Display Hierarchical Data in a Table

Question

I have a hierarchical data structure that I need displayed in WPF. I'm very new to WPF and have been trying to come up with a way to do this. But, alas, I have drawn a blank and ask you guys for help. My data structure looks like this:

• Ford
  • F-150
    • 2009
      • P4445
    • 2008
      • N998
    • 2007
      • M775
  • F-350
    • 2008
      • N999
    • 2007
      • M777

I want the data to be displayed in a table for easy lookup like so:

Ford
Model              | 2009    | 2008    | 2007
---------------------------------------------
F-150              | P4445   | N998    | M775
F-350              |         | N999    | M777

I am totally lost on how to accomplish this or if it is even possible. It would be easier if it was in a tabular format, but sadly I cannot change the structure of the data. What would be the best and most efficient way (I probably have 70 models I need to display at once) to do this in WPF?

use the TreeView Control. Check this article.
