My friend, Trevor Paulson, from Brisbane, sent to me, this link, on Australian E-Bay of a rare 1936 Roadster Ute. It seems that these are even rare in Australia.

Gerald Thiele who was visiting NZ last year from Vernon Texas has one, that he restored. His ute was pictured on his business card and looks lovely in Washington Blue. I am not sure where these pictures came from so an unable to give credit to the photographer.

By around 1936, the coupe ute was far more popular than the roadster ute in Australia, mainly because of the weather proof issues. It just comes down to what was sold in the day due to practicality and popularity.

By definition roadsters have removable windshields and no roll up (or electric) windows.But we all know that.

I will take responsibility for this. I thought that I was in the V8 Section, when I posted this. Then, later, I went to look for it, in the V8 Section, and couldn't find it. Then I discovered what I had done. I then posted it in the V8 Section, thinking no harm was done.
Sorry to have offended you.

Gerald Thiele is a friend of mine and is our local model A club. I have been to his shop and I have seen his 36 roadster Ute. It is a beautiful car!!!!!

C26Pinelake · 10-09-2012, 02:54 PM

That is indeed funny because they were both posted at exactly 1:04 p.m. yesterday....so I guess later was at the same time !

ctlikon0712 · 10-09-2012, 03:59 PM

If Ryan the administrator posted about a Ford Trimotor airplane, I don't think he will have a problem with this thread. Jeeez!

C26Pinelake · 10-09-2012, 05:14 PM

This site is about Model A's...period. I don't want to read about a 57 Chevy or a trailer for sale. As members we must make it sacred. Why would somebody condone this abuse of the site ? Yes ( 0712 ) I can also say....jeeeez !

As long as we are nit-pickin here, Mike's post on the v8 site was 24 minutes later than the one in this thread.

I see Ryan must have stepped in. Thanks Ryan. And as for the 36 roadster pickup, I like it.

sawzall · 10-09-2012, 10:08 PM

i may be wrong.. but the ebay roadster looks like it has woodie rear fenders.. and the inner fenders are strikingly similar as well..

Interesting..

Look again. The V8 post was at 1:28.
I don't understand what you are doing, but I'm still sorry that I offended you.

This.

If you don't click on it, you don't see read about it.

P.S. · 10-09-2012, 11:53 PM

Interesting how the listing says, "It was a dry Wimmera car and has only seen two winters in last decade."

Are you kidding me? That thing is borderline basket case, and he's telling us that it has only seen 2 winters???!!

pooch · 10-10-2012, 12:22 AM

This guy on ebay wants top dollar, and most of his junk is nothing more than patterns.

It might have been two winters in the past decade, but the car is 76 years old, so that leaves 66 years of winters and summers and use and abuse. I have been to this blokes yard, and there is a lot of rust in it. He is a nice bloke, but he is a wheeler and dealer, so like any other dealer, he wants diamond encrusted gold ingots for anything that he sells. His main customers are rodders, and they are more willing to pay for something like this than what a restorer is.
