Woodies have always enchanted me, for the first one that I ever saw one was in Galveston eon years ago and I had thought to myself, may be these yankees are mad and have build car out of wood. But later realised that they were indeed a breed of cars.
The only reason that I see for their poor survival rate in India could be that they look like HEARSE cars.
I am getting a devilish idea of getting a real rotten 1956-57 Fiat and build a woodie out of it.

A Morris (or Hindustan?) traveller in a 1973 movie- DHAMKEE. Hope it survives.

In the second pic- What is the car behind the Morris?

Is it French by any chance- Renault, Simca- or even a Peugeot?

There used to be a late '70s woody parked at Napean sea Road, Mumbai which looked something like the pic below. Does anyone have an idea where that car is.

It is either a Peugeot 204 or 304

Here are a couple of Woodies:

This appears to be a 1952 Plymouth Woody from Chandigarh

However as per my knowledge the last Plymouth Woody was in 1950 with the P18 Series. Please see this link

I would rather say it is BMY registered, not BMT. BMT would be a commercial series, with a white plate.
