Ford invested heavily in the production of its Woody station wagon, one of the most expensive cars in its lineup. To guarantee the highest quality, they bought an entire mountain in Michigan's Upper Peninsula to maintain a steady supply of lumber. The Great Depression had caused a major decline in construction and boat industries, so Ford took advantage of the circumstances and sought out talented carpenters and artisans to craft the bodies of the Woody, including Briggs Manufacturing Company. This example of a Woody is especially noteworthy, as it has a wonderful long-term family history. It was used for the camp vehicle for Camp St. Mary's for most of its life and has since undergone a very high level professional restoration. The provenance and history of this Woody is incredible, with many photos to accompany it, making it a true work of art. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history!
