Man finds two woodies

I did a search and didn't find any other posts about this.

Cool story, with pics, about a man finding two woodies, a '39 Plymouth and a '48 Ford.

Drool, drool.

 

Thanks for sharing the article. What a lucky guy.. and he had to keep that secret for years i bet to ensure no one else went over the ford...

 

Wow. That is a great find and both in great condition.

 

Cool story...I love that plymouth.

Thanks for posting

 

I would have found 3 woodies after opening that door !

 

That's awesome.

 

I've found woodies in the morning quite often

 

Imagine buying both of those cars back in the day and putting them away for all that time. I still cant.

That would be like hitting the lottery for me to open the door of that trailer.

Id have woodies for life if I was that dude.

 

funny

 

Man I would have that Plymouth in a second! The Plymouths always had nice wooden bodies..they have a wooden floor where the Fords do not..I would make them safe to drive and leave them alone! Too many perfect Ikea woodies out there now..seems noone appreciates a good original woodie..so what if some wood is "bad"..gives the cars character..Hell my old man drove our 37 Ford woodie around for years with the drivers door completely missing! I can only hope these dont end up with bleached out wood and a gold chainer sitting behind the wheel....
Loved seeing the wagons in that state! Thanks for posting!

 

Great find and some great history preserved,very luck find.

 

Normally the wife finds the woodies.
Not allways happy about it either.

 

I just blew sweet tea out of my nose.....That is funny!

 

Thats a great story, hard to belive the farmer didn't even have the trailer locked up!

 

lmao.

 

lol thats great

 

Awesome story!

 

i found a 47or 48 ford one out in the woods almost completely wasted. but you can still somewhat makeout the old brushed on flame paint job on the front end

 

I came across the same Old Cars Weekly "Collector beats termites to long-forgotten woodies" article ... and was gonna share it with the HAMB community ... but saw that dvs beat me to it! (the search feature is your friend)

Anyway ... a very cool story!
