montie Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hi guys, I have asked in another thread already but got no answer. I would like more detail and info on this Dodge, please. It is American. afterall. It seemed to have been a staff vehicle of some sort. Monty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montie Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 No, not yet, it one of many Dodges on this yard. It does intrigue me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Are you seriously saying seeing a pile of classic vehicles slowly rotting dosen't even slightly twist your flintish old heart? :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Are you seriously saying seeing a pile of classic vehicles slowly rotting dosen't even slightly twist your flintish old heart? :-D Where did I say that? However since you mention it and as I don't have your irrational awe of anything with the name Dodge on it I can't see anything classic about most of the junk lying there.

montie Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 Hi guys, It always has been like that, one see trash, another see gold! I am not sure about the definition of "classic" or what is collectable and what not. Never had the luxury to say "been there, done that, got the T-shirt" with most of these old vehicles. Tony, another for you. Degsy, Dodge don't do it for you, would any of these qualify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 The Woody is a 48-up chassis cowl with a Woody body, probably by Campbell or the like. Someone has done half a job of converting it to right hand drive maybe? They are rare, and desirable, but that one seems to need a little work. I have not memory of them actually being bought by the military on a procurement contract though. Closest thing to military would be conversions of surplus VC 1 Command Cars to Woodies, which were quite nice.

Degsy Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Hi Montie, I have nothing against Dodges, I like to see and am interested in all vehicles just that I don't see them as the greatest thing since sliced bread or superior to everything else as another member does.

Tony B Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Careful Degsey, the Dodge is the love of my life! :-D (Sad I know) Though I do find scrap yarda a bit deppresing. Thinking of all the joy and swank the original owner of a vehicle probably had. Then to see them just rusting away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More here; http://www.oldwoodies.com/gallery-bus.htm Hi Gordon, I will spend more time there next time I visit and fish for more info from the owner. There are a couple of vehicles I would like to discuss with him ( that Scammell Pioneer begging for attention for instance:cool2::cool2::cool2:) Haven't had the chance yet. Funds are a problem because of having too much hay on my fork, but then, what the heck! Cheers, Monty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
