successful year. Production for the year totalled 27,679 cars. The station wagon was the most popular model in 1948 and was priced at a bit over $900.00.

The panels on the rear quarters of this car have a wicker pattern. Woodgrain panels may also have been available.

The grill bars and bullet nose on this car identify it as being manufactured in late 1948, which was the third year for this body style, so the company tried to "refresh" the look of the cars with the bars and nose.

all on the same chassis.
