The woody was also popular in the UK. Possibly the strangest was the Mini version (Morris Traveller or Austin Countryman), since the wood wasn't part of the structure but was glued on to a standard steel mini estate.
Or rather I thought that was unusual until I saw some of these US woodys which are clearly built exactly the same way.
