1951 Ford Country Squire Woodie Wagon

This 1951 Ford Country Squire Woodie Wagon comes from the final year of real wood wagons from Ford, and is powered by a 239 cubic inch flathead V8 backed by a 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission. The present color is believed to be close to the original shade, though it is a modern metallic paint rather than the stock enamel. The finish on the wood is uniform, and not excessively glossy. The carâ??s brightwork is mixed, with bright chrome on the bumpers, grille and wheel covers, and more aged brightwork on the side badges, mirror, and other trim. The cabin retains correct hardware, including the radio and instrumentation. The dash and window surrounds are painted with a faux wood pattern, and the door panels are a wood laminate. This two-door wagon affords three rows of seating, with a narrow middle bench giving access to the rearmost seat. Power comes from a 239 cubic inch flathead V8 backed by a 3-speed manual transmission. The painted surfaces show a light patina, and some correct stickers are still present.
