It's a special name and mascot reserved for just one community. The name comes from the old Ford plant in Kingsford that once produced station wagons starting in 1931.

MINOCQUA - Pretty soon little ghosts, goblins and ghouls will hit the streets expecting tricks or treats.
However, some families may take their kids to church or club festivities as a safer way to celebrate.
Some of those places could actually attract convicted nonviolent sex offenders.
"[Kids] can't defend themselves at that age," said Minocqua vacationer and grandmother Donna Davies.
Davies thinks Halloween is a time to keep an extra eye out for sex offenders.
"With sex offenders you need to be super cautious," said Davies.
In Minocqua, there are no laws keeping nonviolent sex offenders from attending youth groups, children's activities and even boy scouts meetings.
"The public thinks sex offenders are a threat to public safety," said Minocqua Town Chairman Mark Hartzheim.
He says sex offenders are always around, but trick or treating can get dangerous.
"They're there and we don't always know they are there," said Hartzheim.
