Conspiracy Theory: Wood Panel Cars never existed

4-5 years ago, my dad was talking about a wood paneled station wagon they had as kids. I didn’t remember ever seeing one in public, so I’ve actively been looking. I still haven’t seen one, so I’m pretty sure they’re a Mandela Effect.

2.) You’re a moron, this isn’t a conspiracy baw.

We had a navy blue Jeep Grand Wagoneer with the wood paneling.

A century on, wood-sided cars are still stylin’
They made the frames from wood in the early days. Ford bought a forest of over 300,000 acres and had sawmills producing lumber for cars.

Fisher Body owned large tracts of woodland for the timber to make those cars.
Fisher made body’s for GM. The Bayou Cocodrie Wildlife Management area near Vidalia was developed from one of those tracts.
From Wiki.
By 1914 their operations had grown to become the world's largest manufacturer of auto bodies. One reason for their success was the development of interchangeable wooden body parts that did not require hand-fitting, as was the case in the construction of carriages. This required the design of new precision woodworking tools.
The company owned 160,000 acres (650 km2) of timberland and used more wood, carpet, tacks, and thread than any other manufacturer in the world. It had more than 40 plants and employed more than 100,000 people, and pioneered many improvements in tooling and automobile design including closed all-weather bodies.

We had a blue one for awhile. I’d claim the rear facing jump-seat for myself.
But dad did not like Fords and after year, traded it in on a blue Suburban.
When cars were using real wood as siding, accidents were made worse by people being killed or maimed by splinters.

They may not have been made out of wood, but would definitely be some sort of sticker type material or painted exterior.
So technically he could be right since no wood was used in the production. Could you imagine if wood was used in a modern car.

Was exactly like this in the body shop of a Buick dealer I worked a summer and fall for. Insurance would not total it so it was cut lengthwise down the middle and another half welded on.

I exist
Part of my family was from Mississippi and cut lumber there for the automobile business.
I am 100% sure wood paneled vehicles existed before World War II. After that it was still real wood but was more a fashion statement for a certain part of the buying market.
If you see KingsFord charcoal in your local grocery or big box store, it originated from the leftover wood at the Ford automobile plant used in building their vehicles.
