Just got her home, ‘47 Woodie that was available actually in my area. The car you want is usually across the country...drives really great, overall a very nice original wagon...

Really nice, best of luck with the new lady

JSeery · 03-13-2020, 03:06 PM

Very nice!

RalphM · 03-13-2020, 03:15 PM

That is a beautiful car! More pics please.

Digger · 03-13-2020, 03:52 PM

Will get more pics out this weekend. Needs a few tweaks, it is a driver. The bolt on driver side hood hinge is a modern bolt that is way too long and most likely cross threaded. Needs new bolts on the passenger rear fender to farthest back wood section, and only wood I will work on is replacing the inner door panels. They are currently some type of 1/8” pressboard and want to get them back to close to original looking. But she cruises on the highway just fine.

Wow, that "wood" look nice in any drive way...congrats !

That's a real head turner, nice color.

RobR'35 · 03-14-2020, 08:47 AM

Very nice looking car.

Sweet. The kind you only find once in a lifetime.

Saw that advertised on the V8 Club classifieds. Nice score.

corvette8n · 03-15-2020, 07:26 AM

Great looking woodie, do these cars have leather or plastic seats?.

Digger · 03-15-2020, 09:00 AM

Yes this is the one from EFV8 site.

Ibelieve originally the seat covers were leather, my car has vinyl, good news is it has all three bench seats. Often the rear one is missing, taken out to fit more stuff, and then lost or forgotten. It has been raining all weekend so unable to get it out for maiden voyage and photos yet.
