This 1953 Buick Super wagon was one of the last of its kind with real pieces of wood to finish the bodywork. Shortly after, most manufacturers had even eliminated the appearance of wood on their bodies. Ford did keep at it for a while but with appliqués or decals (as in the case of the Country Squire).

The rear panels of a 1952 Buick woody were designed with picnics in mind; you might say it’s that era’s version of today’s pickup hatches made for tailgate parties!
