Huntington Beach is a typical beach town on the Southern California coast. You'll see an over-abundance pretty girls on hot summer days, tanned guys, and woodies. Not only is the "wood" the official car of Huntington Beach, it might as well be considered the official car of every coastal city from Malibu to San Diego.

The woody car clubs like to get and drive, participate in car events and show off their well preserved or refurbished vehicles with authentic wood trims for which they were named. Woodies come in lots of sizes, shapes and colors, but they generally originate from a certain era (mid-20th century). You'll often find kids' eyes light up with excitement and the big kids light up even brighter when a woody car pulls up. Like a shiny present, the cars are admired for their natural wood grain doors, often two-toned in color.
