Consider the depot hack, progenitor of the station wagon as we know it. An exposed wood body on a rugged chassis a Ford Model T, let’s say. Humble. Hardworking. Charming to modern eyes, depot hacks were a product of necessity, that being the need to move people and goods cost-effectively; their execution presents an interesting blend of mass-produced machinery and hand-hewn wood.
There’s a vague Arts and Crafts sensibility to the effort. Whatever William Morris would have thought of the methods of mass production, he surely would have had some appreciation for the depot hack’s fundamental honesty the way it showcases natural materials and the craftsman s skill in shaping them.
