PERHAPS, THE ONLY ONE KNOWN IN EXISTENCE TODAY. THIS BODY ON RESTORATION OF AN 85000 MILE FROM NEW WOODY SPECIAL, IS UNIQUE IN EVERY WAY. THE COUNTRY CLUB ACCESSORY WAS AVAILABLE IN 1947, AND INSTALLED PRIMARILY BY CHEVROLET DEALERS.

THE CAR WAS REPAINTED EBONY BLACK FROM THE ORIGINAL GREY. ALL RUBBER GASKETS, DOORS, HOOD, TRUNK ETC, WERE REPLACED WITH NEW.

MECHANICALLY, IT IS A GO ANYWHERE CAR. THE MOTOR HAS LESS THAN 100 MILES SINCE REBUILD, THE HYDRAMATIC TRANSMISSION WORKS PERFECTLY, AND THE WIDE WHITE WALL TIRES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. EVERY GAUGE WORKS, AS WELL AS, THE ORIGINAL RADIO, AND CLOCK. ALL GLASS IS INTACT, WITH NO HAZE SHOWING. THERE ARE SOME VERY MINOR CHIPS IN THE WINDSHIELD. THE GLASS IS THE ORIGINAL DURALITE SHOWING THE FACTORY MARKINGS ON EACH PIECE.
