1949 Ford Ute - 797 UXY
These rare vehicles are not widely known, and reportedly came about as a result of a letter written by a farming couple and sent to the Ford Motor Company of Australia.
The letter was a request that Ford manufacture a truck that could be used for their light duty farm work, but which would also be comfortable enough for family outings and general errands.
Then engineer, Lewis Bandt, set to work on the request by playing with a few sketches. He chose the front half of a sedan, curved off the rear, and mated it to a small pickup truck type bed.
The final design was then approved, only for Ford Australia of course, and so in 1934 the production line began manufacturing the Ford Ute -- Ute, being the nickname for a utility vehicle ... a trend that continues to this day!
