Hi Bill. All the photos I have are of Aussie Utes, Panel Vans and cars. Not a 1939 station wagon anywhere.

Cheers
Cliff

Thanks Cliff:

I suppose I could convert it to a panel van in a pinch. It is very thick metal and to do a Ute would be a bit too much of a job for me. I may also have a look at my Chev catalogs for 1939 and 1940 to see the detail differences between the two years and maybe try to change it to a 1940.

Edit: Here is a catalog photo off their website. Sorry, it was a very small photo

Bill the front is different and would be a big job to change the grill. I found the attached photo for you but am not quite sure if it is the model you seek.

Hi Cliff:

Well..............you have the right model but there is no way I can do all of those mods on a metal vehicle.

I am going to go ahead and do the painting and kitting out as a "military" 1939Chevrolet station wagon and hope I find someday photographic evidence of such a vehicle in real life. I will post a photo when I am done.

Bill
