Not everything that turned out of the pre-war coachbuilders'
shops was some outlandish show car for the ultra-rich. Instead, many times,
they were simply called upon to build exactly what somebody of means wanted
when the automakers didn't. Thus is the story behind the 1939 Chrysler Imperial
woodie wagon that Bohman and Schwartz built in 1941 for a Southern Californian
homebuilder, as related by Robert F. Mehl. From the article:
"Californian John W. Way was a man with a high regard for excellence. . . . Woodie wagon fans will immediately note the metal window
frames (painted, not chromed) in the doors, not seen in production wagons. Other
details include a backup light, a spotlight and two fog lights. Why only one
taillight?"
