That would be a steel CHASSIS. The framing (therefore "the frame")is
wood-just like my TD.
And the story's better that way.

ah-ha! the misnomer of being wooden framed continues! the morgan
resides upon a steel frame! BUT! the coachwork is literally nailed to
an ash wooden framework. very similar to vintage fords and similar
cars of the teens era. so the morgan has an ash body frame but is
steel skinned . the area the car spent most of it's life & where it was
stored has a lot to do with how rusty or dry rotted the coach work is.
and "rusty" or "dry rotted" are two extremes the spridget world are not
familiar with.
