An Old Woody

I wonder why so many people think they have to have a surf board on top of those. Same goes for fuzzy dice on the mirrors. You hardly ever see dingo balls though. Probably goes back to the "it's mine I can do what I like" line of thinking.
I wonder what wooden spoked wheels would look like on a Dodge Challenger?

It has running boards so I am guessing 39 or 40.
1948ish Chev.
Suburban
That what it looks like to me too
Your right! Sharp eye.
'48-'49 Chevys had running boards. Also they had the one piece door windows (no wing window) and the split windshield. I forget what year they went back to having wing windows, and when the running boards ended.
I think this one might be a GMC, as the emblem is in the correct place on the hood can't actually read it though. BUT that is a FAKE woody. Someone handy with an airbrush painted it on. You can see it is flat on the metal and the lighter color boards don't rise off of the surface of the truck.
Far as the surfboards go, blame Jan and Dean. In the song "Surf City" they hauled their boards on a Woody.
Still is a fun truck. I would roll in it, no problem!

That is the 1948 sedan delivery. Based on the car design/chassis.
The suburban was based on the truck design/chassis. No fender extensions.
Never did like those extensions. Buick had them going clear back to the rear fenders.

Yep body wrap. 3M, PPG and other companies make the vinyl sheets. You can have it all scaled like a model car decals, but enlarged for a real vehicle.
This was the method 2 decades ago,
Plain sheets,
Now with laser and modern graphing vinyl plotters, anything goes,
Some vehicles look great with it and others I want to just puke.
What was this owner thinking? It's a Mustang, a fast horse, not a pond boat! But this is the 3M demo booth. LOL
another odd one,
You can order them as a kit, or have them do custom.
Here's one done like the OP with all the wood swirl grain. Look closely. 1951 fast back Studebaker
Yea my grandmother had that contact paper in her drawers..
Was she able to get them off ?
I thought same thing. The 70’s ford wagons had adhesive wood grain,, would peel off with age
There’s a method for creating wood grain on paint. Some 40’s chevs had wood grain painted dash
