Vehicle Description
This 1950 Ford Country Squire Woody Wagon is where the true classic
car dreams all come together. After all, you have an iconic Ford
design that has the rarity of real wood. And this craftsman-built
car has a long history of good care and investment to keep it pure
rolling nostalgia.
A car like this is both substantial and stylish all in the first
glance. It centers around the real wood body lines. After all, it
gives the impression of classic sturdiness like a log cabin. And
when you see the level of artistry, right down to curves in the
glossy lumber, it gives everyone an immediate appreciation for a
body built by hand. Hawthorne Green is a 1950-correct Ford color,
and the clean, complete, and smooth presentation really helps tell
this car's story. We have info that shows this car was likely
restored twice - once in the 1980s and the other in 2020. It proves
there has been an appreciation for a proper woody wagon, and there
have been big investments to keep this one look great. In fact, the
recent restoration has a list that shows over $35k spent on just
the components and professional work. You see the difference in
this perpetual care in the good lines and bright chrome. And we can
absolutely understand why true enthusiasts have invested in a car
like this. It was the most expensive Ford when new, and thus, it's
the rarest. This also means it appreciates its history. This
classic Ford is not trying to be a hot rod, and so there is a
refreshingly honest impression that you see in everything from the
factory hubcaps to the distinct V8 logo on the bullet nose.
The real wood continues inside on places like the doors, side, and
cargo floor to keep the artisan feeling going. The station wagons
debuted in the coach-built car era were all about ferrying hotel
guests from the train station. So these always need to be both
robust and have plenty of space. That's why you have two wide rows
of seating and durable rubber floors. And while the split tailgate
gives you access to plenty of room for luggage, what it really
means today is a place to display the past awards, history notes,
and even the pedal car that comes with the sale. It's a cool
classic that you'll never be afraid to share with family and
friends. No matter how many people are along for the ride, you
always get that nostalgic tingle every time you slip behind the
classic Ford steering wheel with a distinct trim ring. And the dash
has a terrific look with the classic gauges, trim, and heat/defrost
controls. This likes to keep its authentic style right down to the
details. So the AM radio is still there for display, and the dome
light greets you when the door opens.
The 239 cubic-inch flathead V8 is instantly attractive with all the
correct copper color looking bright against the dark and tidy motor
components. The tall old bath air cleaner, generator, pulleys, oil
filter, and more are all part of the time capsule presentation. As
authentic as this looks, the investment was also about keeping this
a true cruiser. So the motor was rebuilt during the last
restoration. Plus, you have newer items like the exhaust and fuel
tank. There's even an upgrade to an electric fan, and if you plan
on taking this on a parade route, you'll be quite thankful for it.
This keeps you in correct contact with the road, but the driving
feel is a confident one. This is thanks to everything from the
control of the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission to
the modern touring tires.
The sale comes complete with Restoration photos, build receipts,
service manuals, maintenance records, the pedal car, and more. This
iconic wagon is a delight to drive and will always be welcome at
events. Call today!!!
