Hi Tom, thanks for the info on Walt’s article the photos I submitted are 25 years old, the car has been stored over 40 years out of the weather so the wood has maintained well. My father disassembled and had some wood work done at a local shop in Melbourne Fl (answer to your question) I live north east of Orlando, Geneva. he restored frame and has the body back on, there’s a lot remaining to be completed as I said his health failed and didn’t get to see his project through. I helped grandma some on his phaeton in the 80s but was working on a 65 Chevelle for myself at his place north west NJ. (Stillwater) have some old photos to share. Me on the milk crate 1982 is the Córdoba tan phaeton I have now. The Chevelle is shoe horned next to the woodie in my barn. I am working on closing in my shop so those two projects can be moved in.

That must have been a fantastic drive across the country, sounds like you drive your car rather than keeping it in a cocoon!

Looking forward to parking this woodie next to my 36 ford phaeton, and 71 nova.

Thanks knee-action, can’t wait to get these 84 year old knees flexing again!

Thanks everyone for the info and a big thanks to Graham mans “Cantrell promotional” it appears the car I have is identical to the one shown in the announcement leading me to conclude I should be calling it a Master six Suburban!

So with no wood visible on this 46 vehicle it’s a suburban. The 49 (nice if yours) has a truck front, 60 flattop say” suburban with no metal skin”, mine looks like a car front end, I’m trying to absorb this but still a bit fuzzy!

I can definitely use clarification on the difference between a suburban and a woodie. Here I my photos, please offer advise. The Id plate is so weathered I will spell out what I see below.

Thanks For the info Tom, I have a four door sedan parts car that has the same front end and frame. I will get photos up, it was a running complete car before dad started disassembling, I have a complex puzzle to work with. It’s back to rolling chassis but not setup in my shop currently (barn storage). I’ll get photos together and posted!

Will do Craig, thanks

A 1936 Chevy woodie wagon purchased by my grandfather in the early seventies was passed to my father in the nineties. He started a restoration on it before his health failed. I have the car now So If anyone can assist me in obtaining historical and/or current information pertaining to this model vehicle, I have not been able to see any examples of this car. I am looking forward to returning it back to the condition it deserves. I am new to this forum and not sure if I’m posting in the right location so any advise would be helpful as well.
