Unlike most of the other body styles mentioned here, Chevrolet only supplied the passenger or commercial chassis and the buyer was susposed to locate and buy the  Station Wagons 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 Master 85 chassis.  In 1940, 367 rear door wagons were built on Deluxe Chassis.  If you have a photo of a wagon with a door, I'd sure like to see it.  Click here to contact me at <c1937@znet.com>.

    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.  Here's  a 37 I'd like to own. The Campbell ad below indicated that no liftgate was available and an end cutrain was optional.  The Cantrell also has "poke-a-dot" connectors for end curtain.

Oh where to put the spare tire???   (Remember that the Coupe - Sedan Delivery tank would consume the back seat foot well so the Coach - Sedan tank occupied the space under the rear.)  On the Campbell above, the tailgate is heavy and hits the rear bumper when lowered. I've seen several with the center portion of the bumper cut away.  On the Cantrell below, the hood hits the SideMount every time you try to open the left side.  The rear bumper appears to be same as trunkless Deluxe Sedan.  The Cantrell below, does not appear to have a lift gate either.

 

    1949 mid production was the first time Chevrolet officially made a metal wagon on a passenger chassis.  Burb is on a truck chassis.  So what is this pictured below??    It was for sale in Colorado several years ago.  The price was way too much for it's condition.  The seller wouldn't disclose the name of the new owner.  He said there was no Fisher body plate under the hood.
     The rear door appears to be Sedan Delivery.  If someone cut the windows out of a Sedan and patched them in, why not include the back door?  The "C" pillar appears a bit wider than a sedan.  They did a remarkablly good job.  It's the only smooth body panel on the vehicle.

   The last mystery is where is the gas tank located?  I don't see any filler spout behind the right wheel as in the sedan nor do I see a spout ahead of the wheel as in the sedan delivery.
. 
    Just when I thought I'd seen one of a kind, I looked in the background of a photo of a sport coupe from Sweeden and there's another one.  Could this be a body style available only in Europe?

Sir,

I´m just the one that took the photo of a ´37 coupe with a yellow/grey 1937
mystery car in background. Since I new the history of this car, I can tell
you that it originally was one 4 door 1938 sedan and one burned out 1937
delivery sedan. These two cars were merged together and side windows has
been cut out the delivery´s sides (its a one piece glass that goes from
"B"-pillar and back)  I do not remember the owners name, but I know his
hometown is Karlskoga, Sweden.
