Largest Ford ever?

I'm was wondering what the largest car (not truck) that FoMoCo ever mass
produced. I'm guessing the answer is the styling travesty that is the '58
Lincoln, but wouldn't rule out the 70's Mark IVs. And an honorable mention
probably goes to the those County Squire station wagons.

Actually I think it was one of the Mercury Marquees 69 or so was 19
feet long or sumpen like that.

My offhand vote would be the 1967 Ford wagon that my next door neighbors
bought. $4777.77. I always thought the window sticker had to be made up
to get that price.

I think I read that the ~58 Lincoln used as the basis for the 1967
Batmobile was the largest two door car that Ford had produced.

I thought the 1960ish Lincoln was the largest.

"What, sir, is the use of militia? It is to prevent the
establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. . .
Whenever Government means to invade the rights and liberties of
the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order
to raise a standing army upon its ruins." -- Debate, U.S. House
of Representatives, August 17, 1789

My guess would be the 70s Town Car (bigger than the Mark IV).

The longest wheelbase of any production lincoln was 145 inches.
The last 145 inch lincoln produced was the 1940 Model K LWB. 133 Model
Ks were built in 1940, some of which were 136" wheelbase.. At least
one, the "sunshine special" used as a parade car for presidents
Roosevelt and truman had a 160 inch whealbase.

From1958 to 1960 Lincolns had 131 inch wheelbase.1960-63 wheelbase was
123 and total length was 213". 1964-67 had 126" wheelbase and the 67
was 221" long.

The largest Ford branded vehicles produced in quantity were the1969 to
1978 full size Fords at 121 inches. Bumper to bumper length was 225".
The Mercury that year was larger at 229" overall. The Ford was 79.5
inches wide, and the Mercury and lincoln were 80".

In 1965-67 the Merc had 123" wheelbase and overall length of 220.4"
for some '65-'66 models.

I wasn't aware that Packard ever made a V16. Cadillac and Marmon made V16's.
Packard made Twin 6's, or V12's...

As for the largest Ford-branded car [Not Lincoln or Edsel or Mercury] it
would
have to be something like a '76 LTD or a '60 Galaxie...

My dad had a '62 Ranch Wagon that sat 46 people and required its own zip
code. We had to buy a second car to use as a tug to get it in and out of
the garage. Dad sold it to a developer who turned it into condos.
