1930 Ford Woody

I was driving along a back road in Maine when I came upon this machine parked on the shoulder. No one around. Maybe it escaped from a barn. Old cars get restless in Maine, in the spring. Like the '32 Ford woody we liberated from a barn in Blue Hill last spring.
Michael Moore suggests that this woody wagon has escaped from my novel, The O'Briens. In the book, the car lives in Santa Barbara.
We found a wonderful 1940 Chevrolet woody  and a 1950 Country Squire out in SB County last month.
