Ford Model A Station Wagon or Panel Delivery Truck with Natural Wood Paneling, February 1931
Add to SetSummary
When it introduced its Model A station wagon for 1929, Ford became the first Big Three automaker to offer a factory-built wagon. Ford's panel delivery truck effectively was a station wagon with its rear windows blanked out, and with two doors rather than four. Ford sourced the wood in these vehicles from company-owned forests in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
