Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

I am rather excited for my recent purchase. I have always dreamed of owning a 1933-34 Station Wagon, and that dream came true this week. I haven't been this excited about a purchase since I was lucky enough to buy my 1932 Phaeton from one of my dear friends.
The previous owner was Jerry Grayson, whom as many will know was a well respected V-8'er and true asset to the V-8 Club and the Hobby. It will likely sit for a while until funds are available to finish it. I hope to eventually get it up to a Dearborn Award quality car, as Jerry would have wished. Jerry's family was very gracious in allowing me to purchase it, and they plan to be there the first time it is shown, even if it's ten years down the road. Until that point it will sit in my garage with it's new friends. If only they could learn to reproduce at night!

As a interesting tid-bit, it is Body #2999 of the 3004 1934 Wagons produced.

You should be excited, that was a wonderful buy. 1933-1934's have always been my
favorite.

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Few restoration projects will give you greater satisfaction (and relief) than the completion of a wood-bodied wagon. Have fun!

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Very cool. Have fun. Even crank up The Beach Boys. Lol. Mike

Glad it went to someone who will bring it back to it's potential.
I love the Cordoba Grey.

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Trust me, he's busy enough. Wish I lived closer to help him out.

There's really nothing quite like finally finding and buying "the Ford of your dreams'!!! And, as noted above, looks like your new woodie is in fine company!!!



Your will enjoy!!:):)

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Great find and purchase Michael.

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Now you need to join the National Woodie Club, P.O. Box 82886, Lincoln, NE 68501. Due's are $40 and you get the "Woodie Times" magazine with membership. Start building that great car!!!

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Great patina. I'd drive it as is.

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

My dad restored a '28 Station Wagon when I was around ten. I went all over the place in the back of it. I've loved them ever since. All kinds of little
brackets and goodies that are unique to the woody. Nice sheet metal on that woody.
If it going to be 10-year's before you start on this project you should plant some birch and maple trees now! You might wan to add onto the garage too. There is always going to be one more car you can't live with out.

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Very nice Michael!! I know your very busy, but a little work here and there whenever possible will eventually get it done.

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Looks great Michael! From one good home to another.

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon

What a great purchase. Looks very solid, and being one of the last Model 40 Woodys made makes it extra special. It looks right at home in the garage with its siblings. Regards from "down under".

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Thanks for the comments! I have 4 other projects ahead of it, but it will have it's day!

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

NO! do the Woodie first!!!

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Fantastic find! So glad you're the next caretaker. Knew Jerry from the local V8 club.

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Congratulations Mike to a car we never saw here in Sweden as far as I know. In this hobby we all plan for an age of 125, at least I do, so good luck!

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

This car went to the right home. I'm glad to see it went to someone that is capable and competent to restore it to like new condition. Thanks also to the Grayson's for making this car available to Micheal.

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

A 1934 Ford Coupe was my first ride. Since I was born in 1936, I was wrapped in my blanket and placed in the package tray, or so I was told. That was my Child seat! My Dad kept the coupe until 1940 when he traded it in on a new Chevrolet Master Deluxe 2 Door. I remember rides in the coupe, probably was about 3 years of age until about 4 or so. I remember 1 time when my aunt opened the passenger door, and it opening from the front, pulled her out, and she landed in the ditch, scratched an bruised, no broken bones. O how the mind works.
Congratulations Michael on your purchase!!!! Sorry for letting my mind stray.

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Congratulations!
Couldn't be in better hands.
If you would sell me that 40 coupe, you would have more room for it!

Re: Newest Acquisition --- 1934 Station Wagon
 

Bill,
These darn cars are like my secondary kids I get too attached to them.. I seem to always find room..
