Who makes the best model A woody kits?
I am thinking about the possibility of putting a model A woody body on my original chassis. But what company makes the the best repop woody kits? All input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Geoff |

Great question. I've known about a collection all the metal bits for a 1929 that would be a great start on a rebuild.

Re: Who makes the best model A woody kits?
Are you asking about a Station Wagon that is original, --or just something that looks close? Pleasantville is probably one of the best. It is what I own.

Re: Who makes the best model A woody kits?
I search for two years yes Pleasantville is the best I found,
Met him at Hershey and was sold once i saw the wood work very nice all oak, done to a point car, only draw back was the price on hardware. I could swallow the kit price on the wood, You will need a glass of water for the hardware, great people to work with also. He builds the 150a and 150b also a 255, |

Is the 255 the Station Wagon Delivery? I draged home the remains of one from the Town Dump back in the 1960's, still have the window regulator from the drivers door.

They are not oak. They're maple with birch plywood panels and basswood roof slats

Re: Who makes the best model A woody kits?
It would depend on what kind you want. If you want a Huckster (see my picture at left) then Lentsville A's in Holland, MI makes the best (I could find) complete ready to bolt on body. Most of it solid Red Oak with some ply in doors, etc. But well done and very solid.

You mean interior wood?

Check out Wagon Works in Iowa. They make a nice kit.

the only company that advertises in "Wagon Wheels", the newsletter of the Woody Wagons chapter of both MAFCA and MARC, is Pleasantville.

Re: Who makes the best model A woody kits?
Pleasantville and S&S Industries is the former Hudson Wagon Works. I'm in the process of building a huckster using their plans and making some modifications along the way. If you buy their plans, I highly recommend that you also purchase their DVD as there are some differences between the two and the DVD clears them up.

Re: Who makes the best model A woody kits?
I just tried contacting Pleasantville, they went out of business December 2016. Any current suggestions on an alternate source for original station wagon wood?
