This same year and model Chrysler Station Wagon SOLD at auction in 2014 for $148. 00   (see below) click here  http://www. goodingco. com/vehicle/1949-chrysler-royal-wagon/

When World War II ended and automobile production resumed. most of the vehicles produced were of pre-War design.  Some had slight modifications and it took several years for the automakers to introduce totally new vehicles.    For Chrysler. that year was 1949. when they introduction their first postwar all-new styling change.     1949 also marked the company's 25th year in business.  
In addition to the styling changes. Chrysler introduced a station wagon. a bodystyle that had not been part of the company's lineup since 1942.   During 1949. Chrysler produced just 850 examples of the Royal Station Wagon out of the 124. 18 vehicles built by Chrysler.   Chevrolet produced 10. 71 wagons and Ford 13. 12 station wagons.    Clearly. this was a small. niche market.  Woodies were rare when they were produced and in modern times. they still remain rare.  
This old girl was in storage for many years along with her sister car a 4 door example.      The donor was last tagged in 1956 and had only been on the road for 7 short years.
We took any and all parts from that donor car that we could possibly use for the Station Wagon.
This is what has been done so far.
