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.The story of all the beautifully crafted 1929–51 Ford woody models, with the original company publicity photos and press releases.Includes more than 200 black-and-white and color photographs.A book that takes you back to America'¬?s great era of automobile craftsmanship.

Wooden-bodied shooting brakes, station wagons and estate cars, collectively known as Woodies, were the original SUVs (sports utility vehicles). While they were initially created for a specific purpose, their versatility, adaptability and load-carrying abilities meant that they quickly found favour with British buyers from all walks of life. In their heyday, they were built on virtually every make of car and light commercial chassis, and could be seen on every road in Britain. Sadly, today they are a rarity due mostly to the fact that their wooden bodies were not built to last – and most didn’t! Thousands were built by hundreds of coachbuilders, both large and small, and with the passage of time it may never be possible to record all of their details with any accuracy. The work of hundreds of small coachbuilder firms is highlighted and illustrated with 99 rare and previously unpublished photos of these wooden wonders.

Call the kids, grab the picnic basket, and load up the wagon for this colorful salute to the great American family hauler. The entire evolution of the station wagon is examined, from the "depot hacks" that shuttled passengers to their trains in the 1920s to today's popular SUVs and minivans. The emphasis, however, is decidedly on the fantastic classics that came into their own during the postwar boom of the 1950s and '60s, including the Chevrolet Nomad, Pontiac Safari, Studebaker Wagonaire, and Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Also included are beautiful woodys from several manufacturers and rare wagons from bygon manufacturers like Packard. The wonderful images in this nostalgic, one-of-a-kind history include period color photography, fascinating print advertisements, and exclusive modern color photographs of lovingly restored wagons.

Long before the sport utility vehicle revolution, surfers on the Southern California coast discovered the perfect vehicle for hauling their boards, beer, and buddies to the beach. Wood-paneled wagons and trucks were produced for a relatively short time, but by the mid-1960s, old ones were available in abundance and on the cheap: a surfer could plunk down less than $100 and drive off with what has since become a classic. Immortalized in the songs of the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean, woodies have a following unlike that of any other collector automobile. Increasingly rare, difficult to restore, and demanding rigorous care and maintenance, these once-cheap utility vehicles have become among the most desirable and expensive of all classic cars.
