Just a Post...

So I thought that I would just add some good information for all of you followers out there.  I have lots of pictures and progress to show but not sure where to begin so I' just going to tell you a few things about the station wagon.
The station wagon was first made by Ford in 1928 there were I think 4 or 5 produced (Although they are not sure if there were more produced).  The differneces between 28 and 29 are minumimal and you really have to know what you are looking at to tell.  But the 29 and 30-31's are really easy to tell.  So in hopes to tell you a little bit about both here it goes.
1930-1931

1929 (White walls were not original but they look awesome!)
First of all the biggest difference is in the trim that is at the top of the door right where you would rest your arm.  For the 29 it was just a staight plain board nothing fancy.  By the time that 30's came out they increased the size and added what I would call flare.


The next thing that it different is that the 29 has a staight roof while the 30-31 curves down to the front of the car.  The 29 was just a box on wheels.  It was one of the first produced so they start simple and then add as they go.  For some they say that the first one is always the best but others like the add-ons.  For me i like them both they all have a uniquness that was only Ford.  So now if you see any out there on the road you will know a little bit more about which year your looking at.
