1941 Ford Super Deluxe Loch Haven Green Station Wagon

 

1941 r Deluxe Station gon w/ Matching 1953 craft Clipper Runabout at w/ 15hp Evinrude Fast Twin Outboard – PRICE REDUCED AGAIN!
 

1941 r Deluxe Station gon that is in largely original, not restored condition.  9,485 r Deluxe Station gons were produced in 1941.  Mileage shows as 98,209 which is believed to be correct.  The wagon spent its life up until late 2019 in ginia.  I am the 5th Owner.  It has one repaint in the original ven color which matches the trim tag. There is no rust in the body. There are photos included of the wheel wells showing this.  The wood is original except for some small repairs, and is in good overall condition.  The fabric top was replaced within the last 15 years, and is in good condition.  A set of metal drip edges for the top were acquired by the previous owner after the top work was done.  He felt that the edging was well done when the top was replaced & did not justify tearing it up to install the steel ones.  They are included in the sale. 
  

Mechanical: 
  

At some point before the previous Owner’s purchase a 8BA flathead V-8 was installed.  He installed a new radiator, shroud, & Drake high efficiency water pumps, and it runs cool even on hot nnah days.  He had the car rewired including a plug for the boat trailer.  The boat trailer currently does not have lights or wiring. A vintage turn signal kit was installed when the wiring was done, & it works great.    All lights & the horn work.  The radio & gauges were rebuilt when the wiring was done. The gauges work fine.  The AM radio is not working.  Previous owner replaced the gas tank, generator, voltage regulator, carburetor, and stock lever action shocks.  Since purchasing the car I have installed a Pertronix ignition system w/ Pertronix plug wires and coil, new spark plugs, a new alternator charging set up, all new ix/Self Adjusting brakes on all 4 wheels, and a new 6 volt battery. 
  

Interior: 
  

The wagon has all 3 seats.  The leather seating surfaces are in excellent condition with no visible wear, rips, etc.  I installed all new rubber floor mats from front to rear with insulation.  I also installed new interior & exterior mirrors, sun visors, and rear window hardware.  The previous owner installed new dash plastic, & rebuilt the gauges & radio.  
  

Chassis & undercarriage 
  

stated above the brake system was replaced with ix/Self Adjusting drum brakes.  The mufflers were replaced with new glass pack units received when the car was purchased.  The dual exhaust system is tight and not objectionably loud.  There is an electric fuel pump near the tank that has been replaced under my ownership, & it works fine. Other than mild surface rust & grime the chassis is in fine condition.  There are no noted leaks from the brake system. The tires are relatively new radials that are in good condition. 
  

Driveability 
  

I keep a 6 volt ttery r on the car, and it starts easily, comes to an easy idle with some use of the choke, warms quickly, and drives out with no problems.  
  

1953 craft Runabout & 15hp Evinrude Outboard 
  

at: from what I can find 1953 may be the first year that craft made a fiberglass hulled boat.  There is no data plate or serial # on the boat.  The previous Owner bought the boat at an auction in PA, which makes sense since craft boats were originally made in SE PA.  He bought it because the hull color is such a good match w/ the wagon, plus the wood deck & interior.  The hull, wood deck, & interior are all in great shape, and do not require any current work.  
  

Evinrude Fast Twin 15hp outboard can be identified as a 1953-1954 model from the l #15012-01914. Since I had no plans to put the boat in the water I put oil in the cylinders, pulled it through a few times, & have not attempted to start it.  There is a 6 gallon portable fuel tank that goes with the sale. 
  

er: I replaced the tires, tubes, and wheel bearings.  talled a trailer dolly to aid in storage.  
  

Fun Fact: In 2021 & 2022 I was invited to bring the woody & boat to the Head nd urs d’Elegance for their 2 day “On the ter” display of antique water craft in conjunction with the urs.  They got a lot of attention! 

Note:  I think this is a “neat” and unique combination that you don’t see every day.  If someone feels compelled to make an offer on either the woody or the boat separately I will entertain it, but I hope they sell as a pair.
