It does look like an Ute.

Re: 1938 Ford Roadster Pick Up
 

Every UTE i've seen, the box and the cab are connected and look like one long rear panel
so with the box and cab separated, some of you say, this is still a Ute ???

It's def. not a ute...

Re: 1938 Ford Roadster Pick Up
 

Not an Aussie Ute. The last year they were done was 1938,as a ''Standard', which is better looking than a Deluxe to me. Knowing Ford Aust., they probably did a few Deluxe types as well, but all low volumes. Also, as someone said, the Aussie types were a continuous panel from the door to the tailgate.

Re: 1938 Ford Roadster Pick Up
 

As tudortomnz stated 1938 was the last year for Roadster Utes in Australia. They were exactly that, Roadsters with side curtains not roll up Cabriolet style door windows as this one has, which makes this one unique. Coupe Utes were built for many years after 1938 of course.

" I figured the Ford Barn would dig it."
Who wouldn't?

Re: 1938 Ford Roadster Pick Up
 

Argentine vehicles were lefthand drive, like the US.

They also have all of the tooling for 64 ? Falcons.

Ryan said : "Dig deeper and the clues start to point to Argentina. The battery and most of the electrical components are Argentinian (is that a word?)"

Actually it would be "ARGENTINE" . Good guess though.

Re: 1938 Ford Roadster Pick Up
 

Its made up out of a open car and pickup bed,. The gap between the bed and cab is two wide the chrome doesn't follow around ,its right hand alright ,Argentina could be factory

Re: 1938 Ford Roadster Pick Up
 

According to "Argentine" factory documents, that's not the case. While they did put many left hand drive cars on the road, many others were right hand. As to why? I dunno... It's whacky!
