This 1930 Ford Model A woody wagon is a true eye-catcher because it brings a craftsman level of style to an already desirable classic. And nice updates everywhere from the seating to the overdrive gear makes this more fun to enjoy without taking away from the very vintage atmosphere.
You can't help but take a little extra time staring at a vehicle made with real wood. The glossy lumber instantly lets everyone know this car is more than just another one from an assembly line. And this has the right look of a craftsman build with well-fitting joints and an even gloss across the panels. Even without the wood body, this one has an attractive style. The maroon paint complements the black on the fenders. The wire wheels, fender-mounted spare, and full vinyl roof cover really gives this a detailed classic style.
The look of lumber continues inside. The doors, dash, and roof beams all look quite nice. And there are great vintage details, like the sliding window panels and the bright gauge panel. There are also plenty of stylish additions, like the side mirror and flower vase. Plus, the velour seating is absolutely comfy. But above all, these were built as work vehicles. The "station wagon" name has its roots in taking hotel guests to and from the train station. And you can still see those roots in the large cargo area with a split tailgate to load the really big stuff. We doubt you'll be lugging back any steamer trunks anymore, but it does make it easy to bring a cooler, chairs, and plenty of supplies to the car shows. And you will be showing this one off, because it was really made to be driven.
Model As have Ford's 201 cubic-inch motor, and this one has a clean look that will have you lifting the cool butterfly hood wherever you park. Because this one was built to be a driver, you can see it has been kept up over the years. You'll even spot a handy upgrade to an alternator. The motor runs well, and the clutch and three-speed manual transmission have a clean action to make driving nice. And there's even an upgrade to a manually engaged overdrive to really make the most out of your gears.
