English Ford Woody Wins Our Heart in Scottsdale

English Ford Woody

If there's one thing I like about the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction it's the company's ability to attract the unexpected. For example, I never thought I'd see a 1956 English Ford Squire Woody Wagon but there it was, under one of the canvas roofs behind the stadium-size auction tent, looking smart and friendly with its fire-engine red paint job. Frankly I couldn't recall English Ford wagons of this type ever being imported to North America until I thought back a long way and remembered various Anglias and even Prefects making it to our shores. In fact I briefly owned one of those Prefects, given to me by a cousin when he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. Technically it's a Thames (Ford of Britain's truck division) but is based on the Anglia sedan. This baby was restored 500 miles ago, came with sliding side windows, buckets, and an all-new interior. The 4-cylinder engine has been rebuilt and moderately modified, inasmuch as the window sticker indicated twin SU carburetors and a sports cam. It sold for $15,000, a most reasonable sum for a little red charmer.
