Woodie, Woody, Shooting Brake, Beak Bois...whatever name you choose to use, vehicles with wood bodies possess style and character missing in today's robotically built steel vehicles. Once, almost every conveyance was made of wood: boats, chariots, wagons, trains, even airplanes. The wood-sided wagons, convertibles, sedans and trucks seen all wear the vestigial tails of their wooden predecessors. In their heyday, woodies were often the most expensive cars offered by a manufacturer and many tallied impresive sales figures. Woodies have always satisfied the need for stylish transport of people and parcels. The earliest woodie automobiles were utilitarian adaptations of the 'Rockaway' horse-drawn carriage and canopied express trucks. By the thirites, fashionable American woodie station wagons were pressed into service by lodges, inns and country clubs. At about the same time, wealthy landowners with country estates adopted the woodie for suburban transportation frequently with a chauffeur at the wheel. During the World War II, wood construction saved steel for critical war-time uses. After the war, the middle class found mass-produced woodie wagons perfect for family travels. This stunning example of the 1936 Ford Woodie truly shows the craftsmanship that went into these vehicles. With the original Ford 8 cylinder engine, and completely restored to its concours winning condition, don't miss this rare opportunity to own this true American classic.
