| | About vehicle
During the early years of automobile production, wood-bodied vehicles were mostly used as work vehicles. Depot Hacks transported passengers from train stations to hotels. Trucks often used wood as their truck-beds. As time progressed, wood-bodied cars became a status symbol and grew in popularity. Woodies, as they became known, required a high-level of craftsmanship and as such, were considered a luxury option, or a nice-to-have, on a vehicle. 4-door sedan luxury vehicle was built for either city or estate transportation, and was available for 6 or 9 passenger versions.
