Default Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons

[QUOTE=scicala;1572365]When I looked closely at the picture of the blue '60 Courier that you posted in post #80, I could see there didn't appear to be a 2nd row seat, and also it appeared the front seat was only on the driver's side. I realize these are actuall artist drawings and not photos, but still usually accurate.[QUOTE]

To my knowledge, none of the Courier wagons had provisions for a back seat as these were marketed as haulers and appealed to Mom-n-Pop grocers, Newspaper/parcel deliveries, Floral deliveries, Coroners offices, Police departments, etc.
The Couriers each probably came from the factory with a city bus drivers seat only, however a full bench seat from a 2-door car could have been ordered and installed by the local dealer.
I don't recall ever seeing a Courier with exterior trim options back in the day other than a luggage rack on the roof, but they might have had a variety of electrical/lighting options for police and fire departments.
