Not everything that turned out of the pre-war coachbuilders’ shops was some outlandish show car for the ultra-rich. Instead, many times, they were simply called upon to build exactly what somebody of means wanted when the automakers didn’t. Thus is the story behind the 1939 Chrysler Imperial woodie wagon that Bohman and Schwartz built in 1941 for a Southern Californian homebuilder, as related by Robert F. Mehl in SIA #84, December 1984.
