Event Coverage Woodies on the Wharf (Great Show)

thats don bryants car.. ( i think)

and your correct. it is one of very few.. i've been hoping one of the pa crew would donate a truck for similar purposes.

 

No, we were in an O/T rental car with our friends who are visiting from back home in England.

 

I am an avid fan of Woodies, and want to thank you for posting these. Woodies are extremly rare in Oklahoma, so I rarely see one.

If you would, please post more close up shots of the doors, tailgates, etc. I am also an avid wood worker, and love studying the various joints used to piece these cars together.

Thanks again,
Randy

 

Woodies are so cl***y and the craftsmanship is wonderful to take in...Great job on the coverage...thanks

 

Thanx for sharing these unbelievable rides, man what a super variety of kind vehicles. I have stared at them for about an hour, and I will be back for more. Great stuff!! ~Sololobo~

 

Where else (apart from maybe Pebble Beach) are you gonna see 3 Chrysler Town & Country Woodies together? Great show...and its FREE too!

 

Wow FANTASTIC slide show.....you are soooo artistic
Thanks!!!!

 

Super pics of the show.....great job you did on all We were in Santa Cruz o6'
but missed the show there Thanks for makin us feel we were there

 

I agree thanks so much for jumping on 32Flat head GREAT SHOW

 

The Chrysler T&C Sedans and Convertibles are magnificent cars and the Plymouth/Dodge/DeSoto Wagons are very nice too. Notice how few Bumper(wagon people call them "beauty") bolts are used on the non-Ford wagons and the number of "fingers" in the finger joints are tellers for quality construction.
As an old fella once told me, Ford wagons were built by carpenters the others by cabinet makers. Not that I don't like Ford wagons, I do, but they are definitely not the tp of the quality scale.

 

Cool, now I have wood, thanks! - sort of I guess

 

A guy who lives near me has a 46-48,not sure,Woody 4X4 that was used at a snow resort. Was it there? He said it's very rare!

 

Thats why the Chrysler's are still mega money, the build quality is stunning on them.

 

I really enjoyed the photos, thanks for sharing.

 

Saw a lot of those cars heading north on the PCH last Thursday as we were heading south.........cool to see them running down the road!

I should have stayed in NorCal for the weekend instead of heading home!

Thanks for posting the pics, so many cool cars in one place!

 

I can't tell you how many time's I've missed this show sine I moved to California...I usually ended up going to Santa Cruz on the Sunday following the show & seeing a lot of woodies & realizing it was the day before!! On the mailing list now tho

 

Looks like a great location and some super woodies. Excellent photography makes you feel like you were there. Love the 35-36 Ford Woodies and there seems to be an abundance of 49, 50, & 51 Ford woodies. Great job and thanks for poasting.

 

Concretman thanks for the post, I had to cancell my room on Friday morning because of health issues I just finished my ride late last year and this was to be my first trip taking my woodie, hope next year to try it again, your pictures almost made me smell the salt air and feel that I was there, the 51 Ford wagon with the patina on the body and hood up is for sale in Canada if interested pm me seemed like a good buy................

 

I almost made it down this year...

Thanks for do***enting so well. Woodies rule.

 

This is my neighbor Rich. Built at home. frame, wood, paint....everything. Freakin amazing!!!!

 

Hey Plywude
See you next year
Your welcome

 

Glad you guys had a good time, and great photos CC-Man! It was our 15th annual W.O.W. and most of us felt it was one of the best ever. Being out on a wharf, the weather is critical to its success, and this year's weather kicked ***. It got pretty crowded -- there was also a Corona Beer beach Volleyball tournament at the foot of the wharf that added to the throngs -- but if you came early it was awesome. Here are some pics from around 7 a.m. Aloha!

 

Thanks Detonator for jumping on and adding some great shot's
32 Flathead added a great slide show also
was a great show ,perfect weather

 

Hey all, go to National Woodie Club .com web site. Anyone can join, you do not have to own a woodie. Good site, good people. There are also lots of great books available on Woodies or Woodys.
