Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Likely, the one who had Jean-Paul Belmondo polish his shoes for him.

Dogs sniff each other that way. Why shouldn't classic cars do likewise?

Does your wife know that you pretty much know your way around, Sir? And, what other secrets are you keeping?

 

That is, in fact, a Suburban, however, in all my limited years, I've never seen any of the '40s or '50s rigs done up with Woody trim. So I think its rarity is the other way around--that it's the Woody trim, not the truck chassis, that makes that longroof rare.

 

Both are rare. I didn't even see many of those Suburbans left, 40 years ago, even. The last one I saw was the panel truck version in a Detroit junkyard bordering on Highland Park. It had the double wheel rear axle with the stacked-up leaf spring and longer body. For some strange reason, I remember seeing more Fords and Dodge trucks/panels than pre-'55 Chevies.

 

Like this????????Y 1948 Chevy half ton panel truck being converted to a custom RV tow vehicle complete with heavy duty Reese hitch and electric connector behind Monte Carlo flip up tag. Keyless remote doors and front cowel vent. The side doors and rear doors have stainless trim to be replaced.

The same body style as that rare woody wagon panel thing. A longer body version was a one ton model. 1947 to early 1955. Mid '55 had a more updated grille. 1950 and newer had side vent wings.

 

There is a pair of Chevy/GMC panels like these down the road from me. Only to be seen when the leaves fall. Pretty sure the owner plans on a serious restoration some day... Although I did hear that iron is good for the soil and these are donating plenty
