REMEMBER THE 1951 FORD WOODY WAGON?

1951 Ford Woody Wagon

By 1951, woody wagons had been around for more than two
decades, but that didn’t stop manufacturers from cranking
out new renditions. Ford’s 1951 Woody Wagon was put
together with individual pieces of planking rather than the
traditional solid pieces. The 1951 Ford and Mercury wagons
broke woody production records and set an all-time high.

They were also the most expensive models in their lines. But
what really cemented 1951 woodies in history was the fact
that it was the last year Ford and Mercury models used real
wood for the bodies.
