American Woodies 1928-1953

English

By (author): Norm Mort

This highly illustrated study examines the rise in popularity of the Woody station wagon in North America, from the introduction of the Ford Model A in 1928, up to the last Woody built by Buick in 1953. As well as Woody wagons, sedans and convertibles are also featured fashionable cars that were favoured among celebrities and high society. Woodies were also used extensively as service vehicles during World War II, and while Ford led the industry, many other American car manufacturers competed in this specialised yet lucrative market, from the major to the more obscure. With 100 images which include contemporary brochure illustrations, period literature, factory photos and over fifty new, unpublished colour photos of restored examples detailed captions, and supportive text, this book conveys the importance of these historic vehicles so prized by collectors today.

About Norm Mort

Canadian Norm Mort has had a lifelong interest in historic vehicles and by the age of 10 was photographing old vehicles parked by the side of the road; by the age of 12 he was the youngest member on the executive of the Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada. After graduating from the University of Toronto Norm became a teacher and librarian in the public school system. However it was not long before his love of old cars and trucks led him to become a freelance automotive writer for magazines and newspapers in the field of transport which he has now done for over 30 years. Norm has written over a dozen books about historic vehicles and has become Canada's most prolific writer on old cars and trucks. Norm is also an animal lover and has written books about travelling with pets (combining both of his passions) and about living with a pet menagerie. Norm lives in Canada with Scottish wife Sandy and a variety of pets. Their son Andrew has been the photographer for all of Norm's books.
