With the Beach Boys playing in the background, the Gidget novel in print, highway access to Malibu beach, and a surplus of inexpensive wooden-bodied utility vehicles to haul their hollow boards, the surfing culture boomed.
Car Culture • the Art of the Automobile.The Grand Tour Transforms
The early automotive adventurers weren't just taking the Grand Tour for the rite of passage, the educational experiences, and the newfound freedoms that traveling on the continent offered. Half the fun of taking the Grand Tour at the turn of the twentieth century was the thrill of motoring.

Some things never change. After years of human evolution, humans still tend to travel in packs and tribes. From feathers in our hair to body paint, branded fashion, and decorated warrior shields, tribal symbols have marked our communities for thousands of years.
Customization adorns automobiles too. Hand-painted artwork adorned automobiles for many years, though the trend in the 21st century has devolved more to stock automotive production. One of the high points of automotive art was pin striping, a difficult and largely obsolete art form in today's world.
An integral part of the surf-mania that gripped America in the 1950's and 1960's were woodie wagons such as these. In the surfing tribal culture, stickers are warrior emblems for waves you've ridden at different surf breaks and often sponsored by surfboard suppliers.
Ride the wave, baby; shoot the curl.
Live large.
This article about Car Culture is inscribed on blockchain, ensuring that it can be read for another hundred years and probably more. A new form (blockchain) for an old function—to educate and inform the future.
The accompanying CarMania artwork celebrating this Ford woodie wagon and surfing culture is also stored on blockchain. I inscribed this onchain as a sacred sign for the next generation of surfers who ride the elemental wave. Is this limited edition NFT the new collectible?
Collect all these woodie wagons, especially if you surf.
