My dad bought one just like this in 1954. I drove it on a date just when I was on leave from the Navy.

That '41 Merc Woody fits your image so well, Dennis. An awesome, original ride. Thanks for featuring these cool wagons.

That '41 Merc is worth its weight in gold...! It should be in the Ford museum.

Beautiful cars, Dennis! Great to see some woodies - and originals at that!

Really enjoyable show Dennis! I mean all of them! :)

90 degrees and snow on those nearby mountains?! Wow how awesome. Cars were nice too lol

The '49 Merc was the car of choice in the first season of The Mod Squad. I've always wanted one...

Now that's what I like; Wagons. Thanks for this, those do look like they're in mighty fine shape. :)

Even more appropriate, I was waiting for the Andrews sisters. Maybe even Benny Goodman If the owner turned the radio on back then, that's what they would have heard..

Great episode. I just found it while looking for information about the Ron Thorne car collection since I live in South Jordan as well. Now to try to contact Ron to pay a visit.

Good video! Keep it up!

HOWDY I FEEL LIKE I;M WATCHING THE MOD SQUAD LINK JULIE AND PETE DROVE A 49 MERC WOODIE TOO

I wish Dennis would have asked how the '41 was stored to remain so pristine.

Since it's all wood you can, at great expense, replace any of the wood. Or all of it. But the condition of the dashboard indicates it must have spent a lot of time inside.

you should have more subs than this 40k..

Love woody cars espicale jeep woody wills

The wood probably replaced metal because of the WWII effort. The roof resembles the plane and ship infrastructures that auto manufacturers used.

No, woody station wagons were already around for a long time. Car bodies before the later 30's used some wood framing still, so having so much wood was not as much of a stretch. They were expensive to make so kind of Range Rover of the day. The owner might have had a wood boat as well.

In the UK they are called estate cars, for obvious reasons. "Station wagon" goes back to a passenger wagon used to pick up or drop off a bunch of people at the train station.

I have 2 1951 Country squires and desperately looking for parts!

90 degrees with no air conditioning?

The door they are talking about is not solid it’s layered, with a little steam its not that hard.

I'm like 90 percent this was shown before.

No plastic in 41

KZread is the worse streaming service next to Tubi TV. As far as utterly useless adds. I cannot deal with this anymore.

KZread has become so difficult and unpleasant to watch. KZread owners are so money hungry. 'magine " how much $ they get from the advertising. They could care less about us.
