Chevrolet recently released the details of the latest Spark Woody, which is Chevy’s art car set to be showcased at the Auto Show in Paris later this year. The details include specifics regarding the car as well a number of images.

This car carries the tradition of the ‘50s and ‘60s in North America, when such vehicles were brought by the surfers. Such cars are generally big vehicles with bodywork framed with timber. However, the Spark Woody isn’t built of wood like the original woodies but has been covered Di-Noc wood grained vinyl paneling, which maintains the woody effect.

This car has been closely associated with surfing for decades and it was but obvious that the venue to showcase the latest model would be a surfer’s destination. Chevrolet chooses Newqualy, one of the most popular surfing venues and very well known for its surfing culture. Here the Atlantic Ocean and the British Isles meet at perhaps the narrowest peninsula and makes for excellent setting for surfing.

The Spark Woody is the latest in the Art Spark series that was designed by Chevrolet Europe last year. The first of the series was a unique and innovative interpretation by the famous German fashion designer, Smeillinener and it debuted at an art competition organized by Chevrolet in Berlin last year. This car symbolizes the true surfer spirit and manages to re create the surfer cars of the ‘50s and the ‘60s. All the car loving surfers across the globe will be eagerly waiting for this car to be launched.
