craftsmanship
The old phrase 'coachwork' comes to mind seeing that Woodie. Besides being overly massive, I can see how old style horse carriage builders became car body builders.
In my family's history, my grandfather started a parcel delivery service that became a 30-truck long haul entreprise by the 1960s. I'd been told that skilled labour and materials, was cheaper buying than a production unit, especially when he hired good men and owned farms with woodlots. It was nothing for him to buy a cab and chassis single axle truck and over the winter have his men build a bed and stake sides. They also built highway speed trailers for the single axle tractors. Quite small and underpowered by today's consumer standards, but big rigs for the day.

If I had nothing to do for the rest of my life I’d love to do this Ford. Lots of coachwork in it too.

Impressive work!
Mind you, woodies built on truck chassis were in fact used by the military during WW2 - see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=23738
