Ford.

In the era that most people would think of when remembering the Country Squire(early/mid 70's, the peak of fake woodies), the CS was an option package on an LTD.

And the answer is 1989.

8. What territory did the Netherlands control prior to its independence?

Not sure what you're looking for here. It could be:

I think Suriname became independent fairly recently?

Forgot about Indonesia and the other Asian holdings.

Is Curacao independent?
