Description
This 1949 Woody plymouth was photographed at the Melbourne, Florida car show. Watermark will not appear on purchased items.
1950 was the last year the woodie was built. With the end of the woodie so ended an era -- the last of the wood bodied cars. Progress had marched ahead several steps and the woodie wagon could no longer compete effectively in the market place. The cars were expensive to build, and expensive to maintain. Maintenance, or the lack of it, is probably the reason so few woodie wagons remain today. The factory recommended redoing the wood work yearly--for most owners that was a service procedure that was ignored. Dry rot, termites, fire--all took their toll on the wooden bodies. An auto accident -- forget it, most body shops wouldn't touch a repair on a wooden body for love or money.
