The 1946 Mercury Woody Wagon is a striking example of postwar
automotive craftsmanship, combining elegance, utility, and timeless
design. This particular example, a Model 69M, has been fully
restored to a high standard, showcasing the beauty of its wood,
steel, and interior. Its dark blue-green paint presents with a
deep, rich finish that pairs beautifully with the red interior, one
of only three color choices offered for these cars when new. The
exterior woodwork is in stunning condition, highlighting the
artisanal touch that made the Woody Wagon such an icon of its
era.
Power comes from a 239 cubic-inch Flathead V8, paired to a
smooth-shifting 3-speed manual transmission on the column. The car
runs wonderfully, a testament to both its careful restoration and
consistent upkeep. In 2017, the wagon received fresh belts and
fluids, a new top, polished and repainted fenders, and a set of
wide whitewall tires that perfectly complement its classic look.
Always garaged and recently pulled out of California, the Mercury
has been preserved in immaculate condition, both mechanically and
cosmetically. Included with the sale are many receipts and photos
documenting the restoration, further validating the quality and
care put into this remarkable Woody Wagon.
When new, Mercury's Woody Wagon was one of the most expensive
vehicles in the lineup, marketed as a versatile family car with
upscale appointments. Unlike other utilitarian wagons of the era,
the Mercury featured extensive hand-crafted wood construction,
blending practicality with prestige. In the immediate postwar
years, these wagons were coveted for their limited production,
artisanal craftsmanship, and ability to serve as both a workhorse
and a statement of status. Today, surviving examples are highly
prized by collectors, not only for their rarity but also for their
connection to an era when automobiles were as much about artistry
as transportation.
This 1946 Woody Wagon embodies that appeal with its California
provenance, thorough documentation, meticulous restoration, and
immaculate presentation. A beautiful blend of practicality and
luxury, it represents a true piece of automotive history, ready to
be enjoyed and admired.
