Special Deluxe Station Wagon

In 1947, the only woody wagon produced by Chrysler Corporation was the Plymouth. But even producing that one required some effort. You ordered the chassis through your local dealer. It was forwarded to the U.S. Body & Forging Company in Frankfort, Indiana. There, the wooden body sections were constructed and the car returned to Detroit for final finishing work. Then it made its final trek to the customer.

The wood framing is Ash; the panels in your choice of Maple or Honduras Mahogany.

After acquiring this car in 2005, the metal was refinished in Semac Red, and new upholstery, tires and wiring were added. The wood was structurally sound and 95-percent original. This car is a tribute to the men and women who fought in World War II. This car won its class at the 2006 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance.
