Highlights
- Original 239cu (3.9-litre) flathead V8 engine
- The vendor states the wood is excellent throughout and the chassis is very solid
- Retains all original period details, not modified as these vehicles often are
The Appeal
The 1948 Ford Woody Station Wagon is one of the most iconic American automobiles of the post-war era, with its distinctive wood-bodied construction and classic styling making it instantly recognisable and highly sought-after amongst collectors. This example is unusual in that it remains unmodified, powered by the original 239 cubic inch flathead V8 paired with a three-speed column-shift manual transmission.
According to the vendor, this woody presents in very good condition throughout. The paintwork is described as good, whilst the wood - often the Achilles heel of these vehicles - is reported to be excellent with no cracks. The vendor states there is absolutely no corrosion on either the body or chassis. Inside, the upholstery is described as very clean with no rips, tears or scratches, all interior wood is clean and crack-free, and all gauges are reportedly working. The vendor informs us that it runs and drives great, shifts nicely, and is easy to handle.
