I just got an email from Diecast Direct that my long ago pre-ordered '67 Country Squire has shipped. I'm very eager to see it.

I haven't got the shipped confirmation yet from ToyCarGeek yet - I hope it is soon.

Excellent news!
The Goldvarg 1967 Country Squire wagon has to be the most anticipated resin model of all time!
I think it will sell out fast.
I have one coming from Diecast Direct but I haven't heard from them yet.

Update: After not receiving an email from Diecast Direct for either of the 2 Goldvarg models I purchased from them, I decided to look at my credit card account, and sure enough, there is a charge for one of the models posted on July 25th, which should be the 1948 Pontiac 4 door fastback and a pending charge for today which should be the Country Squire wagon.
Although Diecast Direct states they will send an email when a model ships, I have not received an email for either of these 2 models, so if you don't get an email, check your credit card account.
I am very surprised that Sergio hasn't announced the release of the Country Squire wagon after being bombarded with questions about it's release since he announced it 3 or so years ago.

This happened to me once. I ordered a Brooklin model from them, which their website site said would take an additional 7-10 days. No email, but the model arrived in a reasonable time.

It finally arrived and I was delighted to find that the tires feature a white stripe width-appropriate for 1967......unlike those on the prototype. That's right, I'm one of those people. I passed on the '64 Chevy for that reason.

Yup, got mine today also...I would have had it on Friday if it didn't get lost and then found again by USPS.
I also got the 1948 Pontiac 4 door fastback.
Here are some teaser pics, but better pics on the way when I have more time.
I am still amazed that Sergio hasn't announced the release of the Country Squire wagon yet on his website, facebook page or on this forum yet.

My Country Squires arrived today as well. The Pontiacs arrived on Saturday. The Mercury Park Lane Sedans came too. All six models are exquisite. Not sure when I can find time for photos, but I will ASAP.

Well, since no pics of '67 Goldvarg Country Squire Ford have been posted, I'll go ahead and post mine.

The Ford Country Squire (later the Ford LTD Country Squire) is a series of station wagons that was assembled by American automaker Ford. The premium station wagon of the Ford division, the Country Squire was distinguished by its external woodgrain trim. From the 1950 to 1991 model years, eight generations of the Country Squire were produced. Following the discontinuation of Edsel, Mercury marketed the Mercury Colony Park as a divisional counterpart of the Country Squire, sharing bodywork and trim.
As part of the full-size Ford model range, the Country Squire was the station wagon counterpart of several model lines. For its first two generations, the Country Squire was based upon the Ford Custom Deluxe (and the Ford Crestline that replaced it). For its next three generations, the Country Squire was a distinct model range; initially sharing its trim with the Ford Fairlane, the Country Squire later adopted trim of the Ford Galaxie. For its final two generations, the Country Squire became a counterpart of Ford LTD (the Ford LTD Crown Victoria after its downsizing).
The Country Squire was discontinued as part of the development of the 1992 Ford Crown Victoria. Following a decline in full-size station wagon sales, the Crown Victoria was introduced exclusively as a four-door sedan, leaving the Country Squire with no direct replacement. As of 2019 production, Ford does not sell a sedan-based station wagon in North America. The 41-year production run of the Country Squire is the third-longest of a Ford car nameplate in North America, surpassed only by the Ford Thunderbird (46 years) and Ford Mustang (56 years, currently in production). For the 1965 model year, the full-size Ford model line underwent a complete redesign with an all-new chassis. Alongside the introduction of the Ford LTD, the Country Squire was a counterpart of the Galaxie 500 model line alongside the non-woodgrain Country Sedan (alongside the standard Galaxie).During the production of the sixth-generation Country Squire, wood-trimmed station wagons (in simulated form) underwent a revival in production. Previously exclusive to Ford and Mercury from 1954 to 1965, counterpart station wagons entered production during the end of the 1960s. For 1966, Chrysler reintroduced wood trim for the Town & Country station wagon (and for the first Dodge Monaco station wagon). General Motors introduced wood trim for the 1966 Chevrolet Caprice Estate and in 1967 for the Buick Sport Wagon and Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. As part of the 1968 introduction of the Ford Torino and Mercury Montego, a Torino Squire and Montego Villager station wagon were introduced with woodgrain exterior trim.As the LTD became a full model line for the 1968 model year, the Country Squire became its station wagon counterpart, with Ford adding "LTD" badging to the hood.

When compared to the prototype photos Sergio posted, the final result is definitely thinner in waist, but MAYBE the hood and trunk are slightly curving up at their ends,
or maybe it is just my cheap phone optics got it wrong.
