1936 Ford Model 68 Woody Station Wagon
Lowrey Frame-Off, Nut/Bolt Restoration
Gorgeous 1936 Ford Model 68 Woody for sale. One of 7,044 produced for the model year. An exhaustive, thorough restoration by Jim Lowrey was completed in 2014, and just 34 miles have been added since its completion. Throughout these 7 years, over $140,000 and countless hours were spent on this jaw-dropping, complete frame-off restoration. (Invoices available upon request). Lowrey's Antique Auto Restoration is family owned and operated for over four decades boasting award winning cars from Pebble Beach to Hershey, Pennsylvannia. Restoration progress photos are available on their site at https://www.lowreysautorestoration.com/photos/peterson36/p36wagon.html
The engine compartment was restored to brand new. Its rebuilt driveline and Flathead V8 221ci 3.6L start, idle, and run beautifully. The 3-speed non-synchromesh transmission shifts smoothly through the gears. The brakes, suspension, and steering are excellent and perform wonderfully as new. This is an excellent, fully sorted, and wonderful-performing example.
The exterior is stunning, with glassy paint and outstanding attention to detail, including trim, chrome, wood, glass, and rubber. It rides on a restored set of steel wheels with proper caps and rings and a set of proper 6.00-16 Firestone Deluxe Champion Gum-Dipped Whitewall tires. The wood is beautifully finished throughout, and the vinyl top is as new.
The interior was restored to its original glory with a proper faux wood dash finish, a restored steering wheel and interior switches and components, and new upholstery, panels, cards, and matting, making for a very impressive and comfortable environment. It has a working speedometer, odometer, temp, amp gauges, horn, and lights. Currently, the trip meter does not work. I've also observed that with 4-5 gallons of fuel, the indicator is showing under 1/8th of a tank. Otherwise, the rest of the systems will be in good working order.
This remarkable example is arguably the most beautifully restored '36 Woody available on the market. It would be a perfect addition to any discriminating collector's portfolio.
