Here we see the woody wagon of the future as imagined by Arthur Radebaugh in one of the advertisements he created for Bohn during WWII. Looks like it has a McLaren F1-style central driving position, plus two or three bench seats so you could probably fit like ten people in there.  A nd judging by the layout, it appears to be either electric or rear-engined. Also, the combination of futuristic styling with wood panels on the side just works. ( though I really hope it has some beefy A/C. Otherwise it’d be a rolling oven) 10/10, would daily.

Lol, I hadn’t thought of that! Though with a bit of research, it seems that bubble tops like the one depicted here (at least in the world of custom cars) are made of vacuum-formed P lexiglass. It actually seems pretty interesting...

plexiglass would be a lot harder to crack...and cheaper to replace... makes sense

Not to mention it’s probably much easier to form Plexiglass into a complex  shape like that...
