I don't know what wood was used. It is a harder than pine so I guess it could be ash. I could be Maple remenants left over from Station Wagon manufacturing. Or, Ford could have used whatever was available for the least cost, keeping with his way. Ray Nasciwitz(sorry Ray if I spelled it wrong) may have a handle on the type of wood used. Ken

thanks 39 Ken! I can't tell you how much those help! The second photo also shows what I think is called the trunk strainer (spare tire rack) and my 39 is missing that as well. Who knows why anyone would have removed these things, but your photos really help. Do you know what kind of wood was used? Ash maybe???

TomO: I'm almost done painting and then I'll pull the masking out and take a good look. What you've described makes sense. Car has been sitting idle 50 years, so there are more than a couple mysteries! Thanks!

Parrish, If the seat is the one piece back rest, the seat back rest is attached to a wooden frame with top mounted hinges to allow the back rest to be raised to gain access to the storage area. The wooden frame is attached to the seat bottom, so that it can move with the adjustment. There is a cloth strip (same material as the sidewall cloth) to fill the gap between the wooden frame and the package shelf. If your seat back flexes too much, there may be broken parts in the wooden frame.

thanks guys. If the seatback is supported by the 3 inch tall wood running across the back and attached to the package tray , what happens when the seat cushion slides in either direction??? Seatback just angles a little either way???

parrish, if you have the correct seat the backrest is not attached to the shelf. There is a "dust cover"(cloth) that goes between the seat and the shelf to stop anything from falling between the seat and the shelf. As C.Gor states there is a 2"x2" board that goes from the center of the shelf to the drive shaft tunnel to support the shelf. In addition, on the front part of the shelf there is a 3/4" X 4" piece of wood that is the length of the shelf and is fastened at a right angle to the front of the shelf.
