New Vehicle - '41 Ford Woody - C11AS

[Steve Guthrie]

Hi there

Lovely car!

AMT-Ertl make a 1/25th scale model kit of the civilian '41 Ford Woodie which I have built several examples of.

The interior photos make me want to build another!

In reading contemporary documents, I saw references to a vehicle called a CHAD. Turns out, the reference is to the C11AD but someone substituted an upper case 'H' for the twin "11' and no-one corrected it.

Ian, thank you so very much. I appreciate your time and effort, which gives me a bit of an insight into these machines.

Cheers,
Matt

This convoy lamp and this style of canvas bag that hung on the inside of each door are related to the C11AS. The bags hung on each of the 4 doors on various station wagons. I have not seen how they hang: must be some hooks.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the info. I was aware of the use of the standard early rubber light unit as per the photo and actually have four that I will use to keep the correct 'look' , even if there will be two per side rather than one! I will convert one to a stop/tail and use the other as the indicator. However the canvas bag is something I was not aware of, having seen no original photos of the interior other than the map table, which unfortunately is missing. Do you have at least a pair of the bags available?

Ian: The bags were tagged "Pocket, door, detach." The part number C11AS 7925002 is listed in parts books for the C21AS and C11ADF (Station Wagon/Heavy Utility), C21AS (Fordor Sedan) and C11AD Station Wagon. Four were used in each case. They they may well fit other passenger vehicles. There are 2 grommets on the rear for attachment. PM sent regarding stock. . Brian
