The demise of Fords largely hand built wood-bodied station wagons was imminent in the years after World War II but there was still a short reprieve while artisanal methods and individual craftsmanship persisted to meet the nearly insatiable demand for new cars after the war. Based on Fords late generation of prewar cars, these beautiful wagons were built for only three years, 1946-48. This example, one of just 16,104 built in 1947, in blue with brown leather upholstery has been restored to highly presentable standards as an excellent weekend driver. It has three-row seating, whitewall tires, hubcaps, trim rings and an exposed spare mounted on the tailgate. The paint, chrome, wood and interior all are very good. The power and distinctive exhaust note of Henrys 239 cubic inch, 100 horsepower, flathead V-8 is an intrinsic element of its charm so the modern radio is largely redundant. This is a very pretty car in great running and driving condition ready to drive and enjoy .
