c49er Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I have always liked the 1949 MoPar split tailgate window woody wagons... even more so on the big body cars. That looks like it has real nice original wood too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Nice score! I passed on a copper colored 1950 Dodge woody in about the same condition for $500.00 back in 1980 or so. It was missing a rear door and I figured I would NEVER find another. I am still kicking myself on that missed opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cocuzza Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Thanks for the encouraging words. I couldn't pass it up as I have ALWAYS liked the 49 Plymouth & Desoto wagons. As a matter of fact my very 1st car was a 1949 Plymouth 2-door sedan. It was originally a pea green but I had it painted - guess what color? Yep, the cream color of the Wagon. So I guess I have come full circle now and MAYBE this will end the "sickness" I have when it comes to cars - but I doubt it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cocuzza Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Thanks for all of the positive remarks regarding the Plymouth Woody. I am expecting to have it "home" sometime in early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Wonderful little cars. I had one a few years ago that I really enjoyed driving and my wife loved it--it was the first car she'd ever driven with 3-on-the-tree shifting and she mastered it in about 10 minutes in that Plymouth With overdrive it would run along at 65 MPH with no problems. And as far as I could tell, there are probably less than 20 of them left. Here's my old one: Great find, you're going to love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Joe, how many Woodies have you owned at this point? I think that you must be a carpenter at heart. Congrats on the Plymouth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear bumper is hinged in the center part and it unlatches and the center section folds down allowing clearance for the tailgate to open. If this was missing on the car, as I have seen on others, it would be an impossible item to find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Cow, that must be some kind of record. I notice no Fords. Do you have nightmares about termites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cocuzza Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 IF all goes according to plan the Plymouth should be in my possession this Thursday. IF all does not go according to plan it will be a few days later. I will keep everyone posted (if interested) Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cocuzza Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 I know it has been a long time since my last update about the Woody. Because I was furloughed from work for a few days I decided to do some work on my cars. The first thing I did was to get the 47 T & C running again (needed the points cleaned). It fired right up. Then I jumped to the 49 Caddy - installed new water pump, fuel pump, installed oil filter housing/lines, installed new thermostat and generator bracket. I finally got to the 49 Woody today and I dropped the oil pan. All I can say is "good thing I did". There was an inch or more of sludge in the pan and the oil pickup screen was totally gummed up. I am soaking the pan and will remove the pickup screen and soak that, too. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
