How to Show off a Woody

Woodies--1960s station wagons with wood-paneled sides--came in all shapes and sizes. Various manufacturers produced some type of Woody, and you are bound to see one or two at most car shows. If you own a Woody and would like to show it off, here are a few suggestions for you.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Clean your Woody inside and out. To save time, take it down to your local car wash and have them wash, wax the exterior and vacuum the interior. Then bring it home and touch up any areas that might have been missed. Don't forget to clean under the hood; many car enthusiasts like to take a peek at the engine and listen to it purr.
2. Create a detail sheet listing all stock parts and any restorations or upgrades that have been done to your Woody. List interesting facts about the Woody, such as the year it first came off the production line and maybe the original cost to purchase a Woody.
3. Take your Woody to local car events to show it off. You can look on the Internet for shows in your surrounding area or check websites, such as The Car Lounge, that have forums owners and enthusiasts of Woodies.
4. Take your Woody out for a spin. Cruise your neighborhood on Saturdays and Sundays and show it off. This is a great way to get free exposure.
5. Post photos and information about your Woody on the Internet. Automobile forums and classifieds like Woodie Classified Ads are free and allow you to show off your Woody to the world.
