The V-8 Album, published in 1985 by the Early Ford V8 Club, shows the following numbers for Standard Fords: 5-Window Coupe -- 33,693 Business Coupe -- 16,785 Tudor Sedan -- 150,933 Fordor Sedan -- 25,545 Station Wagon -- 4,469 (I have not yet seen a Standard Station Wagon)

There ABSOLUTELY was a 40 Std wagon. On this one you are incorrect.

Here is a link to a picture of one of Nick Alexander's 40 Std woodies before the big sale. This one happens to have a Marmon Harrington 4WD. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2758249210045557307ECuFxV

Are there 1940 production numbers for 60hp units? Also were any Deluxe 40's with 60hp engines?

I also had a standard wagon (40) but I have also seen a picture with about 25 standard and one delux wagon painted army green and heading to Canada for the war effort.

According to Lorin Sorensen's book Famous Ford Woodies there were 3,255 standard station wagons built in 1940 with 85hp V8 engines and 2 with the 60 hp engines. For comparison there were 8,114 1940 deluxe wagons built with the 85hp V8 and 354 with the 95hp V8. Must have been quite a difference performance wise between a wagon with a 60 hp engine and one with a 95 hp engine.

I have the actual production figures for all of 1940. It is broken down by model as well as respective engine installation. Yes, there were 161 DeLuxe models (total) equipped with 60H.P. engines. There were both DeLuxe and "Standard" models equipped with the 95 H.P. (Merc) engines. Mike Kubarth
