Vehicle Description
For those captivated by the spirit of a bygone era yet yearning for
modern comforts, this 1949 Ford Custom "Woody" Station Wagon is a
rare gem that marries classic styling with modern engineering. This
resto-mod Ford is a nod to a time when "woodies" were a cultural
icon, while seamlessly blending in features that make it ready for
today's roads. Known as Ford's first "shoebox" design, the 1949
Custom set a new standard in automobile style, with smooth lines
and a silhouette that still turns heads. The iconic wooden panels
of this classic have been expertly restored, displaying a richness
that emphasizes craftsmanship from a golden age. And while the
exterior pays tribute to the past, what's under the hood makes it
an unforgettable ride.
Powering this "Woody" is a late-model 302 cubic-inch small block V8
with performance upgrades, offering both the thrill of a classic V8
and the dependability of modern engineering. This powerhouse engine
is paired with an automatic transmission, making it a smooth and
easy drive for any road trip. Power steering makes handling a
breeze, a rare find in a classic car, and the front power disc
brakes provide stopping power that's reliable and responsive. Plus,
the 12V charging system supports all modern electricals, allowing
you to add your favorite accessories or even keep your phone
charged on the go. The radial wide whitewall tires add a dash of
nostalgia while enhancing road grip and stability.
The best of this Ford is in the details. It comes equipped with
ice-cold air conditioning, a rare feature in a classic car,
ensuring you can cruise comfortably no matter the season. The Crown
Victoria rear and turn signals bring additional stability and
safety, making this Woody a roadworthy blend of the old and the
new. The restoration, completed around 2002, has been meticulously
preserved, maintaining that classic feel while still showing
beautifully, with only minor signs of age. The result is a timeless
car that captures attention wherever it goes.
Inside, you'll find a carefully restored, beautifully crafted
interior that's rich with vintage charm. The seats and upholstery
are in excellent condition, showcasing a tasteful blend of modern
and classic aesthetics. Accompanying the car is a restoration photo
album, providing a visual journey through the vehicle's meticulous
transformation. It also includes an original owner's manual and the
original sales receipt from its purchase in 1949, making this a
collector's dream and a true piece of American automotive history.
Originally a Texas car with its second ownership in Arizona, it's
been lovingly cared for in different climates, and since 2004, it
has belonged to a passionate collector in New Jersey.
This Ford Custom "Woody" is more than a car-it's a statement of
style, history, and the unmatched joy of classic car ownership.
Ready to enjoy, it combines timeless beauty with modern
convenience, offering the thrill of a vintage experience with none
of the compromises. Perfect for a summer drive or adding to a
collection, this Woody is as fun to drive as it is to admire. Don't
miss the chance to make this stunning piece of automotive history
your own.
