Hi. I own a 41 Cantrell bodied woodie wagon. I was told it might have been owned by Agnes Moorehead (among others). Does anyone have any solid information tying ANY 1941 wagon to a celebrity in either private or movie life?

Thanks, Robert Blake
I just posted a commercial car album in the gallery - one of the photo's is a 1941 station wagon.

There were so few of those 41 Hudson woody wagons made that I think you would have to trace out the VIN number to confirm if a celebrity owned it.
Here's a link to another car that supposedly was owned by Moorehead: an odd 1940s Mercury. http://www.youtube.com/embed/IAwrLI269S0?hl=en&fs=1
She was in the movie Citizen Kane which was produced/released in 1941, the year the Hudson was new, so perhaps you could see if there are any Hollywood photos or archives that mention her and this car. so if she owned one of these Hudsons, it would have most likely been purchased and titled in CA. That was her debut movie performance, but she was a part of it because she was a member of Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre, which moved to Hollywood to make the movie Citizen Kane (eventually) in 1939. Overall, a very interesting celebrity that has been dead nearly 40 years now.
