Default Re: Australian 1940-1941 Ford Open Cab Pick-Ups


I know that I am getting slightly off track here, but I thought that I would share this picture of an Australian 1941 Ford Deluxe Ute. This Ute was in a Brisbane Wrecking Yard of yesteryear.
Check out the Waterfall Trim on each side of the centre strip on the Hood. That is how you tell that this Ute is a 1941 model and not a 1940 model.
In the USA, you released a similar vehicle with the Waterfall Trim on each side the Hood, but the only body style available in the USA for this 1941 model was the Sedan Delivery.
On this Ute, the photo of which was taken decades back shows a Hatch on the Roof. It may have been an ex Military model, or this modification could have been added later?
What is unusual is that these models have Ford Deluxe on each side of the Hood. all very unusual.
