I think it was the fad there is another woody wagon coming up sometime in the future maybe when we do a Ford woody wagon talk about woody wagons in general I think it was a fad, like an automotive bad that stems off of war supplies.. dating back to world war 1. I think they built the wood bodies to save on steel, I did not shoot a Ford woody wagon yet but when I do we’ll talk about the lineage/history of Woody wagons cause I think Ford was the first one that started all of that I could be wrong though

Love the craftsmanship. The first series 49 Chevy wagons did have real wood (but much less of it). They switched to tin woodie design pretty early in the run. Mopar offered traditional look woodie wagons (but wood panels bolted to steel body) to 1950 and the Ford/Merc had structural wood to 51. Buick held out until 53 - though structural wood in the later FoMoCo and Buick was really mostly in the tailgate. Choice - 48 Ford, episode - Pierce Arrow.

Pierce-Arrow. Bezels on the headlights are supposed to be painted, though all the die-cast models have them chromed for some reason. Also believe the little grooves on the side of the headlight bezels are painted red. That hood ornament was a special higher-cost item; standard didn't have the clear plastic fin.

I love the uniqueness of the woodie. Glad you mentioned maintenance and upkeep. 😂 I recall seeing that rear end in particular, on the road in the late 50's/early 60's. For WYR ... the 48 Chevy Woody Wagon, seems the sleekest to me. Love the sleek lines. For the request, I go with the 36 Pierce Arrow. Again, sleekness and style of the time. Thanks Jay.

But much like building cabinets all you have to do is build one and they get easier the more you build them issue is the people that have these cars now they didn’t work in the factory so they don’t know how to build it.

Hiya Jay, I was reflecting on the engine specs. It seemed to offer the worst of both worlds, with a very poor power output, and dreadful fuel economy simultaneously. Trying to merge onto a freeway, you would get there by next Tuesday, which must have been considered acceptable for the day? It would compare very favourably with a Jeep Wrangler, if it had a lawnmower engine fitted to it, but the callow youth of today would probably flog the beast to death in very short order I suspect?
