A woodie (or a woodie wagon) is a type of station wagon where the rear car bodywork is constructed of wood or is styled to resemble wood elements. Originally, wood framework augmented the car's structure. Over time manufacturers supplanted wood construction with a variety of materials and methods evoking wood construction — including infill metal panels, metal framework, or simulated wood-grain sheet vinyl bordered with three-dimensional, simulated framework. Wood construction was evoked abstractly on the Nissan Pao (1989-1991) and Ford Flex (2009–2019) with a series of horizontal grooves and strakes.
