Tom Boehm Posted Tuesday at 11:35 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:35 PM Did the 1949, 1950 Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile all steel station wagons have factory painted fake woodgraining on the outside? I see so many of these cars with restored with painted woodgraining applied by hand. Most of it is really poorly done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted Wednesday at 08:02 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:02 PM Tom, I'm not sure of the years, but I have seen some tin woodies with factory woodgraining but don't know when they discontinued it for paint only. From what I have read, it was very costly to do at the factory. I once read of a company in Florida that did woodgrain a '50 Chevrolet station wagon at one time and the cost was staggering. Last week at HERSHEY there was a beautiful woodgrained Pontiac "tin woodie" in the flea market, but I don't know the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
