Woodie Wagon Day is celebrated in the United States.
Everyone interested in automobiles, especially cars and vintage cars can celebrate Woodie Wagon Day.
It is unknown when Woodie Wagon Day first started, but it is celebrated on the third Saturday of July.
It is not known who started Woodie Wagon Day.
A woodie wagon is a station wagon whose body is made of wood instead of steel. Once woodies gained popularity, many manufacturers started producing them in bulk, especially carmakers such as Ford. Though woodies were in demand and famous, making these vehicles became difficult due to the extensive work and cost. Companies such as Ford even started growing their own trees that they could cut and use to produce woodies. As the production of woodie wagons became more difficult and expensive, the demand for them also reduced gradually. The production of wagons officially stopped in the '50s. Later, when steel cars came onto the market, woodie wagons also reduced.
There are no particular traditions and customs related to Woodie Wagon Day. It is even unknown when and who started the celebration of Woodie Wagon Day, but it is celebrated on the third Saturday of July every year to recognize this classic wagon.
To observe Woodie Wagon Day, we can visit a vintage car showroom, try going on a woodie ride, or watch a short film or documentary about the history of vintage cars or woodies.
This day is observed in honor of woodie wagons and the people who invented them.
Woodie station wagons were first made by Henry Ford.
The Super Estate Wagon and the Roadmaster Estate Wagon by Buick were the last manufactured with wood paneling in the year 1953.
Manufacturers do not make any woodie cars anymore.
