[Greg Myers]

I always thought these were called "Ute" and primarily from the Land Down Under.

[Greg Myers]

Being similar to what John showed us. Can't find many on line not knowing what to call them.

I always liked this body style. It's cool and different. Sort of a precursor to the El Camino/Ranchero. Years back, someone offered a couple of resin options. Don't know if they're still available though. I'd like to see the 37 Chevy/39 ford tooled up.

The just announce Hyundai Santa Cruz. Kinda has the "ute" look.

IDK, thinking it is an updated Brat more than anything.

Here's a coupla whack jobs...

      

 

[Rob Hall]

I like the Australian Holden Ute and Ford Falcon Ute...

[iamsuperdan]

Have a look at Smyth Performance. https://www.smythkitcars.com/

He's building ute kits for Volkswagen Mk4 Jetta, Volkswagen Mk5 Jetta, Audi A4, Dodge Charger, and now the Subaru WRX/STI.

I love this stuff.

That has to be the "Coolist" thing I'v seen , in a long time !

[Tom Geiger]

I finished this one in 2009, from the snap kit.  Back in the 1930s you could buy the drop in pickup box for a coupe. I believe you could find it in the Sears catalog.  I thought that would be a cool idea for this rod.

[Art Anderson]

I really do need to finish this one, that I had started as a possible All American Models resin transkit years ago:  1937 Chevrolet Coupe  Express:

I would almost say the top pic is a Huston Terraplane.  Might look under that on google.

Also found this with a quick search.

On the two coupes with the beds sticking out of the back, judging by the seals around the edges it looks like the beds are removable/retractable.  The burgundy and black one looks almost like the bed slides in and out like a file drawer.  Is this the case?

[Oldcarfan27]

Considering that it still has a trunk lid and what looks like tracks on the side, I would have to say "yes"

[Greg Myers]

Then there was this . . . 

[Brizio]

Two build I really enjoy. 
The EL Hursto, out of a Cutlass Revell kit in 1/25.

Here the full build: EL Hursto

 

And the Ferrari Unicorno, also from a Revell kit.
Here the full build: Ferrari Unicorno
