1937 Plymouth PT50 Woodie Real Daily Driver

[Zakman]

All original except the paint and new Wal-Mart tires, and front and rear seat covers which where removed from a 1940's Ford Woodie.

Rebuilt flat head 6 with a 3 sp top loader transmission, 6 volt system, new period correct wiring harness from Rhode Island Wiring.

Adding a new A/C unit (pictured) after refurbishment next week.

Wow- that is quite the "daily driver"!

I like the A/C. Yours is electric. My Lasalle woodie came with a similar aftermarket fan but it was propelled by engine vacuum, like the wipers. It clamps to the steering column. Where does yours attach? I really like the color and patina of the wood on your car.

Mine attaches where ever i want it,(down side is that's 7"dia) so it limits placement.   Waiting on that cloth braided wire to rewire the motor and into a on / off switch somewhere below the dash.

 

Yep, the wood is all original as far as i can tell, except the prior owner just slopped clear varnish ?  on the wood, not perfect, just OK.

Yes, i tried to keep it as original as much as possible and not throw a lot of money at it. 

It is total blast to drive it.  Its a people magnet.

Dang, that's nice,car looks real heavy.  Love the big sun visor, appears to be custom made and flows with the car.

Thanks for sharing

My 25 woody roof was rotted out when I saved it sanded the body coated with linseed oil and made a half roof now a pickup more useful. John
