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.
