Wayne Yada of Premier Color Graphics recently did a refurbish on his 1950 Ford Country Squire, and one of the materials utilized was 3M DI-NOC FW-886.  Wayne explains the history below:

“In 1949 Ford came out with this new “woodie” style, and it had both the border trim and panels being made from real wood.  Because maintaining the wood was so cumbersome for consumers however, GM started switching from wood to all metal in 1950 (we call these “tin woodies”).   So not to be totally beat to the punch, Ford decided not to wait until 1951, so their changeover started in mid 1950.  The border panels continue to be wood (mine are maple), but the inner panels were metal with DI-NOC applied.  Since mine is a “late” 1950 model, that’s what it had from the factory, and since you were again offering the material (and mine was shot), I decided to utilize it.
