Castagna Presents "Woody" Cars At Geneva

Castagna Milano will introduce three models at the Geneva Auto Show, including the Rolls-Royce coupe we recently brought you. The other vehicles feature a wood exterior, and are known as woodys.

Based on the Fiat 500, the WoodyWagon features wood inserts on the sides and rear which create a retro feel. The rear door has been replaced with a new unit that increases load capacity to 440 dm.

Mini Clubman models can be outfitted with the Passion Kit Woody. Like custom made furniture, owners will be able to select the type of wood they will have applied to their car. If wood doesn’t float your boat, the company also offers more modern material choices such as carbon fiber.
