I went to my personal library of car data books and pulled out "The Production Figure Book For U.S. Cars" by Jerry Heasley copyrighted 1977. According to it, in 1963 there were bucket seats put in both 6 and 9 passenger full size Country Squire wagons. The 6 pass had a body code of 71G and there were 437 built. The 9 pass code was 71H and there were 321 built. There is no mention of a special name such as XL Wagon or anything else for these cars. The book only shows them in 1963, not '64.

I can remember seeing one at a Ford dealer in 1963. Was with my uncle while he was car shopping. It was on the used car lot. They said it was a demonstrator, which today is called a factory exec car.

I have heard stories of a 427 wagon being built at the Dallas Galaxie plant but never could pin down anyone who actually saw it.
