I forgot to tell you that I live in Boise, Idaho. My husband and I have traveled to look at three different cars (not Woodies) and before I pursued another make of car I needed to know what I was getting us into. All the advice I have received has been great! Thank you all for taking the time to help me,

You all have been so helpful... thank you! The system wouldn’t allow me to respond because I had reached my post limits. What a wealth of knowledge! I am so glad I found this forum!

You all have been so helpful....thank you!

Told you I was a rookie....by tin woody, I mean a car that looks like a woody but instead of wood, it has vinyl on the outside. Check out 1950 Chevy “tin woody”wagon on EBay Motors.

There’s a 1950 Chevy tin woody on EBay without vinyl......one that may be worthy?

Rusty and John, I like the wagons with the wood vinyl....not real wood (too much maintenance). You’re right about the search....it may take awhile but I can be patient (I hope).... just waiting for the right one. I am torn between a tin woody and a station wagon. I think a nine passenger wagon would be a great party car! Throw in the grandkids and family .....and develop memories!

Thanks Rusty! I did not see that article...It’s looking like I will need to look for a station wagon....a tin woody may be either too much work or any that meet my needs would be too expensive.

Thank you....appreciate your guidance.

Not sure what you mean....I am just looking right now. I really appreciate your assistance with the makes that would be less expensive. This is a retirement present to myself and haven’t decided on a make or model yet. The tin woodies are so cool.... I really like them.

Thank you Brass is Best and John for your timely responses. I am a VW woman and want to buy another classic. I love station wagons but am a total rookie with tin woodies so your expertise has been very helpful.

Thank you...l’ll check out the utube videos....appreciate your guidance!

I’m new to the tin woody but love them. Occasionally I find a tin woody without the vinyl wraparound wood. (I have champagne tastes but on a beer budget.). Are there kits? Are they hard to install?
