"Craigerator"™ Woody

Woody

A long, long time before there were "soccer mom" SUV's, there were Woody Wagons. While they were only built up until the 1950's and were a favorite of suburbanized America, the Woody is most known to us now through the popularization of the surfing generation in the early 60's. I love these wagons and this is my tribute to them.

This is a 1954 GE refrigerator that will hold a 1/2 keg of your favorite beer.

A full nut and bolt restoration.

A brand new 1/8hp compressor.

The entire Freon system was pressure tested.

It was stripped, sanded, powder coated and received a complete nut & bolt restoration.

It was painted a House of Kolor Sea foam pastel green. This paint job from primer to clear took 18 coats of paint.

An oak panel replaces the inside of the original door.

I used a wooden surfboard tap.

A recessed holder was fabricated into the handle to include surfboards life long companion, Mr. Zogs Sex Wax.

Yellow and turquoise neon shoot out from underneath the Woody to give it a nice warm glow.

Copper tubing and a Tiki cup overflow add to it's flavor as a surfing icebox.

The CO2 tank and regulator were moved to the outside (in the back) for space.
