R: Recent Sale of 1940 Ford Deluxe
Dear Wes and Gary:
Just a belated note to thank you for all your remarkable efforts in the recent sale of my old woodie. The entire transaction was absolutely seamless, and I cannot tell you how much I appreciated all your efforts--especially your calling me regularly to keep me posted.
I had a nice chat with a Texas owner who is considering selling his 46 Ford and hope that my good experience help him in his decision. If I can speak to any other potential owners or consignors, I would be
pleased to do so.
I also spoke and e-mailed your friend Mr. Ben Tracy regarding an ad for Woodie Times. I wrote him a few lines saying how satisfied I was as well. And incidentally, I have given the name of your transporter to two old car enthusiasts in my town, telling them that he was professional, knowledgeable and thorough. Come to think of it, much like
yourselves.
Many thanks again.
Sincerely,
Phil Tilney

While I have worked with Wes for many years and made the final deal with him
for purchase of my '48 Ford woodie, my "go-to" guy was Gary Clark at the
Laguna Niguel branch of WoodiesUSA. Gary spent over two hours going through
every detail of the car and has been thoroughly knowledgeable and helpful on
follow-up questions over the phone. You will not find two better true
gentlemen to buy or sell your woodie with than Wes and Gary.

What a joy it was to visit and meet Wes on our trip to
Arizona a few years back. The grand tour of his woodies was exciting and it peaked our interest in finding that
just right woodie. Wes is not only honorable in every way, his professional follow through in every detail made
for an extraordinary experience. We now have the woodie of our dreams and we couldn't be more delighted. I'd
highly recommend to anyone in the market to buy or sell a woodie to contact Wes.

Woodies USA:
I decided to sell my 1936 Ford Woodie, she was in our family since the 70’s.
I called up some woodie Club friends; they all said “Wes at Woodies USA is the only one for that”.
Our major situation was that I don’t live in the continental USA, I’m in Puerto
Rico, so trust is first. Wes has the reputation for that.
We never met, but our phone calls and e-mails were
great. I shipped my woodie to Florida, then Wes took over. He had a car carrier deliver it to Arizona,
detailed my car to his specs, and in no time he had it sold. I had a second Woodie for sale, Wes advised me on her sale, thanks for that also.
Yes, my woodie club friends were right, he was the person for that. Wes is a professional in what he does. Everything came out
perfect. We never meet, but by phone you can tell your woodie is in the right hands.
"Muchas Gracias from the Island of Enchantment”

I own and operate a wood restoration
business. When Wes hires my shop for wood work on his woodies, he's
a joy to do business with. He knows what he wants. He pays his
bills.
When customers ask me about buying
or selling a woodie, I tell them if they're really serious, there's
only one guy to call, and that's Wes.
Wes is the kind of guy you can leave your
house with and go on vacation. A joy to know. A real class act.
He sold my 39 Chevy woodie for me and the
deal went through without a hitch.

Woodies USA:
I kept seeing woodies I was interested in
on the Woodies USA website, but by the time I got around to calling,
they were sold.
When I saw a Ford woodie I liked, I
didn't delay. I called right away, put a deposit on it, saw it that
weekend, and bought it.
What I liked about doing business with
Wes was...no hassle, no problems, no surprises..
He was excellent to do business with. I
still monitor his web site everyday.
The Ford woodie I bought was my 5th
woodie. I love them. I'll probably buy another one.

Woodies USA:
I'd been disappointed on several
occasions in trying to buy a woodie. Then I heard about Wes.
In the process, I ended up buying a 48
Chevrolet woodie. The reason I felt comfortable with the deal was
the way Wes handled himself. He described the car accurately. No
hype. No sales pressure. He told the truth.
All the details were taken care of
without any surprises or delays, including the shipping of the car.
Everything worked out well. It was a
great way to buy a car. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Woodies USA:
I was curious as to what my woodie was
worth.
I called Wes and we discussed it. I liked
what he said. In no time at all we agreed on a price, and without a
hitch he had my 47 Ford woodie, and I had my money.
Wes was very professional, very nice to
deal with. If I decide to buy another woodie, Wes is the only person
I'd even consider calling.
I see now why everybody in the
"woodie world" is such a fan of Wes. He's tops.

Woodies USA:
I'd been casually wanting and looking for
a woodie for sometime. A 48 Pontiac woodie in the Woodie Times and
on the Woodies USA website caught my eye.
I called and talked with Wes. One week to
the day, the '48 Pontiac woodie was in my driveway.
What impressed me was the amount of
information Wes had on the car, and the way he stayed on top of
things.
No delays. No problems.
Without question, if you're in the market
to buy or sell a woodie, Wes is your guy.

Woodies USA:
I had a woodie I wanted to sell.
Wes' ad caught my eye in Woodie Times.
After we talked Wes flew out, looked the car, took photos, and paid
me on the spot.
If I were to buy another woodie, I'd go
straight to Wes.
The more I talk with people who know
about woodies, the more I understand why Wes' reputation has
literally exploded in the world of woodies. Buy or sell, there's no
need to talk with anybody but Wes.

Car guys can be so flaky. It's why I
appreciate Wes so much - He's 100% on the other end of the spectrum.
I had a '49 Buick woodie to sell. After
doing business with Wes it was evident why his reputation is well
earned. Wes not only has great follow up skill, his people skills
are also exceptional.
Being in sales myself, I understand and
appreciate credibility and integrity. In my book Wes gets high marks
on all counts.

Woodies USA:
For a year I was searching for that
"just right" woodie. A woodie club member recommended I
check out Woodies USA on the web. I did and saw one I liked.
However, not being one to make quick decisions, by the time I called
on it, it had been sold.
In the process I got to know Wes, liked
the personable feel of the conversation and told Wes the kind of
woodie I was looking for. He said he thought a '47 Ford woodie he
had coming would be just the ticket.
I sent a deposit, flew out, we had lunch,
checked the car out, and the deal was done.
Wes arranged for the transportation, and
handled all the details.
No question in my mind. If you're in the
marker for a woodie, Wes is the man. He's tops.

Woodies USA:
I was flying
out to a car show...called ahead to make
an appointment with Wes, as he had a
woodie I was interested in.
From our first
telephone conversation I felt
comfortable. My instincts told me what
I'd been hearing about Wes was true.
As it turned
out Wes had another one I liked better, a
'51 Ford woodie.
We made the
deal and I couldn't be happier. Wes is
100% there for you.

Woodies USA:
It wasn't an
easy decision to sell our Ford woodie.
We looked for
over a year, before we found it, fell in
love with it, and won awards with it. But
after seven years, it was time to sell.
Because we
wanted it to go to a good home, we went
directly to Wes. Wes' reputation is
legendary , and we wouldn't consider
doing business with anybody else.
When Wes heard
about the car, he immediately sent us a
deposit, flew out, checked out the car
and in no time the deal was done.
Whether you
want to buy or sell a woodie, you won't
find anybody better than Wes to do
business with.

Woodies USA:
It's my dream
car. I drive it everywhere. It's the talk
of the town - my yellow '50 Ford woodie I
got from Wes.
What impressed
me was the fact that when I had some
electrical problems with the car, Wes
said for me to buy what I needed and he'd
take care of it. I did and he paid the
bill. In my book, that's class.
It's easy for
people to say what they'll do, doing it
is another. With Wes, there's never any
hesitation. Answers, follow-up, whatever
is needed, Wes does it.
If I were to buy
another woodie - I'd go straight to Wes.
