In the month of June every year, about 200 woody cars participate at an event called Woodies On the Wharf in Santa Cruz. This year, the Woodies on the Wharf was held on Saturday, June 27 and there were over 200 wooden-bodied cars from as far away as British Columbia. After looking at the woody cars from the 2008 Woodies on the Wharf event, I must say that every car showcased at the event is an ultimate collectible car. These old woody cars are a real beauty to look at. A woody is type of a car with rear portion of the bodywork made of wood. The wood is covered in a clear varnish, either over the entire wooden area or only on the framework. In Europe, early woodies were by and large built on luxury car platforms, such as Rolls-Royce. Anyway, the woodies have been produced from all kinds of cars. Pricing for a woodie usually starts at $50,000 and goes as high as $200,000. Hit the jump to see some of the woody cars from the last year’s event.
