Underwent Six-Figure Concours-Level Restoration starting in July
2010
The current owner of this 1940 Ford Deluxe Woody informs us that it
underwent a multi-year rotisserie level restoration to transform it
into the outstanding vehicle before you today. Below are some build
notes on this gorgeous ride-
The Exterior
This 1940 Ford Deluxe Woodie Station Wagon was purchased by the
current owner back in 1999 from the 3rd lifetime owner. It was in
rough shape at that time but with a largely unblemished body, it
was the perfect candidate for a complete Concours-level
restoration. The next several years were spent gathering the
highest grade parts and accessories to make this example better
than new in every possible way. The body underwent countless months
of prep work so it was smoothed to perfection. Two-stage paint and
clear coat was then applied along with new chrome, the new cloth
top and of course the gorgeous Maple inserts both inside and
out.
The Interior
The interior of this 1940 Ford Deluxe Woodie Station Wagon received
just as much attention with the same quality body work and VDO
gauges framed in chrome and stainless, just like the rest of the
dash and the tilt column steering. Premium materials were chosen to
show subtle accents of sophistication without going over the top.
The ultra-premium Teas leather seating and German woven carpet give
this classic an extraordinary look with the highest possible levels
of comfort. The ceiling and side paneling is what clearly steals
the show, however, with phenomenal quality and stunning
craftsmanship. We have literally never seen a more impressive
build.
The Drivetrain
A look under the hood of this 1940 Ford Deluxe Woodie Station Wagon
is truly inspirational since the build quality rivals a modern
luxury sports car. The professionally built LS1 engine sits
perfectly with super clean wiring throughout. With ceramic coated
headers and a color-matched engine block, few builds can compare in
elegance or overall build quality.
Always Maintained at the Highest Possible Standards
Additionally, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Woodie 4 Door Station Wagon has
remained in temperature controlled storage since the final build
was completed. The builder/ owner informs us that it's been driven
approximately 6,400 miles since that time, mostly to exercise the
engine and keep this one in perfect running condition. It is
regularly serviced with fluid changes as well. Out on the open
road, this example performs like a brand new luxury sedan with
beautiful acceleration, excellent handling and an ultra-smooth ride
quality. There was no expense spared in any aspect of this build's
mechanicals and it could be driven cross country today.
In terms of its present condition, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Woodie
does not show any visible signs of wear to the exterior body, the
paint or the breathtaking interior. The body lines are exceptional
with superior chrome work and flawless wood paneling. We honestly
do not see a single aspect of this classic that can be improved on
inside or out- many would consider it absolute perfection.
Truly One of the Nicest, High End Woodies in the World
Overall, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Woodie Station Wagon is a true
investment-grade classic that would stand out even in the finest of
automotive museums. We have not seen a more impressive build
anywhere over the past decade and this example is likely priced too
conservatively for such a stellar build. For more information about
