When in the course of human wikipedia editing, it becomes necessary for Jill to find Eggcorn submissions for this blog. I could be generous and assume there was some confusion between the “woody” station wagon and the timber framing of a Tudor-style house.  It harkens back to the time my friends thought a couch that folded out was a “hideabed” (all one word), completely missing the descriptive nature of the phrase.  Two door, four door.  These terms are too bland, so we want to drive around in our fancy Tudor and Fordor cars.
