Origin of a favourite tow vehicle, the ute

Postby edgeau » Sun Feb 27, 2022 1:59 am

I just happened across this article today on the origin of the "ute" which is a popular vehicle still to this day here in Australia.

I'd love to have one of the original 1934 Fords towing the teardrop but they are rare as hens teeth!

Definitely.
Did you notice that in the picture of the "Ford" plant, the guy is working on a 48/215 or FJ Holden? :lol:
