Ford Woody 1929
General description :
1929 Ford Model A Woody Station Wagon/Depot Hack
29 was the first year for the woody station wagon body style from Ford.
This one, which is believed to wear it's original wood, is a Murray bodied car and still carries it's original brass tags. The metal hardware is all original as well.
The engine is coded as a 1931 and as such is not original to the car. The odometer reads just less than 48000, also believed to be actual miles. It is equipped with a waffle type exhaust manifold which indicates it would have had a heater set up and the taped up hole in the firewall shows that was probably the case. The owner doesn't think he has the heater set up though.
Although there is surface rust beneath, there is no rot on the car.
The lacquer paint on both the hood and fenders shows some cracking.
While I might clean things up a bit, give her a good cut and wax job, put new tires on her and clean the interior up a little more, I'd enjoy her just as she is in full original patina.
Very solid, she would be a great foundation for a full restoration if someone was so inclined.
The engine starts right up and runs and drives easily. The brakes work great for rod operated drums and there is a new front leaf spring fitted. Lights work, gauges work.
The seats are a heavy duty vinyl and are done how they would have been in the 30's.
The car has been maintained with oil changes and regular lube jobs along with replacement of needed items like the front spring.
There is a small hole in the top that does currently allow water in but that can be patched without too much difficulty.
I'd say the only thing this car needs to be road ready, overall, would be new tires, the current units are either bald or dry cracked or both...
Asking price is $18,000 or best offer.
Any questions, for many more photos and video, to schedule a time to see in person or to make an offer, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks for the interest.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
