I recently saw a photograph of a Plymouth "woodie" and it brought back memories of my Grandmother's car. I was 10 or 11 at the time and I thought that she had the greatest car I had ever seen on the road. The early Plymouth wagons were called "woodies" because of their construction--some were called depot hacks. Mostly they were just called station wagons. It's a name that stuck--nothing exciting, just a good, plain descriptive title for a multi-passenger, cargo carrying motor vehicle which is a classic today.
