    No its not a wagon... its a SUV, but since it is a factory woody, I thought I would post it. I have never seen one personally before. Has anyone else? I like that concept.

    I may have seen one back in '85 - can't really remember. They called it a "Woody TCA package" - what does "TCA" stand for? The design of the moldings and overlay lead me to believe that this could have been a "dealer-installed" kit. Usually though, dealers prefer to have striping vendors do this kind of installation.....

    I find the pic of the ad interesting as it depicts a well-to-do guy going to the fancy country club for a cocktail party in his faux-woody GMC S-15 Jimmy . This was in '85 before the SUV craze hit in the early nineties, so people who previously wouldn't have bought a truck-type vehicle like that started to, thanking it was so cool to own now. I guess GM was being forward thinking then, of course too bad for them it was Ford with their Explorer that tapped into that craze.
