woodie49 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 Thought I would share some Mopar pix from the Woodie Show this week end. Most of the Woodies were Fords (of course) but a decent representation of non-Fords this year. The first picture of the blue woodie (don't remember what year) shows a car that has actually been in the same family since new. The current owner's father bought it, they took it to Europe with them when he was relocated and fled back to the USA (with the car) just as the war was breaking. They just finished a very extensive and nicely done complete restoration on it. A great car with a great story! Quote

Charlie Olson Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 The blue Plymouth is a 1939. There was a very interesting article about the history of this car and the family, which has always owned it, in the Woodie Times. Quote
1940plymouth Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 Charlie, Can you post the article? Quote
Charlie Olson Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 Charlie' date=' Can you post the article?[/quote']I'll check with the editor to see if The Woodie Times is available, online. Quote
YukonJack Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 In the back ground of picture 4 there is a red Dodge Woodie. Do you have any other pictures of it? Quote
Niel Hoback Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 Does the woodie Times come in a plain brown wrapper? (pun intended). Quote

wayfarerstranger Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 THE light green 50 PLYMOUTH WOODIE belongs to my good friend RICK SEBORG . we always hang out during WAVECREST .. HERE is my old beater ,,, Quote
Charlie Olson Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 And I thought this was gonna be a post about how excited we get regarding Chrysler Dodge DeSoto and Plymouth products.Silly me. Well, they all came with Wood theme bodies and configurations. You should be proud that not all woodies were FXXXs or CXXXXXs. Wood you like more cheese with your whine?

BobT-47P15 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 When's the last time you saw a 1954 Plymouth woodie??? Quote

Jim Benjaminson Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Charlie - when was that blue 39 Plymouth woodie featured in the Woodie Times? I've got them all for years and don't have it..... Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Here's another faux Plymouth woodie, owned by someone on the HAMB, whose handle is Plywude. Quote
Charlie Olson Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Charlie - when was that blue 39 Plymouth woodie featured in the Woodie Times? I've got them all for years and don't have it..... After some more thought, it may have been in the Plymouth Owners Club, THE BULLETIN. Maybe we could check with Lanny and see. It would be a great article for The Woodie Times After a little Google search, I did find a Flickr photo and this short write up about it. 1939 Plymouth Woodie Our car finally finished and at it's first showing at Doheny Wood 2010 in Dana Point, CA. We won best original flat head award to boot! Cool... Quick car bio: My grandfather bought the car new in Dec. 38 and shipped it to the south of France where my family lived (red plate on windshield is the original licence plate from France). WWII broke out and they fled with whatever they could stuff in the car. My grandfather forged diplomatic papers to have the car shipped back to the states. My father started restoration in 2001. We had it professionally finished this past year and it shows! Glad to stop writing those checks! Enjoy! We are! Google: 1939 Plymouth Woodie Flickr I do remember reading a rather extensive article about this blue 39 Plymouth Woodie. Hi Jim - PLYWOOD is in better shape after the wreck and restoration; than it was before the bog ouch. Charlie Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Bob, anymore pics of the faux blue 54...trying to make out the emblem on the front fender..appears it could easily be a 64 era Plymouth V8 emblem..the cartop carrier..though period..should have been donated to a family of starving termites..just don't look good detracts from the roof and car in general Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Tim.........found 3 more pics......... Appears to be an original style six. It does appear to have a V8 emblem - lilnk to a video.... http://www.carsforsale.com/used_cars_for_sale/1954_Plymouth_Woody+Wagon+2+Door_127249240# Rear view from a different web item.................... Edited April 29, 2011 by BobT-47P15 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Looks to be the early 50's style Ford V8 emblem in the video..thanks for the link.. Quote
Young Ed Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Tim do you find it as odd as I do that someone would add a V8 emblem to a car that they didn't add a v8 to? Quote
Don Coatney Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Tim do you find it as odd as I do that someone would add a V8 emblem to a car that they didn't add a v8 to? Perhaps they did not know it was a V-8 emblem. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 folks do a lot of things and add 'bling' to suit their fancy..and yes if it is not a V8 why install the emblem..I had considered adding 3.9 Magnum emblems on my Suburban fenders when finished but that is not decided at this time..my car is personalized and I am in no way trying to pass it off as anything close to original..far from that..but I still like keeping the exterior lines of the car clean and the hints that it is modified to a few exceptions...the wagon in question has a lot of personalized features right on down to the rear tail lights, am glad to see the hubcaps done the way they are...(that idea is out of my system now..ugh)..I like lloking at modified/custom/opersonalized cars just to see something fresh and different..not all are tastefully presented, but all are as the owner wanted it..
