Beautiful, hand-crafted woodwork is one of the many features found on this vintage 1933 Ford Woodie that is completely finished out and has a great look. The wood paneling on this classic was all hand-built and coated with multiple coats of clear Polyurethane. This keeps the maple looking like new, even if you happen to be caught in the rain. The work that went into it is top-notch with a high level of craftsmanship.

Next to the maple, you will find the all steel body, the fenders are also steel. The body is coated in House of Colors Scarlet Orange Candy paint that “you have to see to believe.” It has a splendid shine that “looks even better out in the sun.” The exterior chrome has mostly been removed, but the polished aluminum grille is still in place. The dual chrome headlights are also in place. In classic street rod style, suicide doors are another feature you will find on the car. Lock pins are in place on the interior to insure they are latched close. The car is never housed out doors and always receives any needed tune-ups. To make sure the car continues to shine like it does, a front bra as well as a car cover are included. The car rides on a set of Halibrand-style polished wheels that look just right and are mounted with BF Goodrich tires.

The Woodie is powered by a Chevrolet 350-cid V-8 crate engine that runs extremely well. It started as your typical crate engine, but is now completely polished out and topped with “tons of chrome.” The 350 automatic transmission shifts properly and utilizes a Lokar shifter. The exhaust system is nicely routed and even use polished drop downs. The Ford has only has 2,881 miles on it, so it is practically new.

The custom tear-drop air cleaner is painted to match the rest of the car, along with the valve covers which adds a nice accent. The air cleaner is graced with custom striping by Dennis Ricklefs, which matches the striping on the dash. This theme continues underneath the car with most components being painted or polished. The Ford nine-inch rear end with four bars is a painted item and is framed by coilovers, which are also found up front. The disc brakes in front add extra stopping power in addition to the painted drum brakes in rear.

The interior is finished out in all Tan leather and is extremely comfortable. The bench seat fits right in place and has bucket style backs. Seatbelts have also been added for extra safety. Along with the billet pedals, the car uses all chrome or billet components. The polished tilt steering column looks great and is topped off with a polished Banjo steering wheel. The aftermarket air conditioning works just as it should and runs through polished aftermarket vents. The dash is painted to match the car and is just as cleanly painted as the rest. White-faced classic Auto Meter gauges look perfect against the paint and are mounted in gold bezels.

The Sony AM/FM/CD/mp3 player is iPod ready and has a great sound. It is mounted in a hidden spot so a wireless remote is used to operate it. Another inspired feature on the car is the power windows. They have a custom setup to use the classic handles and work just as they should. This holds on to the classic look while still being able to have that luxury.

The car is in nice condition and runs very well. You will thoroughly enjoy cruising around and all the attention the vehicle receives. There are turned heads or a “thumbs up” in every window you pass.
