About the Ford Country Squire Blue MCG 1:18

TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast reproduces the 1960 Ford Country Squire in blue, giving America's classic woodie wagon a cooler-toned body colour than its more common cream or yellow finishes. Diecast construction handles the Squire's chrome trim and simulated wood panelling, a subject rarely stocked by mainstream diecast ranges.

Blue is not the colour most people picture on a 1960 woodie wagon, and that alone makes this particular Country Squire worth a second look on the shelf.

A Cooler Palette on a Familiar Shape

Blue body paint sits differently against the wood-look decal panels than the warmer tones usually associated with this car, giving the chrome trim and the wood grain more visual separation rather than blending into a single warm-toned whole. The Country Squire's flat, expansive door panels leave little room to hide tooling inconsistency, so straight, crisp shut lines along the doors and tailgate matter more here than on a curvier subject. MCG continues to be one of the few diecast manufacturers willing to produce full-size American wagons in 1:18, and offering the same car in more than one body colour gives collectors genuine choice rather than a single take-it-or-leave-it finish. Interior appointments stay modest at this tier, consistent with the accessible pricing the segment commands.

A Shared Heritage With Its Yellow Sibling

Built from the same 1960 full-size Ford redesign, this Squire carries the same wood-panelled styling tradition as its more commonly seen yellow counterpart, a look Ford maintained across decades of American wagons long after genuine wood construction disappeared.

Colour Choice as a Collecting Strategy

Owning both colourways side by side makes a genuinely interesting display point, showing how much a single body colour can shift the character of an otherwise identical casting.
