Woodie Car Lineup

San Diego Woodies
Board of Directors

Phil Walls

President

Phil Walls - Club Member since 2007

I joined the hobby while in college in 1967, when I purchased a 1934 Chevy coupe. My passion since that day has been restoring and driving vintage cars in Indiana, Florida and California. After attending the Wavecrest shows throughout the 1990s, my craving for a woodie grew and led me to finding a restorable "barn find" 1937 Ford woodie. I proudly registered my woodie for the first time at the 2007 Wavecrest Show.

Clerk

Bunny Sicklick - Club Member since 2014

We moved to San Diego county in 2009. My husband has been a car enthusiast for 64 years and his grandfather offered him a woodie which he declined. Over the years he realized his mistake and how great it would be to have a woodie, so we purchased one in 2013 and joined San Diego Woodies.

Secretary & Membership

Jim Hallsted - Club Member since 2011

I bought my first woodie when I was 15 back in 1964. I was a teenage surfer so this was the perfect car. Moving ahead to 1991, I attended Wavecrest and was hooked. My wife agreed to buy a woodie if she got new carpet. Done.
Bought my current woodie in 1992. It was pretty ugly but different than most so I went to work. I have since been to 33 Wavecrest's in a row and the woodie has been in my garage for 32 plus years.

Treasurer

George Beebe - Club Member since 2017

I started my woodie adventure in the late 90’s with a 1948 Plymouth wagon. Started the Penns Wood Chapter with Mike Grajcar around that time, served as a director of the National Woodie Club in the early 2000’s and was Secretary for 20+ years before retiring from that job a few years ago. Currently serving as a Western Director of the NWC, Director of the NWC Foundation and back as Treasurer for San Diego Woodies which I’ve been involved with since 2017. I’ve enjoyed having the Plymouth, a 47 T&C sedan and a 35 Ford wagon throughout my Woodie journey.
