Ford Woodies: America's Favorite Station Wagons, 1929-51
- When you think of Woodies, you’ve got the 1929 to
1951 Fords in mind. Always the most popular station wagons
during that time with their sporty wood-paneled bodies, they
were the ones that met the trains in old movies, the ones
California surfers and the Beach Boys made so famous, and
the ones still often sighted on the road today. "They
are to cars," says Architectural Digest, referring to
their gleaming maple craftsmanship, "what Chippendale
is to furniture." Now some of the hottest collector cars
on the planet, these unique America auto legends are rediscovered
in FAMOUS FORD WOODIES for new fans and old by veteran Ford
historian Lorin Sorensen.
