The
classic lines of the Ford Squire were picked out by a delicate wood
trim. Sadly the Squire was not a major success for Ford as it was up
against stiff competition from the Hillman Husky and the Austin A30 and
A35. When the Ford Squire was tested a top speed of just under 70 mph
was recorded and it took 20.2 seconds from 0-50 mph. Fuel consumption
was something in the region of 35 miles per imperial gallon.
The
Squire and Ford Prefect also shared a common interior trim and various
other components in the design. When the two vehicles were compared
side by side however the Ford Squire was smaller than the Prefect and
henceforth also shared much in common with the popular Anglia 100E.
The Ford Squire was sold only in the UK between the years of 1955 and 1959. The
Ford Squire featured a simple estate design with two doors allowing
access to four seats inside. It was comparable to the Prefect 100E and
in fact the two vehicles shared an engine; this 1172 cc Sidevalve
engine was capable of outputting 36 bhp.
