Woodies on the Wharf
Every year in June, about 200 woody cars take part in an event called Woodies On the Wharf in Santa Cruz. This year, the Woodies on the Wharf exhibited over 200 wooden-bodied cars from as far away as British Columbia. These old woody cars are a real joy to look at. If you are not familiar, a woody is type of a car with a rear part of the bodywork made of wood.
The wood is then finished in a clear varnish, either over the entire wooden area or just on the framework. In Europe, early woodies were usually built on luxury car platforms, such as Rolls-Royce. Woodies have been produced from all kinds of cars and makers. Pricing for a restored woodie may start around $50,000 and could go as high as $200,000.
