Vehicle Description

1929 Ford Model A Woody Wagon

There's something timeless about early Woody wagons, perhaps because they represent a time when craftsmen, not robots, built cars. Their upkeep requires a bit more commitment, (and a bit more elbow grease), than with steel bodied cars, giving owners more reason to spend time in the garage. When production of the Model A ended in March of 1932, there were 1,507,132 of the 1929 Ford Model A's of which only 4,954 Model A Station Wagons were manufactured.

For consignment, a 1929 Ford Woody wagon showing 9,584 miles which are not actual. Inline four cylinders were the typical engines in 1929 and we've seen restorations with the trusty Chevy 350, Ford 302's and 351's, but this attractive wagon has something else up its sleeve.

Exterior
A fine shaded of Olive Green adorns the metal parts of the body, including the fenders, grille shell, and running boards and it's a fantastic match for the natural wood tones of the cabin and wagon end. The rubberized textured roof is robust and in great condition, while the wood presents with a natural finish, more understated than those high gloss woodies you might be used to. Gaps are mostly minded like well crafted Amish cabinetry and the chopped and tinted windows provide some sleekness to the wood brick. A slight rake to the car is provided by 15-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels in argent gray with polished rims and deeply staggered tire sizes. Metalwork and paint are generally good with imperfections noted that include areas of bubbling on the hood where patches of small, acne-like bubbles are seen, some cracking paint, a chip, and an imperfect gap in one wood panel.

Interior
Charcoal gray vinyl covers the door with a simple layout that includes an electric window switch while two tone gray cloth seats provide all of the seats available. A vintage steering wheel wears a Ford branded vinyl cover and shares the tilt steering column with an Autogage tachometer, all leading to an olive green dashboard with center instrument cluster with GBI Precision units in a more modern iteration of the clover leaf center panel of vintage Fords. A Shelby GT shifter knob tops the floor mounted shifter, just behind the polished hand brake in a black leather boot. Black carpet is neatly in place and round pedals are provided for brake and clutch. In back, a roll bar is mounted leaving plenty of room for cargo between its braces, and interior wood is smooth and honey colored and extends as planks along the ceiling and is in beautiful shape.

Drivetrain
Behind the vented engine covers is a Nissan 2.4 liter DOHC I4 in clean, driver condition with a 2-barrel carburetor and 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the 10 bolt rear axle. Brakes are configured as front disc and rear drum.

Undercarriage
She's clean and dry underneath with almost no surface rust to speak of. The single exhaust runs through a turbo muffler, then dumps under the car with the tailpipe currently secured by a wire hanger, a quick fix that's been around for as long as wire hangers have existed! Suspension consists of a 4 bar and transverse leaf spring in front and a 4 bar with coilovers in back.

Drive-Ability
The Nissan power lives up to its reliability reputation and is a quick starter and we row into first gear and roll this cool looking wagon onto the test loop. There's good power but despite the roll cage and fat meats on the back, this is more cruiser than bruiser and the cabin will comfortably support your cruising aspirations. She runs straight and true and all functions on board operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Here's an attractive hauler that has the best parts of Ford, Nissan, and GM and combines them to offer boundless good times ahead. The large cargo area will serve well to hold your cooler and folding chairs, but also luggage for long trips, car parts, and swap meet finds! Pop open the rear window and hang some surfboards out the back for the ultimate Pacific Coast Highway poster car! Hey, how you use it is up to you, but no matter what, this one will provide miles of smiles wrapped in a wooden box.
