1930s

1930s

	Despite the Great Depression, the auto industry was marked by quick evolution in the 1930s. Many auto companies picked-up on the Station Wagon body style. This marked the beginning of the great Woody style.

WAGON	1930	Ford	Model A	Station Wagon
MODEL	Revell	#H1324 [WoodStock] (1974) 1/25
CAR COMMENT	In June of 1930 Ford made some minor modifications to their Model A Wagon creating the 150-B version. These included Duel taillights and elimination of the exterior sun visor.
MODEL COMMENT	Don't have one (rare). Molded in butterscotch, build as a stock or street rod woody. Opening doors, tailgate, hood.
WAGON	1930	Ford	Model A	Station Wagon
MODEL	Monogram	#??? (1964) 1/24 #PC103-170 (1967) 1/24 #7553 [Early Iron Series] (1974) 1/24 #2749 (1987) 1/24 #??? [Early Iron Series] (1995) 1/24
CAR COMMENT	In June of 1930 Ford made some minor modifications to their Model A Wagon creating the 150-B version. These included Duel taillights and elimination of the exterior sun visor.
MODEL COMMENT	Pros: Comes with parts to make it either a wagon or a panel van. Nice opening tailgate. Chevy small block with 6 carbs, special Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels and wide Goodyear tires. Cons: Wood paneling is modeled in not allowing for easy real-wood substitution. Summary: I don't actually own this kit but it would seem that, along with AMT's 29 version, this wagon is better geared toward Hot-Roding. Designed by Darryl Starbird.
WAGON	1931	Chevrolet	Panel Truck	Hotrod Hearse
MODEL	MPC AMT	#626-225 [Barnaba's Vampire Van] (1969) 1/25 #31772 [Vampire Van] (2003) 1/25
CAR COMMENT	From the 60's ABC Horror Soap Opera Dark Shadows. MPC took some liberties with a '31 Chevy Panel Truck.
MODEL COMMENT	I'm not a big fan of the customs like this, but it fit the hearse bill and is a nice collectable. It comes with a lot of extra parts including the coffin-shaped trailer.
WAGON	1931	Ford	Model A	Station Wagon
MODEL	Revell/Monogram	#H-1275:200 (1965) 1/25 #85-7637 (1997) 1/25
CAR COMMENT	Essentially the exact same as the 1930 wagon, except for some of the external metal parts, previously black, were painted Manila Brown.
MODEL COMMENT	The first release in 1965 release could be built as either a 1930 or 1931 Type 150-B Station Wagon, or Type 55-B Tudor sedan. 97 release has 170 pieces, Skill Level 3, and even opening doors I would guess it is a pretty nice kit.
WAGON	1932	Ford	Speedwagon	Dan Fink's custom Hot-Rod
MODEL	Revell/Monogram	#85-7606 (Ger #7328) (1997) 1/25
CAR COMMENT	The 90s custom rod from artist Thom Taylor and Dan Fink Metalworks based on a 32 Ford. Mustang 5.0 liter engine.
MODEL COMMENT	This is a custom only model. If you are looking to build a stock 32 wagon, this is not the kit.
WAGON	1930s	Citroen	C4	Hotel Taxi
MODEL	Heller	#713 (1987) 1/24
CAR COMMENT	I'm not that familiar with this early European car.
MODEL COMMENT	I have not seen one, but I would guess it is a nice collectable.
WAGON	1936?	Ford?		Posies Extremeliner
MODEL	American Muscle	#30150 (1999) 1/24
CAR COMMENT	The Posies Special Interest Vehicles group has been building custom cars since 1964. This the Thom Taylor custom on a late 30s Woody.
MODEL COMMENT	Pros: Pre-painted. Easy to assemble. Cons: Not much detail. Paint is not the same color as original. Summary: Although barely a wagon, the full-sized rod is pretty cool.
WAGON	1939	Chevrolet	Sedan/Station Wagon	Wagonrod street Rod
MODEL	AMT	#30087 (2001) 1/25 #??? [ProShop] (2002) 1/25
CAR COMMENT	I'm not sure if this model is based on an actual car.
MODEL COMMENT	Another fine example of a hot-rod only model. Basically a Sedan with some wood trim. ProShop is prepainted.
WAGON	1939	Chevrolet	Sedan Delivery
MODEL	Revell/Monogram	#2240 (1978) 1/24 #??? [Street Rod] (19??) 1/24 #2773 (1991) 1/24 #2592 [LowRider] (????) 1/24
CAR COMMENT	I'm not sure if this model is based on an actual car.
MODEL COMMENT	#2240 could be built stock or Street Rod. Opening Hood and rear door. Could be used with one of the many Ford woodies to create a Chevy Wagon.
