Ford Deluxe 1941

Here is a 1941 version of the Ford Deluxe woody, completely original. Although the number 302 is seen on the plate (often associated with Ford's newer smaller-cylinder V8), this car still has the original Flathead V8 under the hood.

The owner of the 1941 woody had in his possession the car’s original contract of sale. Note the date - June 3, 1941, almost six months to the day before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor! The original buyer had left a 1936 Ford station-wagon (almost certainly another woody) as a trade-in!
