This 1933 Ford Deluxe Wagon is a wonderful example of a rare, classic Early Ford V8 “Woodie.” In 1933, only 1,654 of the vehicles produced by Ford that year were wagons. Before coming into the possession of its current caretaker, this wagon underwent a complete and thorough restoration by its previous owner whose story with this vehicle began over 50 years ago. Much more than just a vehicle, this wagon was a decades long passion that resulted in an exceptionally restored classic wagon. Its story was featured in the August 2012 edition of Oldcarsweekly.com.

The previous owner, a former Maine State Trooper, saw this wagon on the side of the road in Edgecomb, Maine while on patrol in 1966. Still in uniform, he walked up to the house and inquired about the Ford. After agreeing to a price of $295, the Trooper soon returned when off duty and drove the wagon home. Not much of the history was known of the wagon at the time of purchase other than that it was believed to have been used as a school bus for a private school in Rhode Island for many years prior to coming to Maine at some point in the 1940’s. After a few minor repairs, it was used for a few years as it was found until being put away in a barn until 1995. After his retirement from the Maine State Police, the previous owner dedicated himself to the completion of this wagon to the level of quality that he felt it deserved.
Countless hours were spent on repairing and restoring every aspect of this beautiful wagon. A local boat yard was contracted to perform all necessary repairs on the wooden body and students at Southern Maine Vocational College performed a full rebuild on the engine and transmission as part of their coursework. Other aspects of the restoration included new suspension parts, brakes, gas tank, bodywork, and upholstery. Wanting to be as authentic as possible, the restoration focused on utilizing proper colors on the bodywork and upholstery to match what would have been offered in 1933. Powered by a 221ci Ford V8 engine with a three-speed transmission, this Ford wagon runs and drives exceptionally well.
After being on display for several years at the Boothbay Railway Village Museum, the prior owner felt it was time to find his beloved wagon a new caretaker. The current owner has maintained and cared for this vehicle to the high degree of care, which a vehicle like this deserves. Opportunities to find a classic early Ford V8 wagon in this condition are rare and this vehicle would be a welcome addition to any serious collector. Sold with a registration
