Good Morning, I am selling my 1948 Mercury Woodie. It can be restored to 99% original wood and has all original metal pieces. This is a project without to much left to do. It is rare to find one this complete. Ihave a lot more pictures too. If you are interested please contact Ron at 209-603-6981 or Melissa (myself) at 209-947-5062. We have stored this lovely piece of history in our shop in Gustine for years now and have just put it on the market. Thank you for your time, Melissa --

response to ker22: your comment seeking a woody for a wedding posted but your email address didn't. We have a 1964 Ford Country Squire that is not a true woody in that it doesn't have actual wood on the sides but it does have the woody look. It is a gorgeous car that everyone loves and it photographs well. If you are interested, email me at dentexpert@msn.com.

The photo titled 48 Olds Woodie (red paint) is not a 48. It is probably a 47. The hood emblem changed from shield shape to oval shape in 48. Retro-Rick Owner of a 46 Olds Woodie (only 140 produced due to GM strike).

I am looking to rent a woodie and other vintage cars for a trade show in Palm Springs Sept. 17th...can anyone help?

Very nice! As a former everyday '48 Plymouth Woodie driver I appreciate the work it takes to keep these wooden wonders alive. I drove mine with no roof, no rear doors, no windows, and tailgate in varying combinations as I tried to catch up, and then keep up with the neverending task of wood maintenance. Wish you had gotten a side shot of that Chrysler T&C sedan with the split deck lid. Most people are familiar with the convertibles but the sedans are not shown much. I was the 3rd owner of my car which was bought new in downtown Houston TX. It spent the 60s and half the 70s in Grandma's garage in the Myerland area. As far I know it is still in a garage in the Northshore area. I sold it (the engine had dropped a piston) to a UT college student who parked it at his Dad's house. My wife and I took our twin girls to the drive-in movies many times with their playpen in back instead of seats!

Thanks for letting me relive the Great Santa Barbara "Woodies on the Beach" Dan Simmons

Sir: Great Shots, and do they bring back the memories! Couple points; year is wrong on a couple of the cars. Need to check those better. One I noticed in particular was a 1947 Olds labeled as a pre-war 1938 Pontiac on the top of page 2! Then the same (or one like it), car is labeled a '38 Olds on p 5. Perhaps you got the years from the owners; hope they know what they have! Also, a '48 Chevvie is properly labeled, then later on the same car is labeled a '47. ('47 grille looked like the '48, without the overarching "T" bar front and center.) The DeSoto labeled 1941 on p 2, is actually a '47 or '48. And just below it is a '38 Pontiac. That Pontiac Woodie on p 3, 3rd row, is actually a '42. Well, no matter. They all look beautiful; thank you ever so much for providing the pictures. As a '34 myself, I lived through the years of all of the cars pictured, and rode in many of them over the years. Thanks again, Ted Johansson
