1931 Ford Woodie Delivery Station Wagon 255A-V8 The right parts after years of collection produced and extremely high caliber 50’s style vehicle with superb styling, design, and finish. The Pro Built body is made of the exact types of wood Henry used. The sub floor is white oak, the plywood is 7 layer spiral cut non-seamed birch and the remaining trim wood is hard maple. The stain is a very light mellow, natural tone. The finish is a 2 part Fuller Plast epoxy urethane, 1-1 mix, which gives a very high build of clear depth on the wood, filling the grain in entirely. This enables it to be block sanded out whip straight, giving it an extremely durable yet flexible finish. The moldings on the Woodie body are 1932 Ford style. The rear fender moldings which would normally have finger joints are each sawn out of 1 piece of wood into 1/8” strips that are steam bent around a buck jig. Each piece is numbered, then put back together so the grain matches. This gives the final effect of one piece of wood wrapping around the rear fenders. The body has also been shortened in length by approximately 6”, which produces handsome flowing lines that bring the body to life. The door jambs are just as meticulously cleared and sanded as the outside of the body. All exterior metal is painted in PPG Concept urethane and buffed to a flawless finish.

The rear storage area opens to encase the spare tire, jack and jack handle. This area also gives access to the lift out filler hatch for the cap to the gas tank.
