Default Need some expertise in identifying a wagon

Was looking at a Model A wagon but not sure if this is a true '31 wagon or a conversion of some kind. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It is not a true wagon, as its variations from original are numerous and obvious.

Possibly an aftermarket such as "Hoover Bodies" or the like. Search around pix of woodie wagons on the 'net - you may find something similar.

Better done that most "Hucksters."

The Model A wagon would have 4 doors and the rear tail gate would have the closing hardware on the outside along with the chains to support it. They were commercial rigs like pickups and panels.

I would call it a custom built body . It looks like a very nice job .

Even though it is a 'home built' body, I like it. Looks like it used to be a closed car judging by the sun visor. Make sure the mechanicals are good if you look at it.

Here is a picture of our huckster. It is made with a Lentville A's body. This body I understand was made similar to the York-Hoover body.
