Woody in Texas

By Austin Speed Shop | November 20, 2008

You don’t see many Woodies cruising the streets of Austin, Texas.  I never even saw one till my first trip to California years ago.  Woodies are a really neat piece of automotive history and an icon representing one of the coolest subcultures of the last Century; Surfing.

Our pal Neal just had a ‘41 Ford Woody shipped to us from California.  It’s a neat old car that has been updated a bit without losing its classic cool.  It’s got ‘74 Jaguar suspension, a smooth running small block Chevy motor, and some fresh wood.  We added a Vintage Air system, some fresh carpet, a new stereo, and got everything working and running as it should.  This would be the perfect wagon to cruise down to the Texas Coast with a couple of Long Boards, tent, and a fishing pole…..maybe even cruise through Corpus Christi and stop into the Texas Surf Museum to pay homage.  Check it out:Texas Surf Museum
