1937 Ford Deluxe SWAG “WOODY” History Overview: For 1937 Ford station wagons continued to offer real wood for its siding. Ford Motor Company started building station wagons in 1935 at its wood processing plant in Iron Mountain, Michigan. This plant was later sold and continued to produce charcoal at this location. Interestingly, a cousin by marriage and a collaborator with Henry Ford in the wood processing plant was named E.G. Kingsford. “Kingsford” charcoal still grills our burgers, ribs, steaks, and chicken today. Ford, in 1937, adopted all-steel construction for its closed bodies discarding the fabric roof insert of the past. Evidence of streamlining was ample in the handsome new styling. Headlamps were now incorporated into the front fenders, the grille was stretched and sloped backwards at the top, and fine horizontal bars decorated the front end and hood sides. The result was one of the best looking cars of the decade; even President Franklin Roosevelt bought a convertible sedan to use at his Warm Springs, Georgia retreat. In a year of questionable styling throughout the industry, Ford was a standout. This car has been professionally restored by Lowry’s Auto Restoration during 2002-04. The engine compartment is highly detailed with Ford-script radiator hoses and correct clamps. The generator, air cleaner, firewall, and inner splash fenders are all finished in high gloss black Originally Sold To: N/A Original MSRP: $775.00 Stock Number: C 209
