Description
Growing up at the beach, we saw many cars like this that surfers rode with their boards on the top. There is some confusion as to what a "Woodie" is. Some people think it refers to wagons, other people think its a certain make and model, but really a Woodie is a car body style with rear bodywork constructed of wood framework with infill wood panels. Originally, wood framework augmented the car’s structure, with the passenger compartment of the car actually made out of wood, where later models featured applied wood and wood-like elements. This style became quickly iconic and recognized in American culture - European, German and Asian Automakers rarely offered it as an option. It became the surfers go to car and heard in songs from the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean.
