Re: Unusual truck
A nice image of a well restored vehicle. It looks like it is from the 1940s.
Vehicles of this configuration have been very common in Australia since at least the 1920s. They are referred to as "utility vehicles", or more commonly "utes" for short. Over the last couple of decades though tradesmen have tended to use utes which look more like small trucks, generally of Japanese origin. Hudsons were sold in Australia at that time but were not as common as other American brands.

Re: Unusual truck
It's a Hudson. It's got the Hudson badge on the front, not very clear but unmistakeable.

Re: Unusual truck
Nope, For sure a Hudson. You can't tell by the angle but they have a very loooong hood.

Re: Unusual truck
Steve noticed the unusual position of the vehicle and so did I. I was actually referring to Tony about the brand name because he referred to it as a ute. Bill is just getting to understand why I refer his Ford a ute. You see in Oz (according to my youngest son's world) you are either a Ford person or a Holden person. He is a Holder person so all his vehicles so far are Holdens. This goes back to his grandfather who used to own a Holden...he got that from him. Whereas Bill here in the US owned his Fords to use as a utility vehicles in their farm...I just thought Tony might notice my response even without referring to his post and smile. Sorry for the confusion... Originally Posted by mknittle

Re: Unusual truck
Yes, Izzie. I did smile. My first car was an FJ Holden and I have owned two other Holdens since then. No utes though.

Re: Unusual truck
If you put it that way, yes -- it is a GM product, but it didn't matter...in Oz you either own a Ford or a Holden. and I have had Mazdas and Toyotas so sonny boys sneer at my choices. Originally Posted by mknittle
