Vehicle Specs

For those captivated by the spirit of a bygone era yet yearning for modern comforts, this 1949 Ford Custom “Woody” Station Wagon is a rare gem that marries classic styling with modern engineering. This resto-mod Ford is a nod to a time when “woodies” were a cultural icon, while seamlessly blending in features that make it ready for today's roads. Known as Ford's first “shoebox” design, the 1949 Custom set a new standard in automobile style, with smooth lines and a silhouette that still turns heads. The iconic wooden panels of this classic have been expertly restored, displaying a richness that emphasizes craftsmanship from a golden age. And while the exterior pays tribute to the past, what's under the hood makes it an unforgettable ride.

Powering this “Woody” is a late-model 302 cubic-inch small block V8 with performance upgrades, offering both the thrill of a classic V8 and the dependability of modern engineering. This powerhouse engine is paired with an automatic transmission, making it a smooth and easy drive for any road trip. Power steering makes handling a breeze, a rare find in a classic car, and the front power disc brakes provide stopping power that's reliable and responsive. Plus, the 12V charging system supports all modern electricals, allowing you to add your favorite accessories or even keep your phone charged on the go. The radial wide whitewall tires add a dash of nostalgia while enhancing road grip and stability.

The best of this Ford is in the details. It comes equipped with ice-cold air conditioning, a rare feature in a classic car, ensuring you can cruise comfortably no matter the season. The Crown Victoria rear and turn signals bring additional stability and safety, making this Woody a roadworthy blend of the old and the new. The restoration, completed around 2002, has been meticulously preserved, maintaining that classic feel while still showing beautifully, with only minor signs of age. The result is a timeless car that captures attention wherever it goes.

Inside, you'll find a carefully restored, beautifully crafted interior that's rich with vintage charm. The seats and upholstery are in excellent condition, showcasing a tasteful blend of modern and classic aesthetics. Accompanying the car is a restoration photo album, providing a visual journey through the vehicle's meticulous transformation. It also includes an original owner's manual and the original sales receipt from its purchase in 1949, making this a collector's dream and a true piece of American automotive history. Originally a Texas car with its second ownership in Arizona, it's been lovingly cared for in different climates, and since 2004, it has belonged to a passionate collector in New Jersey.
