Gallery Woodie Design GuideAn excerpt from the Station Wagon Manual, published 1950 in Australia
Design for the period of Chassis
Models illustrated below show how a body can be kept in harmony with the vintage or size of chassis. For Instance, Fig. 1 shows a low h.p. Two Door Design. Fig. 2 for the medium h.p. class. Fig. 3 shows a modern-door American type. Costs could be saved by making the second doors dummy. Fig. 4 fits the 1930 class. Fig. 5 is for pre-war American cars. Figs. 6, 7 and 8 are glamourized versions of today's chassis. the utility of a station wagon's rear doors is enhanced by a low floor when it is to be used for carrying goods. It should be free from the internal elbows of the petrol-filler pipe and the tanks themselves should nestle as low as possible to save flooring height.
