150B Station Wagon
Hi Guys,
I've searched the site and can't find an answer so here goes. I would like to have a 30/31 150B Station Wagon. I have a good running 1930 Tudor. I could sell the body. If I do what Cowl, Windshield goes on a 150B and do you know who might make a wood kit and of course hardware? Thanks Richard |

Re: 150B Station Wagon
Richard -
Pleasantville Mfg. Co 5534 Centralia-Hartfield Rd, Dewittville, NY 14728 advertises in the MARC News that they sell new station wagon bodies. With that said, I'm not sure which '30-'31 cowls will work on such a conversion, but the visor panel would certainly be a somewhat unique commodity. It is also my understanding that the fender wells and some of the other metal components are unique as well, but I believe that I have heard of folks cutting these from a fordor sedan. It is my understanding that the '29 wagon used a cowl door post unique to the station wagon and closed cab pickups, but this won't help much from the standpoint of building a 150-B. I'm certain that there are others who are much more knowledgeable than I on this point. For what its worth though, I would almost be inclined to start with something less than the complete tudor that you have, as there are a fair number of running gears that seem to come up from time to time for reasonable sums, and complete cars are becoming harder to come by. Regardless, good luck with whatever you decide to do. Dick |

Re: 150B Station Wagon
In addition the the header cap, which is in place of the visor and visor panel, the door hinges are unique to the 150's as well. You cannot get them in reproduction, and finding originals is very difficult, perhaps not even possible, without getting a hold of an original station wagon. If you want a real 150-B, I suggest you get a real one.

Re: 150B Station Wagon
I agree with Pat. There are many parts that are wagon only, hinges and front cowl to start with.

That said- would make more sense to sell your tudor and buy a done wagon. Wagons can be bought for approx 20k, minus the value of your car. good luck! |

Re: 150B Station Wagon
Did any of the 150b's have indented firewall?

Re: 150B Station Wagon
I appreciate all the great comments. I appears that buying a 150B is the best way to go. So I'll be on the hunt.
Thanks Richard |

Re: 150B Station Wagon
The cowl on a 150 is the same as any straight windshield body. We restored one in the 80s using a pleasntville body with original hardware and it was the easiest body we ever did. I don't know where they think you can get a wagon for twenty k I haven't seen one for that little that didn't need some some work, if not having a henry built wagon is OK I would consider building one up I have seen reproductions of the header in fiberglass but I don't know who made them.

Re: 150B Station Wagon
Yes, the late 31's had the indented firewall, I have one. Ruth at Pleasantville/SS is very nice to deal with and she does have most all the hardware needed, including rear door hinges. Mine were in sad shape and hers though pricey were nice. There is no other source so............. I am happy
