This 1940 International D-2 Westchester Suburban Woodie Wagon is extremely rare to see, The wood bodywork made the Station Wagon one of the most expensive vehicles offered by International, and the D-Series did not get a full model year in 1940 before its replacement was produced. This example showcases its turquoise color in a bold contrast to the rich wood paneling, resulting in a very eye-catching exterior. Rolling on 235/75R15 wide whitewall tires and clean chrome 15-inch rims, this wagon exudes classic style. Practical features like crank-out front windows for ventilation and sliding back windows demonstrate the thoughtful design of the period.
The three rows of seating is a distinct feature because it's a stock-style piece for when the idea of a car like this was to get people from the train station to their hotel/destination. A cloth bench seat adorns the front row, while second and third rows offer ample room for passengers or cargo and the all-wood headliner adds warmth and character to the cabin. Custom touches like the gear shift knob and factory-style AC vents integrated into the dash complement original elements such as the steering wheel and gauges, creating a cohesive and inviting space.
A 305 V8 engine powers this International, breathing through a Weber 4-barrel carburetor. It's paired with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission for smooth operation and improved highway driving. Power steering and brakes provide modern handling characteristics. The dual exhaust with MagnaFlow mufflers gives this woodie a subtle yet authoritative tone. A tubular A-arm front suspension with coil springs and swaybar, combined with a solid axle rear supported by leaf springs, delivers a comfortable ride while maintaining the vehicle's classic feel.
