1931 Ford Model A Station Wagon

Long before there were station wagons and mini vans, there were 'woodies.' Often used for upscale resorts to transport passengers and luggage, they are now among the most popular collectible vehicles ever built. Produced from 1927 - 1931, there is certainly something timeless about the Model A Woodie wagons, as they represent a time when craftsmen, not robots, built cars.

The Model A was the first Ford to use the standard set of driver controls with conventional clutch and brake pedals, throttle, and gearshift. Previous Fords used controls that were somewhat unusual to drivers of other makes. The Model A was also the first car to have safety glass in the windshield.

There is no doubt that upkeep requires quite a commitment compared to similar steel-bodied cars, and this is yet another reason why these vehicles are such a rare treat.
