The Woodie in front of you looks like my old 38 that I never should have sold. Mine was the dark brown. I restored it in the early 80's.

Tell us about your dash. I've seen '50 cars with '51 steering wheels and dash, but not a '51 with the a '50 dash ... Is that common? Also, I'm curious about your clutch and brake pedals ... vertical or horizontal? Again, I've seen them both ways and wonder if it varied from plant to plant? Overdrive? - Thanks! - Bob

The dash is just how Henry made it. All the 51 station wagon' s came with the 50 dash.
The brake and clutch pedal pads are mounted vertical.
The wagon is powered by 239 flathead with three on the tree with overdrive.

Fixed it for you. Henry died in 1947, had little to do with FoMoCo after 1945 when "The Deuce" (Henry Ford II) took over as prez.
