One of my favorite woody models is this 1937 Studebaker by Crown Premiums, and is also by far the cheapest. Going for around $40, the model is extremely well done with real wooden panels and operating features. Over the years the tooling cost for this model have been amortized 10 times over with a whole series variants and liveries including a hearse. This, I believe, was the first run at least 20 years ago as a surf wagon. The model has proper hinges and a pretty significant parts count. It definitely holds its own against the Mint offerings.

Rich I have to agree. I have I believe 3 different versions of the Stude Woodie by CP. I always thought that their cars were almost equal to the DM and FM Cars and even better than some of the early releases by both mints.

I'm not disappointed with a single CP model I have. They definitely hold their own against the Mint Models. That's a beauty Rich. 💯😎
