FLM Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hi everybody. New guy here.A friend has a '37 woodie wagon and he wants me to help sell it but there seems to be some question as tohow many were built. I've heard as high as 100 and low as 10. This is Baker-Rauling body if that helps. Any clues? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flackmaster Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I haven't found it yet... I might be interested in buying the car...is it restored, or a project and what range of value is being considered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy_G Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I would love to see a photo of your car, no matter the condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLM Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 I'll scan some in and post them in a few days. Just finishing up the side curtains and re hanging a door. It coming to the tail end of a 15 year resto. We're alittle slow around. hahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flackmaster Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Found it... The Packard Cormorant, Spring 1997, Production Data as compiled by Charles Blackman based on highest known serial numbers, 1937-115C Station Wagon, 32. I personally know of at least one other, restored in North Carolina about 10 years ago. You might check with the PAC roster keeper for 37 Junior cars for more info. There is one "station sedan" listed in Indiana in the PAC register, but the model is not indicated. I am also aware of rumors associated with the Brooks Stevens Woody, but that is another story for another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLM Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 more pix. Sorry for the clutter. Still have to hang the passenger door and have side cutains to finish. It was built with nearly everthing being NOS. It was a cowl, frame and engine when it was found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLM Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Thanks guys but I can't take credit for it. I only did a small part. My pal Bob did most of it himself including building the body. I'll post a "before" picture. It'll knock your socks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Speedster Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 All that Great varnished Wood, reminds me of being in a Wooden Sailing Ship. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Woodies should have Anchors instead of Brakes. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Morbius Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 At first I though, that's pretty rich - a stained glass window for an interior door panel, then I saw you haven't hung it yet!!!!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ...............Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Joel Gauthier Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I have just read the posting regarding the 1937 Packard Model 115C Woody. I have the car that someone noted as living in Indiana. It has a Baker-Rauling body and restoration is nearly complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
