or blow your next door neighbor away with this totally optioned out 'family truckster'. Clad in faux wood, this 1961 Ford Country Squire has the brand new "Thunderbird 390" V8 which came in 3 versions of up to 375 hp. The model has all sorts of operating features including working gas filler door, but was still stuck with dog leg hinges. It came with a load of family fun accessories and seemed the perfect model to display with the Airstream Travel Trailer. Having owned a '61 Starliner in my college days, I always hoped TFM would do that model also. One added cute feature is the key in the ignition with a TFM fob.

John, your pictures make the car look so real.  This was one of my favorites as well.

Love this wagon!  I ordered it as soon as I saw the mailer.
