That would be a fun ride, serious rubber!

Speaking of old Chevys (yes, I know we were speaking of Buicks) that reminds me of the first car that me and my mates took to the beach back in about 1968, it was similar to this.



We were all westies from out Parra way, and only one of us, Fergo, was old enough to have a licence so it was his dads car or nothing.

Even then, we were totally embarrassed at being seen in this old piece of crap.

How times have changed, nowadays, you'd be beyond cool.

Ob,the first pic you put up is a 1950 Buick Woody(rare) that has been customised,not a sedanette,sorry MR
Yep the next one is a 39 Chevy Sedan

You could be right Al, but we'll never actually know. Having edited the Buick Club of NSW magazine for 10 years, I've seen and driven my share of Buicks. There is actually no difference in the whole front clip, or the waist line, but the doors on the custom look more like Sedanette doors than Woody doors. Oh, and the custom is a two door, the Woody was a four door. So unless he did some really tricky cutting and shutting........
The custom job looks like it has a completely new roof and side windows. So it's anyone's guess as to whether the donor car was a Sedanette or a Woody, but my money is still on a Sedanette.

BTW, I have a couple of mates in the club who drive them (Sedanettes), and they're just a peach to drive.... hard to see out of, and harder to park because you can't see any of the corners, but well.... just lovely. One of the guys in the Buick Club has a 39 Chev too, not quite as nice, under powered compared to the Buick, but still fun. He also has a Marquette and a pristine stock standard HR wagon.

Here's a good woody....

Is it possible that they took 2 different cars and cut them up to make the wagon, or maybe just made a wagon from scratch, because that pic of the wagon I posted, really looks like it started it's life as a 2 door, before the roof was chopped.

I think so too, I think the roof is an entirely new fabrication, with perhaps the roof turret being donated from some other wagon. Same with the top of the doors, and the wagon rear windows.
