Station wagon
Hi everyone! Is there a way to tell if a 1929 station wagon is an original one or if it was made into a wagon later on in life? Thanks! Also what would a fixer upper be worth?

Re: Station wagon
The cowl on a '29 (150A) is unique. Start there...
If you PM me with your email, I can send pics. Last edited by jwmckenzie; 10-17-2021 at 08:38 AM. |

Re: Station wagon
Unless it’s one of the old, good reproduction bodies…
Look for finger joints in the wood; Original joinery is quite unique to original wood. I’d think the aging of the wood itself might be tell tale. JWMc offers pics..I’d sure take him up on such |

Re: Station wagon
Imho would depend on how much fixer upper
A full wood replacement (no longer readily available I think) would greatly devalue an unrestored car. Like value the chassis, fender and salvageable metal parts and you could easily be at under $4-5k |

Re: Station wagon
I eco brito36, most metal parts are unique to the Station Wagon and Special Delivery.

Re: Station wagon
I believe that the repro metal parts alone, over 25 yrs ago- when Pleasantville was in business, were 5k alone.............
