White paint, woodgrain trim and a red cabin give this Country Squire a vivid mid-century family-wagon identity. The seller describes long-term California history and largely original paint, making preservation evidence the interesting question here. It earns a place for its specification and presentation—not for the speculative celebrity story attached to the advertisement.

The chassis number and mileage are not established in the available listing text. Verify the title, preservation claims and structural condition.
