Default 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?

The cowl on a '29 (150A) is unique. Start there...

If you PM me with your email, I can send pics.

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

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

Consider the cost of all metal pieces if they are missing. They can be hard to find.

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

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