Toy....Model.


 

My model of a 1949 Ford is called a "woodie" because of the wood panels that were applied to the sides. As a kid I do remember them as the wood was all faded and looked bad.  I don't know if they knew how to wax or use wood preservative at that time.  I think the scale size of this is 1/39. The model is black but most all that I ever remember seeing were beige or white cars.  This one shows only two front doors which made it be more like a cargo carrying car.  After researching this car I did find that the 1948 Chevorlet Fleetmaster was a similar vehicle.  It was more of a boxy shaped than the one made by Ford.  I also found that this model is still on sale today at Target. I have had this one probably for 15 to 20 years.

 The locust in our front yard is sprouting out green. It is so great to see with the blue sky background. This is the great variety of locus...
