1933 Ford Model 40 Woody Wagon Nicely Restored Example with Performance upgrades

When the Model 40 and the new B were introduced February 9, 1933, revisions of the car were substantial, especially considering how important the 1932 change had been. For its second year, the wheelbase was stretched, from 106 in to 112 in on a new crossmember frame. The grille was revised, gaining a pointed forward slope at the bottom which resembled either a spade, a Medieval shield, or possibly the 1932 Packard Light Eight in general outline anyway. Both the grille and hood louvers curved down and forward. The overall design and grille were inspired by the English Ford Model Y. Streamlining was further accentuated by the new hood which now covered the cowl, giving an impression of more length. In addition, there were more rounded and skirted fenders and new, elegantly bowed bumpers. Headlamp support bars were no longer in use, and there were new wire wheels. The cars got a new dashboard with instruments set in an oval insert in front of the driver. There was a glove box on the passenger side. Closed Deluxe models received heavy DI-NOC woodgraining on dash and window frames, and there were deeper seat cushions There were 10 body styles (14 if standard and Deluxe trim levels are counted separately). Now, all were available for V-8s and the Model B, which thus got Deluxe models, too. Convertible Coupes and Victoria came in Deluxe trim only, and the most expensive car in the line, the "woody", as a Standard only. The biggest change to the Woody were the front doors which were now slanted towards the front fender which better suited the flowing line of the front fender and hood.

1933 proved to be one of the deepest years of the Great Depression and only 1654 Woodies were produced in 1933.

This very nice Woody Wagon has been fully restored to a high level and has some great performance upgrades making it sound as good as it looks. The Paint, Chrome, Interior, the wire wheels, and most notably the wood is all in excellent condition with no flaws noted. Featuring a side mounted spare and black interior with seating for 6 or more, this is the perfect woody for summer time beach cruising, promotion of your local business, or a wonderful estate or ranch vehicle. It starts right up runs smoothly and shifts and stops as it should. It features some nice discreetly added auxiliary gauges, and a push button key starter for easier operation. This is just a great woody from arguably the most desirable year of V8 Ford production that needs nothing but a happy new owner.
