Woody or Woodie?

[rockne10]

With the debut of the '47 prototype at the Museum for this International Meet, downplaying the answer is not an option. Is it a Woodie? Or a Woody? The Museum display says, "Woody." Not one of Merriam Webster's ancient references.

I'm calling the car a Woody.

He actually prefers Woodrow.

I've used both. I'm not sure it matters since it's more of a nickname than a model name.

They are practicing fiscal responsibility. There is one less letter in woody than woodie!

Generally, in the old car world, it's Woodie.

Example: the National Woodie Club...

Sadly, most internet references to the Jan & Dean/Brian Wilson song that made the term, um, ubiquitous seem to be from transcription, not the copyrighted text. And we're sick of the Beach Boys anyway. Right?

I hope no one will prove the point by the standard reference work on the subject, Urban Dictionary.

Distinction not cost effective.

"Louie, Louie.....Louie, Lou-eye..."
