For 1940, Buick had 495 copies of this woody wagon the bodies of which were built by Biehl Body Company in West Reading PA.

David,
Your photos are exceptional. I have a hard time seeing what is scale and what is real!

Impressive photography, model and full sized vehicle. Thanks David.
Wonderful comparison shots David. Thanks.
Interesting auto body plate. I thought all Buick woodies, and steel wagons to at least 1958, were done by Ionia Manufacturing. The three big woody makers were Cantrell, Hercules, and Ionia, but there must have been others. Lots more detail on Biehl Auto Body here:

Brooklin made an excellent model in this 1940 Buick. David, your comparison photos are fantastic.

@john-quilter the model is all crooked on the left side. This was not the best they did.
