Last summer my family and I along with my parents ventured up to the Glen Clayton Family Reunion to enjoy some good old Boise weather. We really enjoyed the trip...
...and ended up coming away with a crazy idea. My grandfather made a big mistake in letting me and my family drive his coveted 1929 Traveler. Which was the inspiration for Woodies World.
After driving many hours all over the Boise valley I like my grandfather fell madly in love with the classic Model A. Upon our returning from our said trip I told my Grandpa that we needed to build another Traveler. After much conversation, many long hours of research. a little stress, and a whole lot of fun we find ourselves building a 1929 Woody Station Wagon.
As my grandfather is excellent at metal work and assembly of anything Model A he will be assembling all of the metal pieces in Boise and graciously bringing it down to us in Tucson. Upon arrival my father and I will build and assemble all of the wood pieces. Along with making two kit cars for a gentleman in Grandpa's Model A Club.
The 1929 Woody Wagon was the first of it's kind for Ford. Although if you talk to the few who own a 1928 Woody Wagon they may argue with you. But for our purposes this was the start of a long Woody Wagon run for Ford and many other American car companies.
I hope this is something enjoyable for all those who read and informational also.
