His info saved and posted is by vast majority model T ford related. The company also made bodies for other vehicles.The car Ben restored, the 1928 ford station wagon is right at the end of production, when the M-P company was then bought by General Motors, and renamed the Chevrolet Body Division. Ben’s beautiful 1928 wagon is one of 3 or 4 know survivors, and likely Ford , although having provided the vast majority of the auto platforms for most of the years of M-P offerings, dealt the death blow when they came out with their own wood bodied vehicle in December 1928, the Model A station wagon. These were the first complete factory offerings of a wood bodied vehicle. I hope you can take a minute and check out this site. Another way in is just to google Martin-Parry.com

Ben Purkey retired as a school teacher in the PNW , and spends his time between Mexico and the PNW . About the time he started restoring a very rare early model A station wagon with a Martin-Parry aftermarket body, he started assembling this amazing website. I think about 10 years ago . Sorry I don’t really know how to post a link, but instead I am posting a screen grab. This amazing link shows just a sliver of what info Ben has accumulated and freely shared. Ben is afraid now the website is reaching its limits, and would be a real shame to lose it.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Martin-Parry website
I updated my registry with MP site. Ben added it last night. The 1st link Frank posted has my truck. The 1st photos is a slide show if you click on them. It is a great site to have when trying to figure out what body you have and details.
