Vehicle Description
The woody was the most expensive and the least popular Chevy for
1947. They built a total of 4,912 but you hardly see any Chevy
woodies like you see the Ford woodies. This one is all stock
looking on the outside and inside. Behind the scene it's updated.
Just installed a new crate 350 Chevy engine with lots of chrome and
polish. 350 turbo automatic transmission. Rack and pinion power
steering. Mustang front clip. Front disc brakes. This is a real
solid Chevy. It was built new in Oakland, California. A little more
history - The man I bought it from lived in San Diego and bought
the car there. He moved to Seattle about 1994 and had the late
model running gear installed here. He then moved to Victoria BC in
2004. The wood was in very bad condition so he spent $88,000 to
have the wood replaced. I have the receipts. What you have to
remember is there was no wood kit for the '47 Chevy, so it was all
done by hand. The only wood reused was the headliner wood strips.
The wood is impeccable. He moved back to Seattle and did not have
room so I bought the woody. Again the interior is all stock and in
very good condition. I did see minor spots on the seats. Has gauges
under the dash. Temp, oil, gen. and fuel. Am/FM CD radio in the
glove box with 4 speakers and 10 CD changer. I have driven it a lot
when the weather is good. I have taken it to different shows and
Friday nite get-togethers. The ride is stiff but it feels good. I
installed new Coker wide-white radials, they look better. I really
like the stock steering wheel and plan to have it resorted. It's
one fun wagon to own. 1947 CHEVROLET FLEETMASTER WOODY WAGON Cond.
