Actually, if I remember correctly, wasn't there a British car that was built on a wood chassis? Was it the Cooper Mini or something else?

Morgan. Some had three wheels, too.
Actually, prewar American cars had nearly as much wood as metal. You just couldn't see it, except on the woodies.

Lotsa sharp corners and edges. Hell in even a minor fender-bender, or bumper-thumper. I woodn't want one.

Wood can be made to look much more streamlined and beautiful than that. Just look at any wooden boat. This thing is ugly and clunky looking.

I suspect this is made to appeal to the steampunk types. Their stuff is purposely clunky.

I thought steampunk hardware virtually always has brass as a major component.
