Model A woodie

[uk woodie]

Hi, all, im UK based, and have just purchased a woodie, I don't know much about its history but it has a 10 foot body with twin side mounts. I wonder if anyone has any idea of its provenance or have seen one like it?.


Thanks and nice to meet you all.

I don't know much on all the Woody body styles, but boy she sure is pretty. I'm sure you get the answer to your question here. Please post more pic's.

Hello and welcome to the Barn. Yes, nice looking woody. We also have a woody Huckster body style. Great cars to have for giving the grandkids a ride in.

Looks like yours may be one created by a very qualified woody builder. They did a very good job on it.

Welcome ! ! ! Very nice looking and first I've seen like that.
Did you acquire it in/from the U.K. ??

Very Nice Woody. I wonder if it is custom made. In any case it is beautiful.

Thank you everyone, its a 10foot body length. I purchased it here in the UK.
At present it just has two seats in the front, im working of finding a seating configuration for the rear, im thinking of drop down bench seats from the sides.

I think it needs a luggage roof rack, any thoughts or experience?


Thanks again.

What is the wheelbase length? It looks longer than a regular Model "A".

Looks to be built on a 114" wheelbase chassis. Offered in UK France and Germany according to Dear Old Dad, for customer built commercial bodies and landaulets. Pretty rare.

I've seen this particular car at Belchers. Has french Marchal headlights so I assume it was originally a french vehicle. Don't know who built the woody body but it is done nicely









Enjoy!

Agreed, a one of kind very unique piece of history...

Looks like a huckster put together by a skilled wood worker. Below are pictures of an original steel bodied 28 huckster.

I'm also guessing that those pegs that stick out the inside are racks for shotguns? Was originally built as a shooting brake or beaters wagon? French are pretty keen on "la chasse". Again, just a guess

I wonder whether there would be some information in these?

What a neat looking topper for a pickup. Gives me something to dream about for my pickup.

Here's a view from the side. Looks like a French Bordeau body perhaps?
