Vehicle Description
1949 Ford Woody Wagon. This 1949 Ford Woody Wagon is everything you
love about classics in one vehicle. It has the iconic '49 Ford
styling, classic wood sides, and cool Flathead V8 under the hood.
So the desirability of this one goes beyond just its extreme
rarity. 1949-1951 Fords have a place near and dear to 1950s custom
car aficionados. The bullet-nose of the new-for-1949 Fords is now a
thing of legend. So to have one look this good tells you there was
a serious investment in care and restoration. Plus, everything from
the big chrome bumpers to the delicate hood ornament shine like a
mirror. At the end of World War II, most Americans were rolling
around in cars built well before the war and many were badly in
need of replacement. It wouldn't be until the late 1940s, or in
some cases the early 1950s, that manufacturers would introduce new
vehicles. Most people didn't care, they were just happy to have a
new car, but some people waited a bit for something truly fresh.
Today, one of the most coveted, respected and collectible cars from
the 1940s is the Woody Station Wagon. The car gained its name
literally from train depots, which used big sedans hosting modified
wood bodies to transport large numbers of people and their luggage
to and from trains and depots. Manufacturers began building Station
Wagons to meet the interests of their family-minded clients and
customers who needed utilitarian capabilities. Few have survived
due to their working-class nature and wooden bodies, but those that
have command the interests of collectors and enthusiasts alike. One
of the most popular is arguably those from Ford. Ford actually
owned a mountain with a forest from which it was able to source the
woods used to construct the bodies, and most will agree, they are
works of artisan craftsmanship second to none with dovetail joints
and grain blending with few rivals. call or email us today to set
