Museum Quality Restoration w/ Outstanding Curb Appeal
This 1942 Ford Deluxe Station Wagon was acquired by the current
owner back in 2012 as a typical driver-quality classic with nice
body lines. It has three previous owners before him and an
incomplete history, so we're not sure where this rare example was
originally sold. We do know that this was one of the impossible to
find examples that were produced before Ford shut down on February
10th, 1942 to assist in the 2nd World War. Approximately 3,400 of
this rare model were produced.
The Restoration Process
The restoration process began almost immediately after the current
owner took possession and started with stripping it down to bare
metal and restoring the shape to true perfection. A 1946 grill and
hood were installed for improved appearance and then show quality
paint was applied both inside and out. This classic also has brand
new chrome including the headlights/tail lights, pin striping, the
bumpers and additional accents. You'll also find outstanding Maple
and Mahogany exterior wood paneling that literally takes your
breath away; the exterior of this classic Woody is flawless down to
the smallest of details.
The Incredible Interior
The outstanding interior of this 1942 Ford Deluxe Wagon is just as
impressive with gorgeous flowing hardwood across the entire
roofline and side panels. The dashboard almost steals the show,
however, with sensational chrome work with subtle wood inserts and
VDO gauges. The custom leather is also imported and placed on top
of the line Teas custom seating for unparalleled comfort. It is
truly rare to find a classic that appears so period correct yet has
a modern feel- the build quality is exceptional and one of the
nicest we've ever seen.
The Updated Drivetrain
Equal attention was paid to this 1942 Ford Deluxe Wagon's
drivetrain for both sizzling performance and appearance. As you can
see from the photographs, the engine compartment is very nicely
dressed with chrome plated accessories and smart wiring. Air
conditioning, power steering and power brakes were added during the
build along with the Mustang independent front suspension and the
Ford read differential. The fuel injected LT4 engine sounds
excellent through the side-mounted exhaust pipes and this vehicle
is an absolute pleasure to drive.
Out on the open road, this 1942 Ford Deluxe Woodie 4 Door Station
Wagon drives like a brand new vehicle as it glides down the
highway. The acceleration is excellent and the transmission shifts
smoothly, with plenty of horsepower and torque when needed. The
steering and braking power are also excellent so it would be hard
to top the overall build quality from a performance perspective.
Driving this classic is pure enjoyment and with modern fuel
economy, there are truly no limits to how this example can be
enjoyed.
Must See in Person to Truly Appreciate
Overall, this extremely rare 1942 Ford Deluxe Woodie 4 Door Station
Wagon could be the premiere example nationwide and the
collectability is off the charts desirable. This classic would be
an excellent investment for any serious collection since its true
museum quality with modern enhancements. For more information about
