a Ford. It was a one family owned car. I bought it from the original owners daughter. She said her dad bought it and took her and her mom and cousin on a trip to the national parks. I found park tickets in the glove box. It has original paint and interior. It has a set of Montgomery Ward tires on it that will be replaced It's not a Buick but figured it would bring back memories for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 That is an absolutely nice 65! I think you got yourself something as good as a Buick. There's noting wrong with Fords of that era.You need to post more photos.Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 1965 was a "quantum leap" year for Ford and Mercury. Some drivetrain items carried over, but not much else. First year for the "dual action station wagon tailgate", the super-lux LTD model (with what was called "panty cloth seat fabrics), full coil suspension, AND the Ford that was "Quieter than a Rolls Royce". Finding a non-Country Squire with not much optional equipment is a true find. Most of those wagons were "used and discarded", typically. This makes a rarer model even moreso. Congrats!

michel88 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It's a very nice looking 65 Ford and in very nice condition. A great find and a very usable collector vehicle. I bought a new 66 Ford 7 litre convertible that I wish was still with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Well aren't those just the coolest rear seats! Great car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 That crisp angular styling sure sets it apart from all the look-alike jelly beans we have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doug Burton Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Had a '68 LTD wagon with those same seats. I remember riding around with all the kiddos back there. Made conversation up front much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
