Art Anderson Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Why didn't we ever get any of these ? We did, eventually--it was called the 1957 Ford Ranchero. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A natural for an old Jag IRS unit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Irwin Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Nice Angila Ute, but why does everybody want to cut them up and ruin them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Nice Angila Ute, but why does everybody want to cut them up and ruin them? Maybe in part because the stock engine will get you from 0 to 50 in just a tick under 40 seconds, and flat out is less than 60 MPH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) We got some coupe pickups from Chevy back in the thirties, but they are about as rare as hens teeth. They probably didn't sell very well. Edited November 24, 2014 by Jantrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Zipper Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I wish we would have had 'Utes" here in the U.S.A. Especially some of the Chrysler products that were never made into an el Camino - Ranchero type vehicles here . A few years ago I wanted an Australian style Ute so I raided the parts box, it's a '36 Ford coupe with a Revell '37/'38 Ford cab.

Chuck Most Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yes indeedy, Bill! Ford was building coupe utilities in Australia as early as 1932. One of my all-time faves- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 We got some coupe pickups from Chevy back in the thirties, but they are about as rare as hens teeth. They probably didn't sell very well. A friend and Chevy guy says these were also offered as a kit from the dealer. Claims the if it was offered on a Vette or Camaro we would have exact numbers form Chevy on all colors and engine options on these. I liked the last part mostly when he told it .

Chuck Most Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 This looks like a US '56, but it was described as a '57. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
