Nick Alexander Woodie Collection
The distinguished Nick Alexander Woodie Collection was auctioned off this August, at the 2009 Monterey classic car event in the United States, achieving in excess of $7 million in total sales. It is a good opportunity to witness the popular wood-panel trim sported by various cars are the time.

The four-hour auction attracted spirited bidding as 51 magnificent pre-WW2 and post-war Ford & Mercury wood-bodied station wagons crossed the block before a packed house.

The top-seller of the night was a rare 1946 Mercury Sportsman Convertible which brought an impressive $368,500. Other highlights included a 1948 Ford Super Deluxe Sportsman Convertible for $275,000, and an all-wheel-drive 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Station Wagon for $247,500.

These are the last glimpses of a time when big cars were the American dream, and woody wagons were actually considered cool.

What do you think?
