The 1:1 had to be expensive. Probably worth alot today.

Also my favorite Woody. I've seen a 1:1 of this beauty, and DM captured it in all its glory.

As Always Richard
Just awesome photos. I wonder how many of these 42s were made before the war.

(PICS) Richard, there's a quick, easy fix for the tall suspension height
I love this '42 T&C as well but I found that the front suspension looked too extended (as if the motor had been removed for maintenance).
By squeezing down on the front suspension, a vertical rod extends up past the upper A-Arm. By inserting a spacer on the top of that rod, it limits the downward travel and makes the ride-height look more comfortable. For the spacer, I used a short section of aluminum tubing which I split so it could be inserted on the rod and then pinched closed to be permanent. I've happily done this quick fix for many of my local friends DM T&Cs. If you ever get to Ottawa, bring yours along and it'll be lowered in a few minutes.
