Chevrolet Station Wagons

Chevrolet Wagon Production
taken from Station Wagons! and taken from Chevrolet Production Figures (1927-1957)

The first mention of Wagons is 1939 with a Midstate Body. Prior to that, Hercules, Campbell, Cantrell & others offered "Wood Wagon Bodies" to GM, IH, Dodge, and others.

Unlike most of the other body styles mentioned at the link above, (until 1939) Chevrolet only supplied the passenger or commercial chassis and the buyer was susposed to locate and buy the Station Wagon body.

In 1939, Chevrolet officially sold the MidStates bodied Woodie Wagon. The production figures indicate 201 wagons in 1939 were made with rear door on a Master 85 chassis. In 1940, 367 rear door wagons were built on the Deluxe Chassis.
