Despite the chilly Sunday, old wooden cars lined the parking lot at A.D. Makepeace headquarters Oct. 15 for the Woodie Car Show, which was rescheduled from September due to weather.

Inside, some escape to the warmth and enjoy the musical stylings of the Class Action Suits.

But nothing was quite as enticing for attendees as those old wooden cars.

Over the murmur of car talk, a loud bellow rang out: “Hello, New York!”

Andy Logrippo, 5, sat “chauffeur” in his grandfather’s 1939 Chevy half-ton Chassis, which was originally owned by a doctor in Manhattan who had a house on the Cape. 

Andy said he loved the car, especially because of its yellow and black coloring.

His father, Angelo Logrippo said, “He told me on the way down here he wants to take his girl out on a ride with him when he gets a girlfriend.”

Chris Larsen, the grandfather and owner of the car, said the car being a half ton makes it “unique” as most woodies were built on a three-quarter-ton chassis.

Larsen said he bought the car in 1983, becoming its second owner, adding the car has been maintained, but never restored. 

He said he doesn’t take the car to too many shows — just dinner close by “because you always run the risk of breaking down. It never has, but you assume someday it will.”

Tom White said he obtained his woodie car 40 years ago when it was completely restored. The car has traveled all over the country.

 “It’s like driving your living room,” he said, explaining the car is 5,000 pounds.

White added the car is on a truck-based freight chassis, which means it's stretched out and longer than the typical car at the time.

However, given its design, it was too hard to maintain, so it was phased out by 1949, White said.

He said the car is easy to drive and has power brakes, but he doesn’t suggest trying to parallel park it given it has no power steering.

Mark Cellucci, Mark Ingaciola and Renee Quebec attended the car show as antique lovers.

Cellucci said among the cars in the lot, he loved the convertible, but also the unrestored 1942 Plymouth Station Wagon.

The car is one of three of its kind left in the world and its the only one to remain in its original body.

According to David Buckman, a member of the National Woodie Club, the car was used in Hawaii by the U.S. Navy during WWII.

Cellucci said although he doesn’t own any woodies himself given their rarity and cost, he does own a few of his own antique cars, including one he calls “Mr. Fletcher.”

Regarding the event, he said, “It's great that they bring awareness to these rare vehicles, so that history lives on.”

Quebec said given it's a beach town, she’s surprised none of the woodies have a surfboard mounted to the top just as one had done with a bicycle.

Buckman said he was the one who suggested the woodie car show to A.D. Makepeace back in 2016.

“The beauty of this show is not only the ambience of the place, but the fact that we have great food with incredible music inside that door,” he said.

Buckman added every car has a story and he has made a lot of friends through car shows.

His car is a 1952 green Buick — one of only three in the world with manual transmission — which he has owned for 35 years.

Buckman said, “People come out to just see these pieces of automotive art because they're never going to be made again. We have preserved a piece of automobile history here and that's why people come out all day long to see it.”
